Incorporating a business can be a great way to save money on annual taxes, in addition to the protection it offers you from liability – and if you want your business to have a separate legal identity distinct from you, incorporation is crucial. However, there are some steps you need to take to ensure that the process goes smoothly, and that you meet all legal requirements. Furthermore, it’s especially important that you choose the right type of corporation for your small business.
Understanding Incorporation
Types of Corporations
When you incorporate a business, there are a number of steps you need to take. First and foremost, you must determine which type of legal entity you wish to form:
The Princeton Tiger growls from former Secretary of State George Schultz’s backside, a ship’s anchor decorated the right arm of the UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and a family crest on the chest of President Franklin D. Roosevelt sustained a family tradition. 
I like to think that I’m a pretty fun mom. I regularly plan field trips around town, and I’m totally fine with jumping on the bed.

The current tax system in the United States is based upon the Revenue Act of 1913, which replaced the high tariffs of that period with a personal income tax system. Since that time, there have been numerous amendments affecting the definition of income to be taxed, the rate of taxation, as well as exclusions and deductions from taxable income.
“Debt” is one of the most frightening words in the English language, conjuring up visions of peonage, deprivation, and prison. Caricatures of debt collectors, such as the mafia shark who breaks the legs of delinquent borrowers, or Shylock, the moneylender of the “Merchant of Venice” who required a “pound of flesh” as security on a loan, haunt our dreams and reinforce Benjamin Franklin’s advice that one should “rather go to bed without dinner than to rise in debt.”

I love working out in the morning. Not only is it the best way to start my day, but I don’t have to deal with fixing my hair or makeup at the crack of dawn. Bare-faced and ponytailed is more my style.
