FAQ

How small is too small to incorporate?

Some entrepreneurs at times feel that their business may be too small to incorporate. How small is too small to incorporate? No business is “too small” to incorporate. However, if you work in an industry that is prone to legal disputes, or you have a high net worth that could be jeopardized in a bad business transaction, you may want to consider incorporating your small business.

Where should a business be incorporated?

This depends on the nature of the business. Some states require corporate entities to incorporate within their state if the business conducts a large amount of business within its borders. This is often referred to as “foreign qualification.” If your corporation has a physical presence, generates a significant amount of revenue, and has a significant amount of employees working in another state, the business should register as a corporation in the state where it conducts its business. It is no surprise that more companies have incorporated in Delaware than in any other state. The common misconception is that incorporating in Delaware offers a business added benefits not available in any other state. The following information will show some of the drawbacks of incorporating in another state while conducting business in a different state.

Using California as an example, here are some drawbacks when a California business incorporates in another state:

Extra fees – When a California business incorporates in another state, they incur double filing fees. A corporation is required to pay filing fees to the Secretary of State in which it is transacting business and pay the Secretary of State fees where it is incorporated. If a California business has incorporated in another state, they will still need to register as a foreign corporation in California. In addition, a business will also incur the extra annual fees for a registered agent in the state of incorporation if they do not have a physical location there. These fees are typically several hundred dollars each year.

Extra Franchise Taxes – When a business incorporates in another state such as Delaware, the company will be required to pay annual franchise taxes in both states — the state they are actually doing business in such as California, and the state of incorporation.

Extra Reporting Requirements - If you incorporate in another state, you will have two layers of reporting requirements and will need to comply with the reporting requirements for both states. For example, if you incorporated your company in Delaware, but are physically located in California, your corporation would have to comply with the reporting requirements of both Delaware and California.
