The Basics Explained! How to Incorporate a Company

Delaware Corporation or LLC

This article describes the basics of how to incorporate a company. In truth, thanks to the many specialist online incorporation sites that now exist, the process of incorporating your business is not actually that difficult.

It’s always advisable to seek professional legal advice from a qualified expert before deciding to incorporate your business, to make sure that it is the best path to take. Once you are sure that incorporation is right for you, you need to do the following.

The limited liability company, “LLC”, is a very popular business entity given its ability to shield owners from personal liability for business debts while also providing a flexible tax structure. The entity is also highly prized because it is a cash cow for most state governments. In California, for instance, there is an 0 fee for the “privilege of doing business in California” that is tacked onto every LLC that is created although you do have a few months to actually pay it. While California is a terrible business state, most states add fees in one way or another to the LLC.

To entice the unaware, the states make the LLC the choice de resistance by often requiring only a pre-printed form to be filled out and mailed in. Some people will do this themselves while others will try to find a cheap online service to do it for them. The form is fairly easy to fill out. That is not the problem. The real problem starts

when the forms come back approved from the relevant Secretary of State. Simply put, now what do you do?

One of the most important steps that you should perform with care is choosing the name of your LLC. It’s vital that the name you’ll be selecting is relevant to the business you are opening. You should also check if it is available.

To become an LLC corporation, you should fill out all the essential paperwork and file it accordingly. A business attorney can help you perform this step the right way. While you might pay extra in getting the services of a lawyer, it will be worthy because you’ll be able to accomplish the paperwork accurately.

The vast majority of people get their approved Articles of Organization back from the Secretary of State and then do…nothing. This is a disaster! An LLC that does not have the proper internal documents will be set aside as a sham entity. Not only that, but you may be sued personally for fraud on various contractual agreements. If there is no paperwork establishing that you have the authority to bind the LLC to a contract, you better not be signing them in the name of the business!
