Book Description

Incorporate Your Business June 8, 2009
Set up a corporation, skip the lawyer, save money!

Incorporate Your Business lays out everything you need to know about corporate laws and regulations in your state, clearly explaining:

  • why and when to incorporate
  • what you need to know about corporate taxation
  • whether to elect S corporation tax status
  • how to incorporate an existing business

    Plus, you can save thousands of dollars in attorneys' fees by incorporating a business yourself -- Incorporate Your Business guides you through each step. In the end, your business will enjoy a number of advantages, including:

    Limited Liability
    Incorporating your business limits personal liability for business debts -- this means owners are not normally financially liable for business debts and court judgments.

    Tax Advantages
    You can split business income between yourself and your corporation, thereby lowering income taxes.

    Access to Capital
    Corporations have better access to private venture capital than any other type of business. They are also well positioned to raise capital by selling shares to the public.

    Employee Perks
    The owners of a corporation who work for the business are treated as employees. They can take advantage of tax-deductible, corporate-paid benefits such as:

  • pension plans
  • stock-option and stock bonus plans
  • medical expense reimbursement
  • term life insurance coverage
  • and more

    Incorporate Your Business provides the forms you need as tear-outs and on CD-ROM, including articles of incorporation, bylaws, minutes, stock certificates and resolutions.

    The 5th edition provides the latest federal laws, plus the current laws, rules and procedures of your state. (20080202)

    5.0 out of 5 stars 7 Steps to Incorporate, January 3, 2006
    I looked at several books and found this one by Nolo to be COMPLETE, SUPERB, EASY TO FOLLOW. It explains benefits of incorporating then lead you through very clear step-by-step instructions. CD provides samples, save you from typing and there's explicit instructions fro each state. I incorporated in MA successfully using this guide. The author(attorney) has written many related books in similar clear step-by-step fashion. Thank you so much. I couldn't have had the guts to incorporate without this book and it turned out to be so easy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars would recommend to others, December 19, 2007
    I purchased this book even though I incorporated already. I wanted to review some items and also assist my father in law with possible incorporation. He read some of it and commented that it was a good text - clear and informative. I also found the text to be clear, informative and exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend this text to others, I would be interested to see what additional information is in the updated 4th edition.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for!, June 13, 2008

    (REAL NAME)   
    Very easy to read and understand.
    I wasn't sure if I should attempt to set up our new corporation myself or have an attorney do it so I decided to get this book and see how difficult it really was. I ended up doing it myself and saving several hundred dollars in attorney fees. It was not difficult at all.
    It comes with a CD that has all the templates needed for bylaws and other start up forms. I highly recommend this book.
