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.

After you have hired your management staff, you can file your paperwork with the Secretary of State to get incorporated. The LLCs file what are called Articles of Organization and a corporation should file what are called Articles of Incorporation.

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.

The next step in your journey is to go and open a business bank account and fund it. The reason is that state laws say you must keep your personal money and company funds separate from each other, and must provide proof that you did so.

Once all this is done, you can begin conducting business. However, each year you are required to file an annual report with the state. You must also renew your license each year, which does come with a fee. If you are a corporation, then the cost is $150 per year for filing the annual list and $500 for your license. If you are an LLC, then the cost is $150 for the annual list filing and $200 for the license renewal.

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.
