In this day and age, incorporating your business online is
a viable option, and definitely an option you should
consider. There are lots of online incorporation services
to choose from, and their services are pretty competitively
priced.
Before you do incorporate online however, there are lots of
decisions that need to be made in advance.
For example, you need to decide on the type of corporation
that best suits your company. In particular this decision
is critical as it will effect how your business is taxed in
the future.
You also need to decide before you start the incorporation
process, the state in which your business is to be
registered in. Will it be your home state for convenience,
or will you take advantage of some of the benefits that
incorporation in states such as Delaware or Nevada provide?
Once these critical decisions have been made (professional
legal and financial advice should always be sought), you
can turn your thoughts to the actual incorporation process.
You could decide to complete the legal forms yourself and
file them with the Secretary of State, or you could place
the process in to the hands of your lawyer.
Alternatively, you could use the services of an online
incorporation company. The online providers will complete
most of the administration for you, but in most cases they
won't provide any legal advice.
Services typically offered by these online companies
include:
- checking of the legal forms
- provision of registered agents in the state you choose to
incorporate your business in
- name availability checks
- filing and delivery of the documentation
So what are the benefits of incorporating online?
Firstly simplicity! You can complete the process sat at
your computer, with online step by step, screen by screen
guidance and advice.
You can literally complete the process in minutes,
regardless of which state you choose to actually
incorporate in. Simply fill in the online forms and hit
the submit button, and let the online provider do the rest.
Most online incorporation services can handle incorporation
in any state and know exactly what information each
individual state requires. They know how long the process
will take by state, the different incorporation fees that
will be charged and the specific details each state needs.
All of this makes the incorporating process easier for you.
Another obvious benefit of incorporating online is money.
It will usually be less expensive to incorporate online.
Online services should be cheaper than hiring agents or
lawyers to process the documentation and forms for you.
Web forms and the automation the internet provides, saves
on administrative overheads.
If your business is relatively small, and it's structure is
straight forward, incorporating online will most likely be
a viable route for you, and will almost always save you
money.
