INCORPORATE IN NEVADA
Legal Advantages
- Piercing the corporate veil requires presence of fraud or manifest injustice - the highest standard available.
- Charging order protection for stock of closely held corporations protects innocent shareholders. This protects the stock of all Nevada corporations with between 2 and 75 shareholders. Nevada is the only state to offer this protection
