How To Incorporate In Nevada

By Edward Cooper


Many people dream of one day being able to open a business, or perhaps expand the one they already have. There are a lot of big decisions that you need to make before taking the plunge. Arguably the most important of these decisions is where to incorporate. There are a lot of economists that will tell you to incorporate in Nevada in order to maximize your profits for a variety of reasons.

The state of Nevada has many laws on the books that are helpful for business owners, no matter what industry your company happens to be in. First, they have no tax rate on corporate shares or income. Second, there is no franchise or equity transfer penalties to pay. Finally, with no state income tax, you can attract top talent to your firm since their dollar goes further.

In order to get your company incorporated properly and legally, you must take several steps. The very first one is to name your company. That may sound easy, but you want to make sure that you do an online check to make sure that name is not taken. Before that, make sure the name is attractive and reflects what your company really does, so that it is easier for you to attract potential customers.

Then, you must recruit your staff, particularly your managers if you are building an LLC or directors if you are starting a corporation. You must, by law, have at least one direct who is 18 years of age or higher. They do not have to be Nevada residents, which lets you cast a a much longer line for talent.

Once the management is ensconced, you can put their names on your paperwork and file it with the state. If you are a corporation, you file Articles of Incorporation, while an LLC would file Articles or Organization. Both sets of paperwork go to the Secretary of State.

Each city has particular permits and licenses that you may need to procure. Now is the time to do that, after the paperwork has been filed. There may also be other laws and regulations that need to be followed at all times, so be cognizant of that as well.

Nevada requires that you show proof that you are keeping business funds separate from personal ones, which is why you must start a separate corporate bank account. Proof of this separate account must be furnished upon request.

Once you receive your license from the state and any local permits, you can finally begin working. However, the law does require that you renew your paperwork and permit each year and file an annual report, both of which will cost you some money. Corporations pay $500 per year for the business license and $150 for the report filing. LLCs must pay only $200 for the license, and $200 for licensing.

Though your managers or directors do not have to reside in the state, you do need to have an actual physical location and some employees who do call Nevada home who work there. An address and phone number within the state boundaries is a must, so you should find a realtor to help you scout locations so you can put the final touch on your official incorporation.
