Where
Should You Incorporate?
You
can legally incorporate in any state in the union or in
the District of Columbia. However, you must have a registered
agent and registered office in most states in order to maintain
a corporation. You do not necessarily have to incorporate
in the state in which you are physically located. In fact,
some states, for example California, charge very high minimum
taxes on corporations that are organized under their laws.
Sometimes, these fees can be avoided by incorporating in
another state.
Historically,
many companies have incorporated in the state of Delaware.
The reason for this has been that Delaware laws have historically
been very flexible. This is why you see many large, publicly
held corporations having Delaware as their state of incorporation.
Today however, the advantages of incorporating in Delaware
are not as obvious because many other states have liberalized
their incorporation statutes.
Nevada
has also become a haven for incorporation because of its
flexible corporate laws and favorable tax consequences.
For
most small businesses who operate primarily within a single
state, you will likely find it most advantageous to incorporate
in your own state. You must also be aware that if you do
business within your state, your state will require you
to register to do business within your state, even if you
incorporate under the laws of another state. Foreign corporations
that register to do business in the state will be subject
to all of the local taxes and laws, and must pay additional
filing fees to register to do business. Therefore, it will
usually make sense for "local" businesses to incorporate
in their home states.
