Nevada is a VERY pro business state where they also valued privacy. Corporate officers can be “nominee” officers and shareholders can also be anonymous as well (stock can even be issued as “Bearer stock”) - what this creates is a certain level of difficulty as to finding out WHO owns what without a lot of expensive digging.
However most states have requirments for “foriegn” (a no New Jersey Corp.) to register to do business in their state.
Another place for lots of detailed stuff on Nevada an off shore corporations is:
A friend of mine asked me some questions which are out of my
field. He does business primarily in NJ (large scale property due diligence for institutional investors) and once in a while buys distressed property. He wants to start doing everything under a corporate name and was advised to incorporate in Nevada for tax purposes. Someone else told him he needs to register in NJ as some kind of foreign entity. I know nothing about this stuff, does anyone else?
Thanks for any help.
