Incorporating a Company on a Shoestring

June 25th, 2006

If you’re a small business owner, you may have considered at one time or another whether to incorporate your business or not. Sure, you’re tempted by the tax advantages and risk protection that incorporating a company brings, but the costs of a traditional incorporation with an attorney can be prohibitive.

Well, times have changed, small business owner! It’s time you re-consider incorporating your business because the Internet has made the whole incorporation process a lot simpler and a lot cheaper.

For instance, many online sites now offer sample articles of incorporation forms or templates for a nominal fee. Simply go to your favorite search engine and search for “incorporation template,” “incorporation form,” or “sample articles of incorporation.” You’ll find a number of choices with prices ranging from free for a sample “articles of incorporation” to $50 for a customizeable template. Although the price may be right, be advised that this satisfies just one part of the process when incorporating your business. For instance, it doesn’t address filing fees (how much and where to file), franchise fees, whether you need a business license, how your state treats foreign corporations, etc.

Alternatively, once you decide in what state to incorporate, all you need to do is visit the Secretary of State section of that state’s government website. Most of these websites have sections called Corporate Bureau, Corporation Commission, Bureau of Corporations, or something similar. There you’ll find the forms you need for incorporating your business along with complete instructions on what’s needed to incorporate in their state. And many states now offer online incorporation! What’s easier than that?

Incorporate a Company: Why Do It?

May 10th, 2006

Corporations have become the standard for many businesses in today’s business environment. Not only can they provide peace of mind by protecting your personal assets, they also help you reduce your personal tax burden.

Before corporations existed, investors in a business risked everything if it proved unsuccessful. If a company lost money and couldn’t pay its creditors, the owners had to make up the difference with their own money. With the creation of the corporation, that has all changed. Your personal property and possessions are now protected from creditors and lawsuits. Plus, any officers in your corporation (including you) are only responsible for the amount of money that they invest into the corporation. What’s more, if you are going through some kind of personal litigation, your corporate assets are secured, other than your personal shares in the organization.

Equally as important as the personal asset protection is the significant tax advantages owners get when they incorporate their business. If you are a business owner, even if it is a small one, you want it to be successful. You know it takes hard work to make a business profitable so you want every possible advantage you can get to ensure the success of your business. For instance, incorporating a small business allows you to structure your business to take advantage of your business income and the lower tax rate of corporations (as compared to a higher personal income tax rate). Plus, there are many deductibles that you just don’t get when you have a sole proprietorship or partnership. And even though we try to avoid them, business losses do occur. However, as a corporation you are entitled to an unlimited about of business losses with no cutoff point on the loss amount that can be carried into succeeding tax years. This is not the case for other business structures.
