You wake up with a great idea, and you ask yourself, \u201cWhat\u2019s next? How do I materialize thoughts into substance?\u201d We don\u2019t want to unnecessarily complicate the heck out of things, but there are some considerations when forming a business.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Entity_Location\"><\/span>Entity Location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the first concepts is location\u2026 where should you form your new entity? Delaware and Nevada have marketed themselves, quite literally, as a business-friendly state. While we are not here to argue the efficacy (or lack of) of their marketing and statements, some of the hype is just that. In our small business podcast we discuss physical nexus and economic nexus. Generally speaking, physical nexus is your butt\u2026 where do you do the work?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpajournal.com\/2019\/08\/07\/california-state-and-local-tax-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Economic nexus<\/a>\u00a0can be summed up a bit differently; while you do not physically occupy space in another jurisdiction, such as a state, you have substantial presence (quasi-physical) because of revenue or sales, property and \/ or payroll.<\/p>\n<p>So often people want to form their business in Nevada although they do all the work in California (as an example). This is fine. You can easily form your entity in Nevada, but you will also have to file as a foreign entity in California. So, what did you accomplish? Who knows. However, you might be relying on legal advice (good, sound and proper legal advice) and Nevada is necessary. Or\u2026 you are obtaining some venture capital and they insist on a Delaware corporation. Remember the golden rule; he or she who has the gold makes the rules.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LLC_versus_Corporation\"><\/span>LLC versus Corporation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In our small business podcast we also discuss the differences between a limited liability company and a corporation, and why you might need to choose one over the other. Some professions in certain states, such as a physician, accountant or attorney in California, are required to be professional corporations (P.C.). In continuing to pick on California, they have a nasty tax called state disability insurance (SDI). Corporate officers can opt-out of SDI, but LLC members cannot. If the ultimate goal is to file an S Corp election on the underlying entity, then the tax effect is the same between LLC and a corporation\u2026 but the corporate form in California allows you to opt-out of state disability insurance.<\/p>\n<p>We also discuss the differences between LLCs and corporations in terms of paperwork and terminology (articles of formation versus articles of incorporation). Exciting!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Owners\"><\/span>Other Owners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Do you want to add your spouse to the ownership? Perhaps. Do you want to add your mother to the ownership as a silent investor? While she might be anything but silent, she might need some cash to cover living expenses and it might make sense for her to pull money out of the business at a lower marginal tax rate than you. Children? Oh boy\u2026 that sounds like trouble.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6732f1d535d24\" class=\" wd-rs-6732f1d535d24 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Entity_Formations_and_Considerations_Podcast\"><\/span>Entity Formations and Considerations Podcast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>The audio version of our first podcast is available on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/wcg-inc-formerly-the-watson-cpa-group\/id1481500685\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iTunes<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS9XdGVDSlNFaA%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Podcasts<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/2rpIbjiPhP8lT2yTaKv4bx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<style><\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[vc_raw_html css=&#8221;&#8221;]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwaGVpZ2h0JTNEJTIyMjAwcHglMjIlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjEwMCUyNSUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIybm8lMjIlMjBzY3JvbGxpbmclM0QlMjJubyUyMiUyMHNlYW1sZXNzJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZwbGF5ZXIuc2ltcGxlY2FzdC5jb20lMkZhZDRhYzEyMS1hMDg2LTQ5NDMtYWFjNC1iMWM0MDVkN2NkYjIlM0ZkYXJrJTNEZmFsc2UlMjZjb2xvciUzREEwODc1MCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html]\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-6732f1e206371\" class=\" wd-rs-6732f1e206371 wd-info-box wd-wpb text-left box-icon-align-top box-style- color-scheme- wd-bg-none border-btm-title \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-box-title title wd-font-weight-800 box-title-style-default font-primary wd-fontsize-m\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taxpayers_Comprehensive_Guide_to_LLCs_and_S_Corps\"><\/span>Taxpayer\u2019s Comprehensive Guide to LLCs and S Corps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info-box-inner reset-last-child\"><p>Our Entity Formations and Considerations small business podcast comes from material found in our book and on our website.
