How To Incorporate In Nevada

By Edward Cooper


Starting your own business is a dream come true for anyone who has the opportunity to do so. It takes a lot of planning and hard work to get the company off the ground. Lots of decisions need to be made, including where to legally register and incorporate your business. Nevada has laws on the book that make it easy to incorporate in Nevada, so this is a route you should seriously consider taking.

Nevada is a beacon for many people to incorporate there, and for good reason. First, the laws and regulations surrounding taxes are very favorable for business owners. Not only is there no franchise or equity tax, but there is also none on corporate incomes and shares. In addition, there is no state income tax, which makes workers want to flock to the state.

There are several steps you must take in order to formally incorporate your business in Nevada. The first sounds like the simplest and easiest, but should still be done with a lot of thought and reverance. The first step is to name your company. In order to be sure there is no other business with the same name, you can conduct a name check online to ensure your new moniker is unique.

Before the company can take flight, you will need to install a staff. In particular, the state wants you to find your director or managers. They must all be at least 18 years of age and do not have to actually reside in Nevada, so your leadership can be in other states or even countries if that is what works for you.

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.

The state of Nevada is not the only entity with rules and laws on the books regarding running a business. Depending on what city or county you are setting up in, there may be other regulations, licenses and permits that you must get to start your business.

You must also have proof that you have opened a bank account specifically for the business. State laws say that you must keep personal funds and business funds completely separate, so make sure you take this very important step.

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.

As previously mentioned, the directors or managers do not have to reside in Nevada. However, you must have staff who do reside there, which means that you do need a physical office or storefront location along with a working phone number. You can find a realtor to help you find the best location, then make sure you list it on your annual report.
