Steps Necessary 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.

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.

No company can be run well without leadership, and in order to properly incorporate, you must hire your leadership. These managers or directors must be at least 18 years of age to be named as management on your paperwork. They do not have to reside in Nevada though, so they can be located anywhere.

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.

Once the paperwork is filed, you must begin securing all your necessary permits and licenses. Depending on what city you are planning to locate the company, there may be several licenses or permits that are needed, as well as regulatory rules that must be met.

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.

Now you can finally begin conducting business once your licenses come through. Of course, you must still file an annual report and pay the fees associated with it. In addition, there is an annual licensing fee that must be paid. An LLC pays $150 for the list filing and $200 for each yearly license renewal. Corporations are a little different and must pay $150 per year for the list filing, but $500 per annum for the license.

One more thing to remember before you open for business is that there are realtors who can help you find a physical location to open. Your annual filing must include your company's physical address and phone number, and a realtor can help you find that address. Even though your directors don't have to work there, you will need local employees to do so.
