Raising Capital from family for S Corp

[bctiger]

What is the name of your state? South Carolina

I have just formed an S-Corp and filed form 2553 showing me as 100%. I am now going to need to raise capital from family members and want to do so through stock issuance that I will buy back ASAP. I have looked on the Secretary of State website not to find anything very helpful. Can someone give me advice on what steps I need to take. Do I need to file anything with the state, or do I just need to issue stock certificates to my family members? My main goal is to make sure that everything is documented, so in the event that I was not able to repay, they would be able to take the tax deduction.

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Filing requirements may vary from state to state. If this is a privately held corp, it's unlikely that you have to list the stockholders.

so in the event that I was not able to repay, they would be able to take the tax deduction.

Check with your CPA. The stockholders may not be able to claim deduction for a failed private company.
