    There are numerous advantages to incorporating in the State of Nevada. Probably the most compelling reason to choose Nevada is that it imposes no state income taxes or annual financial returns. Also, the Secretary of State only requires minimal annual reporting; which is limited to submitting the name(s) and address(es) of the person(s) holding the position of Officer or Director. (As your Resident Agent we provide assistance to ensure annual compliance.) Additionally, the Nevada Revised Statutes do not impose restrictions on the place, time, or frequency of stockholders or directors meetings. Another important factor when choosing the jurisdiction in which you wish to incorporate is the anonymity protection afforded to the shareholders. Nevada does not require the name(s) and address(es) of the shareholder(s) to be publicly filed.
