Nevada LLC Benefits

There are many benefits of forming a Nevada LLC. Many entrepreneurs and business owners consider using this type of LLC instead of many other state LLC options. Once you learn more about the advantages, you may find that forming a Nevada LLC would be in the best financial interest of your business.

Privacy

For many business owners, privacy is a very big deal. With a Nevada LLC, this is not something that you have to worry about. When compared to other states, Nevada is much better at protecting the identity and maintaining the privacy of LLC owners. In short, this means that your name, address and industry type are not going to be made public record.

No State Tax

In the state of Nevada you can choose to have your company taxed as a partnership, as opposed to a corporation. In turn, this allows you to save a lot of money on taxes. In addition to the ability to avoid state tax, as a member of a Nevada LLC you will not have to pay self-employment tax. When compared to other states, Nevada is well ahead of the game in terms of benefiting the company. Many states have very high tax rates and cannot compare. There is also no tax for the following:

•corporate tax

•personal income tax

•franchise tax on income

•gift tax

•inheritance tax

•unitary tax

•admissions tax

Protect your Assets

Just like most states, when you form a Nevada LLC you are keeping your personal and business assets separate from one another. Creditors are unable to come after your personal assets, should something go wrong with your business.

Also, a Nevada LLC can be formed with a single member – there is no need for multiple partners. For an entrepreneur looking to get started on their own, while taking advantage of the many other benefits, this is a big benefit.

Low Minimum Requirements

Some states require that LLCs meet many standards and requirements. This is not the case with Nevada. One of the most important requirements to be aware of is that you do not have to live or do business in Nevada in order to open an LLC within the state. In addition, you have the ability to file all the proper paperwork by phone, fax or email. The process is very easy.

You may need some assistance when it comes to filing the proper documents, but the ability to open an Nevada LLC from other parts of the world is quite possibly the biggest benefit. Finally, Nevada does not have any cash restrictions that you are required to follow. For example, stock can be issued for services, property, or cash, all at the discretion of the LLC.

Establishing your LLC in Nevada will give you the chance to take advantage of the many benefits the state offers. It is important to consult with an attorney or financial planner to be sure that your documents are in order. However, it is a simple process to go through.

How to make Expense Management your strategy

Always be internally-driven: Keep improving your process. Have a good employee suggestions program that works, that is, all suggestions are carefully evaluated and those that are implementable are actually implemented, and if they work out well, the employee is suitably rewarded.

Always be externally-driven: Stay on top of changes in technology and process. Even when a technology is not directly targeted at your application/process, you need to evaluate it to see if you can use it for cost reduction.

Competitor-driven: Benchmarking against your competitors is ideal. You must have real time data on your competitors' cost position. If you find that your competitor is doing better than you, immediate action is needed.

Always be Implementing a cost reduction program: After you have compiled the data from competitors and other industry benchmarks, set realistic goals first, though it is perfectly fine to have ultimate goals as well. Ruthless cost cutting can have negative consequences.

Develop a cost reduction program in consultation with each and every employee who could potentially contribute. Do not limit the team to managerial types. In many cases, the floor staff has a better understanding of what works and doesn't and how to make the process better.

Always do a ROI analysis. No cost reduction program should be undertaken until the ROI justifies it.

Explore all options for cost reductions and not just those related to business process redesign or technology/equipment upgrades. Some of the other options that can be considered are outsourcing or off-shoring.

Business process redesign - A simple framework for small and medium-sized businesses While growth is a preferred mode of creating value in almost all cases, an enterprise still needs to focus on operations management, or more specifically, on the robustness of its business processes. Business processes, therefore, may need to be redesigned from time to time for the following reasons:

1.Existing process are broken, or in other words, performing at sub-optimal levels

2.New technology/equipment/systems are available

3.Competitors have better business processes putting you at a competitive disadvantage

4.Business model transformation is being implemented

5.Customers expect you to align your processes with theirs

While business process redesign (or reengineering or revamping or overhaul) may initially seem overwhelming, it shouldn't be. In fact, most businesses should be able to do a large part of BPR on their own. We believe that no one knows an enterprise's processes better than their own employees. However, there are areas where an external advisor can create value:

1. Employees are often reluctant to identify broken systems, inefficiencies, errors, etc. because it is likely to make them look bad

