Before You Incorporate...
Why incorporate?

• To safeguard your personal assets against creditors and lawsuits.Without a corporation or LLC, anyone suing your business is really just suing you personally, putting everything you own (house, cars, bank accounts) at risk of being seized in a judgment. Sole proprietors and general partners in a partnership are personally responsible for all the liabilities of the business, such as loans, accounts payable and potential lawsuits. In a Nevada corporation, however, stockholders, directors and officers typically are not liable for the company's debts and obligations. You can also use a Nevada corporation or LLC to hold your personal assets like a house, car or boat. If you are ever personally involved in a lawsuit or bankruptcy, these assets cannot be seized.
• Ownership in a Nevada corporation or LLC is private and easily transferable to others. Even the state of Nevada does not record your name. In addition, the transfer of ownership is not required to be filed or recorded anywhere.
• Your corporation can fully deduct the cost of paying for your health insurance and other fringe benefits.
• Corporations are taxed at a lower rate than individuals. Also, they can own shares in another corporation and receive corporate dividends 80% tax-free.
• There are no limits on the amount of losses a corporation may carry forward to subsequent tax years. A sole proprietorship, on the other hand, cannot claim a capital loss greater than $3,000 unless the owner has offsetting capital gains.
• Leasing your personally owned property (real estate, automobile, or even a domain name) to a corporation may provide tax savings to many individuals.
• Capital from investors can be raised easily through the sale of stock.
• A Nevada corporation or LLC is capable of continuing indefinitely. Its existence is not affected by the death of shareholders, directors, or officers of the corporation.
• Regardless of your personal credit score, you can build a separate credit history for your Nevada Corporation or LLC simply by applying for and using corporate credit.

Why is Nevada such a popular state for incorporating?

There is no requirement to form your company in the state or country where you live or where your business or property is actually located, so most savvy business people choose the state with the most favorable corporate and tax laws. The following are a few of the reasons Nevada is famous as a corporate haven:

• You can form your Nevada Company without ever going to Nevada by using our services.
• Your Nevada Corporation or LLC may be based, headquartered or operated anywhere in the world.
• One person may be the sole stockholder and director and also hold all of the executive offices of a Nevada corporation including Chairman of the Board, President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary.

• A Nevada director shield law protects you from personal liability in connection with the actions of your company.
• There is an extensive body of laws that protects Nevada companies and lets them focus on doing business, rather than fighting expensive lawsuits.
• Diferent kinds of businesses can be transacted under one corporate roof. Your company can own real estate or personal property anywhere in the world.
• You do not have to be a US citizen to form a regular "C" corporation or Limited Liability Company (LLC). Resident non-citizens may form "S" corporations.
• Unlike some states, there is no minimum investment to form your Nevada Company.

"C" Corp? "S" Corp? What kind of company is right for me?

Review the following to help make your decision:

A Nevada "C" corporation is usually appropriate if:

• There is any chance the owners might want to become an "S" corporation.
• Several individuals or entities will be owners.
• Owners plan to be profitable in the first several years of operation and plan to reinvest profits for growth.
• Owners live in a state with an income tax.

A Nevada "S" corporation is usually appropriate if:

• The company will experience start-up losses during the initial years of operation and the owner has ordinary income against which these losses can be deducted.
• The company is a single owner entity.
• The owner wants to extract most profits instead of reinvesting for growth.
• Company does not expect to issue multiple classes of stock or have more than 100 stockholders.

A Nevada LLC is usually appropriate if:

• The business is a partnership or several different entities own the business.
• The company is used primarily to hold real estate or other income generating assets such as stocks.
• The company has foreign investors.

What is a "C" Corporation?

A "C" corporation, often referred to as a "General Corporation," is simply a regular corporation that pays taxes directly to the IRS. When you order your Nevada Corporation, you receive a "C" corporation. You then have up to 75 days to decide whether you want to turn your "C" corporation into an "S" corporation. Key Elements of a "C" Corporation:

• Three tiers of power: Stockholders, Directors, Officers (Can be the same person)
• No limit to number or type of stockholder.
• Stockholders own the company and elect directors.
• Directors elect the officers.
• Officers run day-to-day operations.
• Minority stockholders are not responsible for the company.
• Can be "S" corporation if all qualifications are met.
• Allows for limited liability of the owners/officers/directors.
• Runs on a fiscal year, which may be designated by the board of directors, rather than on a calendar year.
• Nevada requires no disclosure of corporate owners.
• Profits are taxed at corporate rates on an 1120 return separate from the individual return.
• Profits are not automatically distributed to shareholders and can be kept as retained earnings.
• May deduct cost of fringe benefits to owner-employees.

What is an "S" corporation?

One of the possible drawbacks of a "C" corporation is that if you decide to distribute earnings as profits to shareholders, these profits are taxed twice; once at the corporate level, and again at the individual shareholder level if a dividend is declared. An "S" corporation is just a "C" corporation that has elected with the IRS to allow profits of the corporation to "pass through" to the individual shareholder(s). Therefore, these profits are taxed only once. Keep in mind that you have until 75 days after your company is formed to decide whether to make your "C" corporation an "S" corporation. The key elements of an "S" corporation are:

• Avoids double taxation, like an LLC.
• Profits and losses pass through to the individual tax return 1040. No tax brackets other than the personal tax brackets apply.
• Maintains limited liability protection, just like a "C" corporation.
• Restricted to 100 stockholders or less.
• Stockholders must be US residents.
• Stockholders and directors must be individuals, not business entities.
• Runs on a calendar year.
• "S" corporation profits and losses may be allocated only in proportion to each shareholder's ownership of the business.

