The small business owner’s comprehensive guide to incorporation

Many small business owners struggle with the idea of incorporation; they want the benefits, but without all the hassles and paperwork. But incorporation for small businesses isn’t as complicated as it might seem. Depending on your type of business, its location, and other variables, incorporation is often both good for your business and easy to set up. This book answers all your questions on incorporation and offers proven guidance on getting it done quickly, cheaply, and correctly.

Although it varies from business to business and state to state, most small businesses gain two significant benefits from incorporation–it limits the liability of the business’s shareholders and can lower its tax bill. But incorporation isn’t always right for every small business. With real-world examples, charts, and tables, this handy guide will help you calculate the benefits of incorporation for your business–before you decide to take the leap. For small business owners, Incorporate Your Business covers all the fundamentals, including:

• Overall benefits of incorporation
• Tax changes under incorporation
• Various types of corporations
• Completing all the paperwork correctly
• Setting up a corporate structure
• Electing officers and setting up the board
• Holding important organizational meetings

Full of expert advice and helpful resources, Incorporate Your Business offers small business owners a comprehensive and trustworthy introduction to the ins and outs of incorporation.
