The C-Corp adds an extra level of taxation in most cases when trying to get earnings out of the company and ultimately into your pocket. I am trying to consider all legal avenues of extracting profit with the least taxation as possible

Thanks ^redacted‌ - As with most other responses I would say this is a super broad question, and really a question for your attorneys to understand the differences in structure and goals of transaction, etc. I have used all sorts of diff forms of entities, and there are attorneys who get paid a LOT of $$$$ who can structure things I never thought possible (e.g. tax free roll over of LLC shares into a new entity). But that kind of expertise is outside the scope of most deals - and certainly most deals contemplated on this site. Suggest doing some recon on ChatGPT or the like, and then talking to your counsel, seller's counsel and tax people, etc.

If I understand you properly, ^redacted‌, you're a C corporation shareholder (or are soon to become a shareholder) and want to get at the businesses profits without paying tax at the corporate and shareholder level? You can't, at least, not directly. Let me know if you want to sit down and talk structure. Always happy to do so. You can reach me at redacted
