Incorporating Your Business

Incorporating is essential to the success of any business. The process of incorporating entails the preparation of certain documents, including a document referred to as the "Articles of Incorporation," and filing the documents with the Secretary of State. (For an LLC, the main document used to incorporate is referred to as the “Articles of Organization.”)

Below is an explanation of why it is necessary for every business to incorporate. The primary advantages of incorporation are discussed, as are the risks involved in operating an unincorporated business.

Shield yourself from liability:

The most important reason to incorporate your business is to protect yourself from business liabilities. If you are operating an unincorporated business, its creditors may be able to reach your personal assets. Assets such as your personal residence and personal bank account can be used to pay business debts or to satisfy a lawsuit against your business. If you incorporate, business creditors cannot reach your personal assets, as an incorporated business and its owners are separate entities.

Establish perpetual existence and transfer of ownership:

Perpetual existence is an advantageous aspect of an incorporated business. Perpetual existence means that the life and continuation of the business will not be affected by the withdrawal or death of one of the owners. An unincorporated business's existence, as well as its operation, is generally disrupted by the withdrawal or death of one of the owners. Subtract this risk from your business by incorporating.

Similarly, the ownership interest in an unincorporated business may be very difficult to transfer. If the business is incorporated the shareholders can easily transfer their interest by sale or gift.

Gain tax advantages:

If you incorporate your business, there are tax deductions for a wide variety of operating costs which will substantially cut back your company's overall tax liability.

Federal Trademark Registration

Registering a Trademark puts the world on notice that you are using the mark, that it is your mark, and that no one else can use it. It also generates an indisputable record of your use, which is vital in defending your rights if another business were to come along at a later date and use the mark in violation of your rights. Trademarks should be registered by businesses that use the mark in interstate commerce, or plan on using the mark in interstate commerce.
Furthermore, registering a trademark will give your trade name and brand names more credibility with the public and with other business you deal with.

Federal Trademark Search and Protection

A Trademark is one of the most valuable assets of any business. A Trademark is a word, name, symbol, design, phrase or sound that identifies a business organization, or its products or services, and distinguishes it from other business organizations. In other words, a Trademark is how potential customers recognize your business and set you apart from your competitors. 
A Business must be extremely careful in choosing the names associated with it, as it can be exorbitantly expensive to change names midstream. As thousands of businesses have learned, the result can be devastating in terms of lost business.

Small Business Credit

If you have to accumulate charges on plastic to launch or build your business, be sure to be using the very best credit cards available so that you get money back and earn rewards.  Approximately one-third of small-business owners use credit-cards for financing, according to the most recent National Small Business Association access to capital report. If you are looking to finance a larger purchase on a credit card, having an extended period of time where you don’t accrue interest is critical.
