The LLC is currently normally taxed like a partnership with the members including income and expenditure on their own personal income tax returns.
This form of entity is a suitable vehicle for overseas applicants as there is no requirement for any shareholders to be US residents.

CORPORATION - INC

This is a statutory body and has a separate legal entity so is similar to the UK Limited company. It is sometimes referred to as a Business Corporation
The company is taxed as a corporation.

Directors and officers manage the affairs of the corporation.
