What is a corporation?
A corporation is a business entity created by filing formation documents with Nevada, a process also known as incorporation.
​
Just like an LLC, a corporation is a legal entity that is separate from its owners, which can protect you from any business liabilities or debts. However, corporations offer other important benefits, like shareholders and the ability to seek outside investors.

Corporation benefits
There are several advantages of forming a corporation. Incorporating offers liability protection, which means that owners of a corporation are generally not personally responsible for business obligations like debts or lawsuits. Incorporation also allows you to add shareholders and raise money from outside investors.
Corporation requirements
Corporations are typically required to adopt by-laws, hold annual shareholder meetings, issue written corporate resolutions for significant decisions, and file annual reports. Our service allows you to efficiently form your corporation the right way. We also have packages with essential documents and services to meet these corporation requirements and keep you in compliance.
Is a limited liability company a corporation?
A limited liability company is a different type of business entity than a corporation. Each one has unique formation requirements, tax requirements, and ownership structure. Typically, LLCs have more flexible tax requirements and fewer reporting requirements, but corporations make it easier to transfer ownership—shares of stock—and court outside investors.
S corporation vs. C corporation: What's the difference?
S corporation and C corporation designations are both valid choices when incorporating a business—and whichever you choose, we can help make it happen. Before you make your decision, make sure you understand the pros and cons of each.
How to incorporate
1
Choose and reserve a business name
The catchier and more memorable your business name, the more likely it is that consumers will choose you over your competitors. We include a name check with our formation services and can reserve names for you, if possible Nevada.
2
Appoint a registered agent
Nevada requires you to appoint a person or entity as a registered agent (also called an agent for service of process or statutory agent). A registered agent agrees to receive lawsuits, subpoenas, and other official documents on behalf of your business. You can appoint us as your registered agent to make things easier for you.
3
Prepare and file articles of incorporation
Corporations generally must file articles of incorporation. These constitute the charter and legal framework for the business and may contain key information such as the principal location where business will be conducted. When we file these articles for you, it's typically sent to the Secretary of State.
