CAN YOUR CORPORATION INVEST ITS PROFITS?
Yes! A corporation can generally use its retained profits to make investments, including stocks, bonds, and other assets — but there are important tax and corporate rules to consider.
📈 Why might a corporation invest retained earnings?
Instead of immediately withdrawing all profits personally, a corporation may choose to retain some funds and invest them for potential growth.
Before making investment decisions, consider:
✅ Corporate investment and tax implications
✅ Passive investment income
✅ Stocks, bonds, and other investment assets
✅ Record-keeping and corporate accounting
✅ How investment income may affect your corporation
✅ The difference between corporate and personal investing
