Employees of Sub-S corporations are employees under the IRC. So the question of employee benefits is not specific to Sub-S corporations. You should consider a PEO.

There is no such thing as a digital S corporation. An S corporation is simply a corporation which makes an election to be taxed as a partnership.

If you have already properly formed your S copy - 1120 S filing with a recognition from the IRS, your best next consult is with a CPA experienced with S corps and your personal financial situation. An attorney can assist with other capital suggestions, but the entity has been formed. So a CPA and/or an attorney with an LLM in tax are your next best partners.

An S-Corp has some limitations here (such as no more than 100 share holders and only one class of stock). Depending on the control that you seek to retain in your business, you may want to transition to a full C-Corp, restructure preferred (voting) shares from equity shares, and manage your business governance (Board of Directors, Officers, Resolutions, etc.) in a way big investors will find compelling.

I am hoping to get more information from a lawyer to help me make an informed decision.

An S-corp isn't actually a type of business. Rather, it's a tax election that you make with the IRS, after forming either a C-corporation or an LLC. When you form a C-corporation and then make an S-corp tax election, you will be taxed like a partnership (if there are more than one shareholder) or sole proprietorship (if only you). If you form an LLC (which is already taxed like a partnership or sole proprietorship) and make an S-corp election, you can lower your self-employment taxes. Keep in mind, also, that there are restrictions on the number and kind of shareholders in an S-corp.
