How to incorporate in Nevada

Feeling unsure about how to form a corporation in Nevada? Fortunately, the process is more straightforward than you might think. Alongside applying for a FEIN and a business license, you’ll need to handle some other particulars. Below is a handy checklist to guide you through incorporating in Nevada step-by-step.

1. Select your corporation type

The first step is to choose a business type that aligns with your business objectives. When choosing a structure in Nevada, entrepreneurs have several options to consider. The primary types of corporations include C Corporations and S Corporations. Both offer different advantages; C Corporations are the most popular choice due to their ability to attract investment through the sale of stock and their unlimited growth potential, while S Corporations provide pass-through taxation benefits, which can be beneficial for certain business structures.

2. Choose a company name

Getting the company name right is essential; you need to choose a name that reflects your brand and business. You’ll need to do a Nevada business name availability search to reserve a name. If your desired business name is already taken, you can officially incorporate under a different name and get a “Doing Business As” name by making a DBA filing. Corporate Creations can assist with both processes to ensure you get the name you want.

3. Get a registered agent

After choosing your company name, you’ll need to hire a registered agent. A legal requirement in Nevada and all other states, registered agents act as the first point of contact for receiving legal documents on your company’s behalf.

4. Appoint an incorporator

Another important figure in the incorporation process is the incorporator. This individual will sign and file the Articles of Incorporation on your behalf. You can appoint anyone to this role such as an attorney. Corporate Creations can also assist you with this.

5. Allot shares

In your Articles of Incorporation, you’ll need to select a share structure and outline:

  • The number of shares you’re issuing
  • The number of shares issued to shareholders
  • Share classes and par value

There is no minimum number of shares you need to issue in Nevada, but you need to ensure that these are accurately recorded in your stock ledger.

6. File Nevada Articles of Incorporation

Nevada corporation FAQs

If you incorporate in Nevada, then you’ll need to file a Statement of Information within the first year of your business incorporation and then yearly after that. You’ll need to provide information such as officer, director and registered agent details. This statement is important so that the state has up-to-date and accurate information about your business on file.

To file a Fictitious Firm Name (FFN) or Doing Business As (DBA) in Nevada, you need to complete a form and submit it to your county clerk's office. Note that not all county clerk offices offer online filing, so you may need to mail or deliver the form in person. Corporate Creations can assist with the specifics of the filing process and ensure it is delivered on time and in the correct manner.

You can obtain a Good Standing Certificate from the Nevada Secretary of State online. Corporate Creations can assist with this process and also manage the online verification of your certificate, helping you save time and expedite the process.

A Nevada corporation search, also known as a business entity search, allows you to look up basic information about businesses registered in Nevada. You can find details such as the business entity’s trading name, registered agent, any reserved names, and business licenses. It's a good idea to run a corporation search if you are registering your business to ensure that the name you want to use is not already taken by another business.
