A Penny Saved...Can Be A Fortune Lost

It wasn’t that long ago that we were being bombarded with news updates about the horrific Deepwater Horizon oil spill (a.k.a. BP oil disaster) that occurred back in April of 2010. In January 2011 the Whitehouse oil commission released a report wherein they blamed BP and its partners for a series of cost-cutting decisions as contributing to this catastrophic accident.

One of the so called cost-cutting decisions was to not use a diagnostic tool to test the strength of the cement. What was the cost of this tool? The cost was a tiny fraction of what they lost in oil, paid for cleanup, what they have paid to settlements and what they will pay for future settlements. That’s right- a tiny fraction!

How does this relate to you? Do you have a Corporation but no Corporate Record Book? It’s all too common these days for people to want to start a Corporation and put off obtaining a Corporate Record Book to cut startup costs, figuring that they’ll get to it later or they think they can get by without one.

About 60% of closely held Corporations are in jeopardy of having their corporate veil pierced because they haven't tended to the formalities of issuing stock or have not maintained corporate records.

A couple of years ago a gentleman called to inquire about the cost of setting up a Corporation in Nevada. He mentioned that he did indeed want a Corporate Record Book with his order. He said he had recently lost a lawsuit with a Corporation he had in another state that wiped him out. He stated that the court ruled against him because he had no Corporate Record Book and had not issued stock. He vowed to do it right this time.

Here again is another cost cutting example that cost many times more in the long run. What is the cost of a Corporate Record Book? It varies depending on where you purchase it, the quality, etc. but it most definitely was a small fraction of what this gentleman lost. Typically they are less than one hundred dollars.

Fortunately, Nevada offers greater protection for Corporations, but if you cannot prove you're a real Corporation with shareholders and not just an alter ego of yourself, your assets could be at risk.

Yes, I still have a lot to learn and I have no intention of replacing good customer service with Tweeting or Blogging . I enjoy the interaction with our wonderful clients. But I do know I have to swim with the tide or get left on the island- so I work at it for a bit after hours.

Economic Indicators from Nevada Secretary of State's Office Show New Entity Filings Up Significantly in First Quarter

(Carson City, NV; May 11, 2011) – With mixed reports about the strength of the economic recovery in Nevada coming from a variety of sources, the latest statistics sourced to the Nevada Secretary of  State’s office show two consecutive quarters of significant growth in new business entity filings, suggesting new investments may be leading to business expansion. (See the full report here.)

As reported in the Quarterly Economic & Business Activity Report prepared by Applied Analysis, a Nevada-based research and analysis firm, new entity filings were up 12% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The latest quarterly growth followed the preceding quarter’s positive performance, which was the first since mid-2006.

“I’m as optimistic as I’ve ever been that Nevada has broken through the restraints of the worst recession in decades and is now moving steadily toward economic recovery,” Secretary of State Ross Miller said after reviewing the analysis. “Nevada has a history of incredible resilience, and I’m confident that history will repeat itself. While I don’t think anyone expects to quickly rebound to record-breaking growth, I believe the latest numbers from my office  indicate that more people will find work in the coming months and that we all can look forward to greater economic stability.”
