If the board of directors — which may be the owners of a small S corp — decides to keep the cash in the business, the money would become an asset of the company.

Is it worth it to form a s Corp?

However, not everyone benefits from forming an S corp. In some cases, the cost of forming an S corp, running payroll, and paying payroll taxes is more than what you’d save on taxes. Other times, after the expense of the owner’s salary, the business’s net income is so low that the tax savings are minimal.
