How to Incorporate a Company

. If you are thinking of starting your own business or if you are ready to take your home-based business to the next level, this would be a good time to consider incorporating. There are several levels of incorporation that involve different aspects of control, liability and tax issues. Each has its upsides and downsides. However, how do you decide which type of company is right for you and your business? We can help you make the right decision about incorporating your business. We have the tips you need and a simple breakdown of different types of companies you might consider for your business.

Incorporating is one of the best ways a business owner can protect his or her personal assets. Most people choose to incorporate solely for this reason, but there are other advantages as well. For example, the corporate business structure allows you to save money in taxes, provides greater business flexibility and lets you more easily raise capital. Having completed your business registration, we can refer a bookkeeper and accountant who will put your new company or limited liability partnership in financial order and on the road to success.

The legal concept of incorporation is recognised all over the world. In the United States, corporations are identified by the term "incorporated" added after the business name, such as "ABC, Incorporated", or by putting the word corporation in the name of the company, as in "ABC Corporation". In Germany, Austria and Switzerland the GmbH ("limited liability business association"), as well as the AG ("stock market traded business association") are the most common comparable concepts. In the United Kingdom the titles Ltd. (abbreviation for limited company) or plc (abbreviation for public limited company) are used for corporations. In France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Romania and South America the title S.A. is used for corporations. Norway uses the title AS for stock corporations (Norwegian: Aksje Selskap), while Sweden uses the similar AB (Swedish: aktiebolag). Italy uses Srl, or "Società a Responsabilità Limitata" (limited liability company) and SpA or "Società Per Azioni" (stock corporation). The Netherlands uses NV.