What is a limited liability company (LLC)?

An LLC is a combination of a corporation and a partnership which has become extremely popular in recent years. Like a corporation, an LLC has a legal existence separate from its owners; and the owners and managers are not personally liable for the company's debts and obligations. Like a partnership or an S-corporation, an LLC is automatically treated as a pass-through entity for tax purposes. Your LLC does not pay taxes; the LLC's income "passes through" to you personally and you are taxed on an individual basis. Key elements of a Nevada LLC include:

• A creditor of the owner of a Nevada LLC cannot seize the assets of the LLC.
• A single-member Nevada LLC is automatically disregarded as an entity separate from its owner and includes all of its income and expenses on the owner's 1040 tax return.
• A Nevada LLC with two or more members is treated as a partnership.
• There is unmatched contractual flexibility with a Nevada LLC. Nevada law provides rules only on matters on which the members have failed to agree.
• Personal liability is limited for owners and managers to the amount of their investment in the company, just like a corporation.
• Non-U.S. owners of a Nevada LLC with no U.S. source income pay no U.S. taxes whatsoever.

What is a registered agent?

The registered agent is responsible for receiving important legal and tax documents including: notice of litigation (service of process), franchise tax forms and annual report forms. Nevada law requires you to have a registered agent when your Nevada Corporation or Nevada LLC is first formed and throughout the life of your Nevada company. The registered agent's name and address are included on the formation documents. This information is a matter of public record. Your first year's registered agent fees are included in the price to form your company.

Can non-US individuals incorporate in Nevada?

Yes! In fact, almost 25% of our orders come from overseas. Nevada LLCs are extremely popular with our overseas customers because they pay no U.S. taxes. If you want to open a non-U.S. bank account be sure to order a Certified Copy of the certificate of Formation with Apostille when you place your order.

After You Incorporate...

How do I make my Nevada Corporation an "S" corporation?

Once you order your Nevada Corporation and decide you want to benefit from pass-through taxation by electing "S" status, you need to submit IRS form 2553. You have up to 75 days after the corporation is formed to make this election.

How is a Nevada Corporation Managed?

A Nevada corporation has three tiers of power, the Stockholders, the Directors, and the Officers. Each of these groups has different rights. NOTE: If you are a one person corporation, you will be the sole stockholder, director and officer, fulfilling all three of the following roles:

Stockholders own the company, but don't necessarily manage the company. Typically, stockholders have one vote for each share they own to elect members of the Board of Directors and to vote on certain other matters of major significance to the company.

The Directors take responsibility for the overall direction of the company. They control the issuance of stock, election of officers and hiring of key management, establishment of corporate policies, and the setting of their own and key officers' compensation.

The Officers work for the Board of Directors and handle the day-to-day business of the company. Officers carry out the Board's decisions and implement the Board's policy. Officers are usually the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. However, the Board may appoint other officers as they see fit, such as a CEO.

How is a Nevada LLC Managed?

The management of a Nevada LLC is based on an agreement between its owners, who are known as members. A Nevada LLC allows a customized management structure, which dictates the economic relationship among owners. While Nevada law permits a Nevada LLC to be managed by its members, it does not require members to be managers. The Nevada LLC statute allows parties to define their business relationship in the written agreement however they wish. This is called "freedom of contract". Nevada law provides rules only for those matters on which the parties have failed to agree. The contractual flexibility offered by the Nevada Act is unmatched by any other LLC statute. For example, unlike a corporation, an LLC can distribute profits in any manner described in the LLC agreement, regardless of ownership share.

Where do I get stock/membership certificates?

Our Nevada Company Kit, which is included with your incorporation, includes 20 custom numbered stock or membership certificates for your new company.

How much stock do I need?

Because your company's filing fee and Annual List Fee is based on your number of shares, we form all corporations with 75,000 shares. This is the amount of stock you automatically receive when you order your Nevada Corporation from APGI. Later, you can increase the number of shares.

Do I need a federal tax ID number (EIN number)?

If you plan on having employees or opening a US Bank Account, the answer is yes.

When do I pay my Annual List Fee and registered agent fee?

For both corporations and LLCs, the $400.00 annual maintenance fee is due on or before the last day of the month after your company's incorporation. Your first year's annual registered agent fee is included in the price when you order your Nevada Company. It is due again one year later at the end of your company's anniversary month (the month your company was formed) and is included in the annual fee.

Do I need to be registered as "doing business" in my home state or country?

Your Nevada company is a domestic company in the State of Nevada. It is a foreign company in every other state or country. If you plan to staff offices with employees to conduct business directly with the public, it may be wise to register in your state. This is generally not necessary if you are a consultant, a one or two person or home-based business, sell through independent distributors, manufacturer's representatives, wholesalers, retailers or through mail order or the internet. More information on what constitutes "doing business" can usually be found at the Secretary of State's office in each state. If you decide to register with your home state, be advised that most states will require a Certificate of Good Standing from the Nevada Secretary of State. You can order this certificate online when you purchase your incorporation package or separately later, if you find that you need it.

Includes Nevada's one-time filing fee, our one-time service fee, and one year of registered agent service.
