Will A 'Closely Held Corporation' Affect The Status of The Corporation / LLC
No, this status called a 'closely held corporation' is merely a corporation owned by an individual or small group of shareholders (often of the same family) with the majority of its shares owned by a few individuals. In other words these shares are not traded publicly on an exchange. This does not change a Corporation into an LLC or vice-versa.
