Why Incorporate in Wyoming?

In 2021, Wyoming ranked number one on Tax Foundation's annual State Business Tax Climate Index, making it one of the most business-friendly states in the nation. To help business owners, Wyoming offers several business and tax incentives, including various financing options and loans, provided your corporation meets certain criteria.


For example, there is a Partnership Challenge Loan that allows the Wyoming Business Council to partner with a local economic development organization to create combined loan proceeds that assist a business (third-party loan recipient).


For most entrepreneurs looking to form a larger business, creating a Wyoming corporation may be the best option. As a corporation, your business is able to buy and trade stock, and when it comes to excess profits, corporations offer more flexibility than an LLC. A corporation is allowed to pass income and losses to its shareholders, who report taxes on an individual tax return at ordinary levels.

Is an LLC Better Than a Corporation?

It all depends on what you want to achieve. Limited liability companies are usually better for smaller businesses. An LLC would be easier to set up, and would receive many of the same benefits as corporations, with less regulation.
