Sadly, there is no simple answer to this question. While some states offer incentives for businesses to incorporate within their borders, extra fees and paperwork could overshadow those benefits. Below is some information to help you make an educated decision about which state you should form your company in.
If you have a physical business, as in an office space or building with employees, and your customers primarily come from the community you are located, then you are probably going to want to simply incorporate in your home state. Whenever a company does business within a single state, it has to register with the state government, which means paying the necessary taxes and filling out paperwork. Of course, if it is worth it, you can incorporate within another state and register as a foreign company in your home state. It really is all a matter of determining how much money and time you stand to save, and if it is worth the extra hassle.
Remember that you will have to pay fees to conduct business as a foreign entity, so if your business is smaller, it could end up costing you quite a bit of money. The IRS, when tax time comes, also looks to where you do business, not where you are incorporated, and if they feel you are trying to avoid taxes, you could be hit with tax penalties. But a neat part of incorporating is that you are, in fact, creating a legal entity entirely separate from yourself. So that entity can move and live wherever it wants depending on what is best for it.
Typically, online businesses choose to incorporate in states that are deemed as „Tax Havens;“ Delaware is one of the most commonly chosen ones. This is because online businesses do not do business in just one area, and often try to sell to customers in a variety of states. Interstate taxation is limited, which is good for your customers, but all of the taxes associated with a corporation still have to be paid at the rate established by the state in which the company was incorporated within. So incorporating in a state where these taxes are low, or non-existent, makes quite a bite of sense as it saves you money, which is always a good thing. Determine who your target consumer is, and if you will be selling your product to people outside of your incorporation site. Whatever your eventual choice, be sure to do your research and consider all of your options. You will need to have either a physical presence or a registered agent in whichever state you choose to incorporate within, and should also be aware of any expenses or fees you will have to pay. Be sure to visit the state“s website, and look around the secretary of state“s page; it will help you in becoming familiar with all of the requirements and laws applicable to businesses operating in that state“s borders. An incorporation service can also be a big help in this process, as they likely know the ins and outs of creating a corporate entity in another state. The best course of action is always to consult with a professional and seek recommendations from them as well.
