Where to Incorporate

Most businesses incorporate or form an LLC in the state in which they primarily operate. Advantages of choosing your home state include:

  • Typically the least complicated option
  • Usually costs less than incorporating in a different state and registering with your home state
  • Avoids paying franchise taxes and filing annual reports in more than one state

Many companies conduct business throughout the U.S. and abroad. A corporation or LLC with business locations in multiple states may incorporate in a single state and then register to do business in the additional states. This means that companies must formally register, file annual reports, and pay annual fees to conduct business in multiple states.
