Forming a C Corp in Nevada

One of the best things about forming a C corp is that you don’t always have to form the corporation in the state that you live in. For example, if you live in CA, but plan to do most of your business in Utah you should incorporate your business in Utah. The reason for this is that when you are incorporating a business you need to incorporate it in the state that you will primarily be doing business in, but you can also incorporate the business in your home state or another state.

Many people choose to incorporate their C corp in other states because of the benefits that those other states have to offer. One of the biggest benefits that other states have to offer a C corp is income taxes; some states have higher income tax rates, while other states simply have no income tax at all. Forming a C corp in a state that does not require income tax, means each year your C corp will only have to pay federal taxes. The no income tax benefit of forming a C corp in another state is what draws corporations to the state of Nevada.

Another reason that people choose to form a C corp in the state of Nevada is how business friendly the state of Nevada is. Nevada is the toughest state in the country when it comes to protecting your business. They offer some of the toughest liability and asset protection laws in the country, which is beneficial for businesses because it limits the chances of being sued by unhappy consumers.

The most important step to incorporating your C corp in Nevada is writing and filing your articles of incorporation. If you live out of state and wish to form your C corp in Nevada you will need to have a registered agent that lives in the state of Nevada, the registered agent’s name and address will need t be included in the articles of incorporation.
