Pasos de constitución

  1. 1

    Choose a state of incorporation

    Same day

    Delaware and Wyoming are popular for favorable legal frameworks; your home state is often simpler.

  2. 2

    Pick and reserve a company name

    Same day

    Check availability on the Secretary of State website. Names must include a structure suffix (LLC, Inc.).

  3. 3

    Appoint a registered agent

    1 day

    Every state requires a registered agent with a physical address in that state.

  4. 4

    File formation documents

    1–5 business days

    Articles of Organization (LLC) or Articles of Incorporation (Corp) filed with the Secretary of State.

  5. 5

    Get an EIN from the IRS

    Same day online

    Federal tax ID — required to open a bank account and hire employees. Free online if you have an SSN/ITIN.

  6. 6

    Open a business bank account

    1–3 business days

    Keep personal and business finances separate — required to preserve liability protection.

Documentos necesarios

  • Articles of Organization / Incorporation
  • Operating Agreement (LLC) or Bylaws (Corp)
  • EIN confirmation letter from the IRS
  • Registered agent designation
  • State business license (varies by state and industry)

Nociones fiscales

Tipo del impuesto de sociedades
21% federal (C-Corp); LLC/S-Corp pass through to owners
IVA / impuesto sobre ventas
Varies by state (0% – 10%+); no federal VAT
Umbral de registro
Varies by state — many require registration once you have 'economic nexus' (e.g. $100K revenue or 200 transactions)
Periodicidad de declaración
Federal: annual; state sales tax: monthly or quarterly depending on volume

Errores habituales

Not keeping personal and business finances separate — this can pierce the corporate veil and eliminate liability protection.

Forgetting annual state filings and franchise taxes — Delaware's minimum franchise tax is USD 300/year.

Choosing C-Corp when an LLC would suffice — C-Corps face double taxation (corporate + dividend).

Missing multi-state sales tax obligations — 'economic nexus' rules trigger collection duties in many states even without a physical presence.
