Synopsis

Form a corporation in any state, quickly and easily.

Forming a corporation has many advantages, including limiting your personal liability. With the step-by-step instructions in this book, the process is straightforward and easy to accomplish.

Incorporate Your Business clearly explains how to form a corporation in any state. It includes all the sample forms and information you need to prepare articles of incorporation and bylaws. It also fully discusses the advantages and tax consequences of incorporating your business, including:

Limited liability
Business owners limit their personal liability by incorporating, because they aren’t responsible for business debts and court judgments.

Tax advantages
Especially for smaller businesses, the ability to split income between yourself and your corporation can significantly lower your overall tax burden.

Employee perks
Owners of a corporation who also work for it can take advantage of significant financial benefits like equity plans, stock options, corporation-paid insurance, and more.

Incorporate Your Business provides the forms you need, including articles of incorporation, bylaws, minutes, stock certificates and resolutions.

This new edition is revised and updated to cover all changes in state, federal, and tax law.
