Nevada Company Overview 

Many CPAs, attorneys and business owners think Nevada provides the best United States domicile to form a new corporation or LLC. And, your business location and operations do not have to be in Nevada to form your company there.

Nevada is extremely "corporate-friendly" and pro-business. It offers some significant advantages that many other states do not offer. And where another state does offer the same type of advantage, it is usually less strongly advantageous to the company or as favorable to the business owners and corporate officers as in Nevada .

Benefits of incorporating in Nevada

The corporate veil is extremely difficult to penetrate so that your personal assets have less exposure in case of a corporate lawsuit.

Your officers and directors can be indemnified by the company so that personal liability of officers and directors can be eliminated

There is no concern about Joint and Several Liability; if you have done nothing wrong, you cannot be held responsible.

You can take advantage of jurisdictional strategies to maximize the protection of your company using Nevada's highly pro-business laws.

Information for non-U.S. Citizens or residents

If you will be doing business in the United States you will need and Employer Identification Number (EIN) for your company. This is necessary even if you have no employees because it is needed for filing your United States tax returns. (Nevada has no corporate income tax but the United States does. You cannot legally escape filing a tax return with the United States government if you are doing business in the United States.)

We can arrange to take the necessary steps to obtain your company's EIN even though you are not a citizen. The process we will use is different than we normally use for company formation so the charge for incorporation including obtaining an EIN for your company is US$1,150.

Because of its unique history of development, doing business in the U.S. means dealing with with numerous levels of government that often seem to be in conflict with one another. Although you are incorporated in Nevada, doing business in any particular city, county or state may require additional permissions. We can assist you in understanding what steps are necessary to expand your business in the U.S. for a retainer fee of just $400 per month or $150 per hour of our staff's time.

Nominee Service

If you do not wish for the name of the owners or officers of the company to appear in the public record our nominee service will ensure that their name does not appear. This special service will require an additional document appointing one of our associates as an officer of your company for the purpose of issuing the Initial List of Officers (or the Annual List

General Information

While Nevada is clearly the most liberal of the state governments of the United States, any company formed in Nevada is subject to the regulations of the U.S. Tax Code. Although Nevada has no reporting agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the company does have an obligation to meet all U.S. Tax Code requirements. Incorporation in Nevada is useful for a reduction in tax exposure but not for its elimination. On the other hand, there are many non-tax related benefits to incorporating in Nevada that has made it one of he most popular jurisdictions in the United States.
