Becoming a benefit corporation has advantages for every stakeholder in your business, from consumers and talent to shareholders and directors.

• Reduced Director Liability

  Benefit corporation status provides legal protection to balance financial and non-financial interests when making decisions — even in a sale scenario or as a publicly traded company.

• Expanded Stockholder Rights

  Investing in a benefit corporation gives impact investors the assurance they need that they will be able to hold a company accountable to its mission in the future.

• A Reputation For Leadership

  Your business will join other high profile, respected companies incorporated as benefit corporations (e.g. Patagonia in California), and be at the forefront of a growing movement.

• An Advantage in Attracting Talent

  Millennials will grow to 75% of the workforce by 2025, 77% say their “company’s purpose was part of the reason they chose to work there.” Benefit corporation status gives prospective employees confidence that a company is legally committed to their mission. — Deloitte Millennial Survey

• Increased Access to Private Investment Capital

  Benefit corporation status can make your company more attractive to long term investors as a company with increased legal protection, accountability and transparency around its mission.

• Increased Attractiveness to Retail Investors and Mission Protection as a Publicly Traded Company

  Benefit corporations create an attractive investment opportunity for the same conscious consumers that have fueled organics, fair trade, and buy local movements, while enjoying a deterrent against inoculation from the short-termism that plagues public equity markets.

• Demonstration Effect

  Benefit corporations show investors and entrepreneurs from every industry what the future Fortune 500 looks and acts like.
