what is the best state to form an llc in watch this video and find out hey i'm quran from life accounting the number one firm for financial education do me a favor go ahead and like this video for me so others can find it on youtube and subscribe for the best financial content you can find okay let's jump right into it to truly answer the question what is the best day to form an llc we actually need to answer two questions the first question is literally what is the best state to form an llc in but the second question is what is the best state for you to form an llc you'd be surprised that those are two different questions that actually have two different answers let's talk about it starting with the first question what is the best state to form an llc well there are three places in the united states that are known to be the best state to form an llc in and all three have their own appeal starting with the first and most popular choice delaware and for good reason delaware has very low registration fees and franchise taxes also delaware does not tax out-of-state income meaning delaware llcs who do no business in delaware or a non-significant amount of business in delaware can see enormous tax savings delaware also has something called a chancery court you see a chancery court is a court that only handles business cases so business disputes are handled much quicker than other parts of the country and the judges are extremely knowledgeable about business law i mean that's all they do making delaware one of the most business friendly states for llcs now the second best state to form an llc in is nevada yes home to viva las vegas nevada has no state income taxes no taxes on business profits no corporate taxes no taxes on capital gains and no franchise taxes additionally unlike some states nevada does not require llcs to hold annual meetings or have an operating agreement to remain compliant though i fully recommend that you have an operating agreement for your llc even if your state does not require it now nevada also bakes privacy into their llc benefit as they don't require you to disclose the owner of the llc when forming one and does not share formal information with the irs making nevada a great place to have privacy as an llc but an even better place to save on taxes as an individual and llc business owner but if your main goal is privacy the best place to form an llc is actually number three on the list and that's wyoming yup wyoming is quickly becoming more and more popular as people think about asset protection so what makes wyoming so great for privacy and asset protection well wyoming is the only state that allows for what is known as a lifetime proxy which allows you to control the llc through someone else who owns a membership interest meaning the managers and the members of the llc do not have to disclose who they are but can still control the llc additionally wyoming is one of the few states that offer liability protection for single member llcs and as a little cherry on top for wyoming llcs wyoming also has no business income or franchise taxes by the way while we're talking about starting at llc be sure to check out our free training where we show you how to start a six figure business with only 250 i've done it and i'm happy to show you how to do it as well and that free training link in the description okay back to the video so now that you know the three best places to form an llc let's answer the second question where exactly should you form your llc and the answer is actually quite simple for most people you should form your llc where you live aka your home state now there are three exceptions that i'll go over in just a second but once again for most people you should form your llc where you live so quran you're telling me i shouldn't form my llc in nevada delaware or wyoming if i don't live there yep that's exactly what i'm saying for example if you live in california i know the registration fees are simply outrageous but you should form your llc in california here's why if you register your llc outside of your home state but still meet the qualifications for doing business in your home state well you will have to register as a foreign llc in your home state meaning you will have to register in both states so not only will you pay registration fees in both states you may also have to pay annual reporting fees in both states and maintain both llc's which can get quite expensive and if you form your llc in another state to take advantage of low or non-existent business taxes well think again because you pay taxes where you conduct business and not where your llc is formed meaning if you do not conduct business in a state where you formed your business you will simply end up paying taxes based on your home state's laws this concept applies to online businesses as well so when does it make sense to form an llc in another state if you don't live there well here are the three scenarios where it makes sense if you want to remain anonymous you will want to form an llc in wyoming or nevada and have the wyoming or nevada llc own the llc that is registered in your home state once again in those two places you do not have to disclose who owns the llc now if you're in real estate you want to form an llc where the investment is located as all business for the property will be conducted in that state and lastly if you are not a us resident but own a business in the united states you should likely form an llc in wyoming as it has the most foreigner friendly laws well there you have it the best day to form an llc if you found this video helpful do me a favor and hit that like button for me it helps others to find this video on youtube

state to form an llc for your real estate business there are real estate deals going up in the real estate market every single day some of those real estate properties some of those real estate deals may be in the state that you live in or they may be an estate that you don't live in before i answer the question which state is best to form an llc for a real estate business it's important to note that if you fail to form an llc in the correct state you may be liable for additional and extra expenses and fees fees that you could have avoided if you initially formed the llc in the correct state so which state should you form an llc for your real estate business the answer is the state that you live in the state where the real estate is located for example if you live in california but you purchase real estate property in florida then you're going to want to form a florida llc if you live in california and you purchase real estate in new york you're going to want to form a new york llc while it is true that you can form an llc in any state you have to keep in mind that if you decide to do that you must notify the proper authorities if you live in california but you purchase property in florida when you form that florida llc it is very important for you to take the additional step of doing a foreign qualification in california a foreign qualification basically means that you're notifying california that you have a business that's outside of the state making sure that all your expenses taxes are accounted for and the proper authorities are notified will ensure that you won't have to pay any sort of penalties or additional fees or expenses in the future now you may or may not have heard but there are states that have more favorable benefits to forming an llc for real estate property some individuals decide to form a wyoming llc because wyoming has some of the most favorable and some of the most strongest laws in regards to personal asset protection this means that it is quite difficult to pierce the corporate veil the corporate veil means the protection and the shield that llcs provide you and basically what that shield does is it protects you from personal liability the issue with forming an llc in a state where the real estate is not located is you will be responsible for additional fees that you could avoid allow me to give you an example say you live in california you purchase property in florida and you create an llc in wyoming in that case you will have contact with three separate states california because you live there florida because that's where your real estate is located and wyoming because that's where your llc is registered in that case you would be responsible for all three state fees you'll be responsible for california fees florida fees and wyoming fees in order to save on overhead costs the main answer to the question which state is best for me to form an llc for my real estate business the first answer is going to be the state that you live in if you live in california and you purchase property in california then it's best to form an llc in california the second answer is if you live in california but you purchase property in florida then it will be best for you to form an llc in the state of florida because that is where the real estate property is located but do keep in mind if you decide to go that route you must do a foreign qualification meaning you must notify the secretary of state that you have a company that is out of state taking the proper steps will ensure that you create a solid foundation for your business which will allow you to continue to grow it and to expand it without setting the correct foundation without taking the required steps you may find yourself initially succeeding and growing but then having to come back to fix what was not correctly set up so if you would like to learn more about which state is best to form an llc for your real estate business please make sure you