2. Consultants and advisors, through their work with other companies, have a better

3. understanding of what works and what doesn't. Thus, by tapping into their knowledge base, you can not only save time and money, you are also ensuring that you are using the best practices available in the industry. They also have better idea about benchmarks and may, therefore, help you set realistic expectations from BPR

When an organization decides to outsource, reducing costs is always one of its main objectives. Then 'reducing' costs evolved into the need to 'control' them. And today, the financial aspects are often not even listed among the key points. It's true that cutting costs remains an important factor, but rather as a consequence of the main requirements: nowadays when an organization embarks on an outsourcing project, it is looking above all to safeguard its operation (thanks to state-of-the-art Data Centers, industrialized processes and formal, guaranteed levels of service), to make sure it has easy access to the expertise it needs to manage complexity within its information systems, to access technological innovations more quickly and to be in a position to respond to fast-changing business practices.

What customers presented to their service providers followed quite a simple formula: "do the same thing, but better, faster and at a lower cost". At that time, outsourcing often consisted very largely of taking over existing systems. But for the past five years, IT Departments have had to face a dual, and clear-cut acceleration: within business itself on the one hand, which has led their internal customers to expect their information systems to be much more responsive.

And, on the other hand, on the technological front, especially with Web technologies now reaching maturity (including those operating at back office level) and the growth in consolidation and virtualization.

Today's outsourcing contracts take this change into account and as a result they are including much more development work rather than simply operational tasks. Which is why costs no longer take center stage in the list of requirements for the contract: before doing things in a less costly way, you have to start by actually doing it in the first place!

Charging Order Protection for Nevada Corporations

The right of a judgment creditor to collect against the assets of a judgment debtor varies depending upon the nature of the assets. Some asset types – primarily liquid assets - can be directly attached, while other asset types have limitations on attachment by the judgment creditor. Assets that cannot generally be directly taken by a judgment creditor usually provide for other recourse, such as potential foreclosure and forced sale of assets, or the imposition of a “charging order” against future income of assets.

Liability Protection

An affordable and very effective method to shield your assets from attack is to transfer your rental property to a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Holding title to investment property through an LLC limits the liabilities of the business to only those assets held within the LLC. In the same way as shareholders of a corporation are shielded from liability, a properly formed LLC will guard its owners from lawsuit liability, including liability from acts of its employees and agents.

Start Your Own Corporation

Should your small business become a corporation? This is a question you need to ask during the start-up and evolution of your company. Learn what you need to know about incorporating your small business.

Bill's years of hard work had finally paid off. Bill's company, a sole proprietorship computer business was earning solid profits and had built a large client base. Bill thought he had it made, until a part-time employee had "an accident" that wiped out a customer's computer system.

In a matter of months, Bill's dream business came tumbling down. Slapped with a lawsuit, the sole proprietor lost all his assets, savings, house, and marriage. If Bill had his company incorporated, his business and personal life would have been separated and had an additional layer of protection.

Incorporation reduces disasters. According to BizStats.com, only 22% of all the small businesses in America are a limited liability corporation, S corporation, or C corporation. Over 72% of businesses are solely operated and exposed to liability risk.

The decision to start your own corporation will vary, depending on the needs of the business and yourself. Consider the following benefits of incorporation:

Benefits of Starting Your Own Corporation:

Liability: A corporation exists as a separate legal entity from your personal life. Any debts or lawsuits are incurred by the company, not the owner. Any business with potential for lawsuits should consult with a lawyer and consider incorporation. Incorporating will offer an added layer of protection but it is still adviseable to obtain business liability insurance.

The bad debts will often be the responsibility of the corporation. In the case of bank financing, more and more banks require business owners to sign a personal guarantee; making your personal assets collectible on a defaulted loan. Consider your options before signing.

Taxation: Another main benefit to incorporating is the taxation of a company. Corporations are often taxed at a lower rate and have better taxable benefits. Talk to your accountant about the tax advantages.

Raising Money: Financing a small business as a sole proprietorship or partnership can be difficult. A corporation can sell shares of the company and raise money easier than other business structure types.

Selling the Business: A non-corporate business is hard to valuate properly. A business corporation value will be based on the business, not the owner, therefore making it easy to sell the company.
