How to Know Which State to Incorporate Your Business
Some entrepreneurs might be tempted to incorporate their businesses in “incorporation-friendly” states such as Nevada or Delaware, but attorney Mark Kohler says they should think again. Instead, incorporate in the state where you live and where your company does business.
