How to incorporate painlessly

Every year thousands of people incorporate a company in the United States, mainly because you can get some really good tax breaks by handling your affairs in this way. In order to do it properly you need to use a formation agent, but before you do you need to bear in mind three points that will help you get the best deal and ensure you're doing things properly.

The first thing to look at is the location of your company. Many people do not know that you do not need to form your company in your own local area, since there are many states in the US which will allow a nonresident director. This can also lead to good tax breaks and is something that is well worthy of consideration.

The next thing to consider is the cost of forming the company. In some jurisdictions cost can be quite expensive, but in other jurisdictions it can be extremely cheap to a incorporate company, and the annual running costs can be extremely low. Take a look at some of the cheaper places because you may find that it gives you exactly what you want.

The main thing to think about, though, is the professionalism of the formation agent. Before you choose one company over another make sure that the company is willing to give you testimonials, and can give you the contact details of people who have used this service. Without doing this you may find that you fall victim to a company who does not incorporate the company in the right way and you will have problems further on down the line.

This is simple three step process, and there is more to it than this, but by following these three points you will avoid some of the pitfalls that can befall people who are forming a company for the first time.
