So you are interested in moving your business into California, but do not know where to start? A CA Registered Agent can give your business all the tools necessary to work in California while limiting your chances of litigation and decreasing your costs as a growing business.

Tools Necessary to Work in California

Different states have different laws regarding filing, meeting minutes, board officers and members and more. A registered agent specialized in California Incorporation and business laws ensures your business does not run afoul of state laws.

The right tools include templates for filing director elections, meeting minutes, and more. If your corporation is based in a less regulated state, dealing with California reporting requirements will overwhelm your organization and tempt you to hiring expensive attorneys.

The alternative to an attorney or CPA is to find a business specializing in corporate registered agents. A business specializing in registered agent services can save you money while ensuring your business is compliant with all corporation requirements.

Limiting Your Chances of Litigation

Many lawsuits are filed solely for the hope of a quick buck. Each time your corporation files foreign corporation papers, you are giving the public access to financial information. From the start, a registered California agent can ensure your company does not expose unnecessary assets to litigation in California courts.

Decrease Costs

The right registered agent will have materials on hand to give your company quickly and efficiently filed paperwork. Efficiency saves time and money. While paperwork may not be your largest cost in California, it is the most important. Corporate paperwork determines taxes, legal rights to work, asset ownership and more.

The costs of the wrong paperwork increases exponentially as paperwork is foundational to all other business aspects in California. Please contact us for more information on how your business can incorporate in California.

A state lawmaker is proposing California tax savings in the form of reduced income taxes for those who save money in a 529 savings account to put their children through college. According to an article from the Sacramento Business Journal, Assemblyman Jim Patterson recently introduced the proposal which would cut the income taxes by the same amount as what is saved in their 529 plan, with the amount capped at $3,000 per year for individuals and $6,000 per year for joint filers.

The assemblyman stated that it is his hope that the proposal will bring immediate relief to some people, while encouraging more families — particularly those in the middle-class income bracket — to use the college savings plans. In addition, he hopes that this will be the first in a long line of proposals aimed at reducing the tuition costs for California’s public university systems. The 529 plan allows for taxes to be withheld on the earnings while they’re in the account and some of the proceeds to be tax-free when used for qualified expenses. 30 other states have similar tax breaks for those using the 529 plans.

529 plans are a way to reduce your personal income tax. However, there are a number of ways that you can also reduce the taxes on your business. Certain business structures allow for reduced tax, including S Corporations and Limited Liability Companies. Corporate California can not only help you determine the best business structure for your company, but we will also help ensure that you receive all the benefits you can under that structure.
