what rules do I have to follow if I incorporate in Nevada?  After the
Nevada Incorporating, how do I do business with other states such as
Tennessee, Virginia, or Wyoming?

Hello, Mollerup. 

For an understanding of some of the basic requirements for
incorporating, visit Nolo.com. The article "How To Form a Corporation"
lists the general steps necessary to organize a business entity.  Most
of these apply to starting a Nevada corporation.

Generally, to incorporate your business, you'll need to: 

1. Choose an available business name that complies with your state's 
corporation rules. 

2. Appoint the initial directors of your corporation. 

3. File with the appropriate state regulator (typically the Secretary
of State) the formal paperwork, usually called "articles of
incorporation," and pay a filing fee that ranges from $100 to $800,
depending on the state where you incorporate.

4. Draft and adopt corporate "bylaws," which lay out the operating
rules for
your corporation. 

5. Hold the first (often called the "organizational) meeting of the
board of directors to ratify the articles of incorporation, adopt the
bylaws, appoint officers and the like.

6. Issue stock certificates to the initial owners (shareholders) of
the corporation.

7. Obtain licenses and permits that may be required for your business
in the state(s) in which you intend to operate.

For Nevada specifics, visit the Nevada Secretary of State site. Its

information, including forms, name search capabilities, fee schedules,
uniform commercial code (UCC) information, and links to revised

Corporations are subject to regulation in the state in which they are
organized, in this case Nevada, and those states in which they do
business.

Just what constitutes "doing business" depends on the facts and
circumstances of the particular case.  For example, if your salesman
just "passes through" a state, making an isolated sales call, the
business corporation laws of that state may well not apply.  On the
other hand, if you lease space in a state, establish employees there
and sell to customers there, you'll need to comply with the state's
business laws.

Mollerup,

The best example I can give is my Delaware Corporation that I set up 4
years ago.  I used a registered agent in Delaware. The registered
agent acts as my a local contact point in the state of Delaware. They
forward all required Delaware forms and reports needed each year. I
would assume setting up a Nevada Corporation would be the same. As for
doing business in other states with a Delaware or Nevada corportion,
you just need to obtain a business license from each state if you plan
on have a physical presence in each state, if not just get a business
license from your present state and comply with your states business
practices.

When doing business in states other than the one in which your
business is incorporated you may also be required to retain registered
agents in those states when registering.

incorporating in Nevada is the easy part.  Registering as a foreign
corporation within the state you are doing business becomes a bit more
complex.  In order to operate a business in your state (if other than
Nevada) you will need to qualify for foreign corporation registration.
 Once that is done, you need to know how to avoid piercing the
corporate veil.  You can get help with the requirements from
