WHY INCORPORATE?

Protection of Personal Assets
The major reason why individuals choose to incorporate their business is to protect their personal assets, such as a home, car or family savings. In the event of a lawsuit or if your business should fail, your personal assets can not generally be touched. This limited liability feature of corporations is not available in a sole proprietorship or partnership, where the individual or partners are personally liable for all business debts.

Tax Advantages
Corporations and LLCs can take advantage of tax savings options that are not available to sole proprietorships or partnerships. For example, corporations can establish pension, profit-sharing and stock ownership plans, which can lower the corporation's taxable income. Medical, life and disability insurance premiums are also completely tax deductible for corporations. In addition, a corporation can own shares of stock in another corporation and receive 80 percent of the dividends tax-free.

Corporations can raise capital by issuing stock,bonds or other securities.

Corporations and LLCs are the most enduring form of business structure. If a corporation owner dies, their portion of the business can be transferred quickly without interruption of the corporation's operations.

Estate and family planning is simplified since shares of a corporation can be easily distributed to family members.

Corporations and LLCs often experience a greater ease in doing business. Many stores and banks favor corporate accounts and offer discounts.

Some reasons why Delaware is the preferred state for Incorporation

• Corporations and LLCs, large and small, domestic and foreign, choose Delaware for their corporate headquarters, even though few have any sales or manufacturing facilities located in the state.
• Delaware, the second smallest state in the nation, is the home of nearly 60 percent of the companies listed on the New York and American Stock Exchanges and more than half of the Fortune 500 firms.
• It's easy to form a Delaware corporation or LLC by phone, fax or mail. American Incorporators can check and reserve your preferred corporate or LLC name within minutes and form your new Delaware corporation or LLC that same day.
• The cost to incorporate in Delaware is less than in any other state. There is no minimum capital investment required to form a corporation or LLC in Delaware.
• One individual can hold all the corporate offices, including president, treasurer and secretary, in a Delaware corporation. Other states may require different individuals for these offices.
• Delaware corporations have a special "director shield" that shelters directors from personal liability related to their actions as board members. Delaware statutes also limit hostile or abusive takeover tactics.
• Delaware corporations and LLCs can be operated anonymously with the state never knowing the owner's identity. The bylaws of Delaware corporations can be formulated or changed at any time by the directors.
• Delaware is the only state with a special court system dedicated to corporate law. Through the years, the Delaware Chancery Court has built an unsurpassed body of case law that is often cited as precedent in other state courts. The court has a history of pro-management decisions, and often the outcome of legal actions is predictable.
• The corporate headquarters and the records of Delaware corporations can be located in any state or country as long as you maintain a registered agent to represent you in Delaware. Many owners of Delaware corporations have never set foot in Delaware.
• Currently, over 300,000 companies are registered in Delaware, and few of their officers have ever visited the state.
