Where to incorporate my business?

Which is the best state to register a business?

First considerations after a new business decides to incorporate is where to incorporate. For most businesses, incorporate in the state where the corporation will do most of its business. This rule holds especially true for smaller businesses that will likely not expand significantly, or that do not want to conducting business outside of their home state. So, incorporating in your business's home state is usually the safest to start your new business. Then if, after your corporation has been up and running for some time, it appears that you may need to conduct business in another state, you can always register in another state as a foreign corporation also known as "Foreign Entity"

Each state has its own legal requirements and registration procedures for new businesses wishing to incorporate. Certain states are well known as favorable homes for corporations or forming an LLC, due to their unique incorporation laws and favorable tax policies.

Most popular states to incorporate your business are:

View Detail Reply : infotaxsquare.com Answer is NO; incorporate structure should be based on shipping. For example if you have go-down and shipping goods to your customers from the State of Alaska then you must incorporate in the state of Alaska. Why people incorporate other than there Home State? It may be a right approach in some cases but not all. Like in certain states personal information are not available for general public. It gives you identity protection and secondly is flexible for non USA residents who are operating businesses from their vicinity. So, we suggest you to consider all phases before deciding incorporating your business other than home state. It may or may not be a good idea depends on your approach. Conclusion: Technically it may not be productive or a right approach for small businesses to incorporate outside of their home state as even small businesses are usually required to: pay corporate taxes in both the state of foreign operation and the state of incorporation. You will pay and file annual or Franchise Tax Reports with both states Unnecessary registered agent fees every year to maintain business in good standing Complying laws for both states and you have to realize that the tax structure is being complicated every day. If you have pass-through entities like LLC (Limited Liability Company) or an S-corporation you are required to pay taxes on personal level and you will pay taxes based on your residency and it will make your yearly filing more complicated. Filing state non-resident and resident state returns. Most professionals advised to keep more controlled in your business “incorporate where you are physically located or conducting business”.
