One of the main factors in
the decision to expand your business into the
US market is the amount of capital that is
required to incorporate a US business. The
answer to that question is complex and depends
on the preferred State of
incorporation. The United States of America
includes 50 States and the District of Columbia.
Each of the 50 States has its own incorporation
law that determines the incorporation or
business formation requirements, among them the
amount of required capital.
Delaware - The Most
Popular Incorporation State.
According to the Delaware Secretary of State
Website, more than 850,000 business entities
have their legal home in Delaware including more
than 50% of all US publicly-traded companies
and 63% of the Fortune 500.
Businesses entities of all types select Delaware
for the State flexible corporate laws,
highly-respected Court of Chancery and
business-friendly State Government. One of the
best features of a Delaware Corporation or a
Delaware LLC is that No minimum capital is
required to form a either of the entities. This
means that other than you can incorporate your
Delaware company or form your Delaware LLC with
a minimal amount.
Nevada, a favorable
States to Many Small Businesses.
Nevada
earned its popularity with many businesses due
to tested corporate laws, highest degree of
privacy, the fact that it is the only state in
the US that does not share information with
the Internal Revenue Service Lastly, and finally
Nevada has no state corporate taxes. Same as in
Delaware No minimum capital is required in
Nevada to Incorporate a Business or form a
Limited Liability Company.
If your US business will have a physical
presence in any US state you should seriously
consider incorporating in that state. Otherwise,
if you incorporate in another state, you will
have to register that company in the state where
you have the physical presence as a Foreign
Corporation or a Foreign LLC. This means that
you may have to register your US business in
states other than Delaware or Nevada. As
previously explained, each state has different
corporate laws, thus each state has different
requirement for minimum capital to form your
US US company, US LLC, Delaware Company or
Delaware LLC. To make sure you understand the
amount needed in the state of your choice please
