Incorporation Services or Corporate Information in the USA
New company formation. Following the English common-law tradition,
formation of a new company in the US is very similar to practice in Australia
except that the company must be formed under the state law of one of the
US states such as New York, Florida, etc. In addition, companies can generally
be formed as either corporations or Limited Liability Companies (which
have many partnership characteristics.) Norfolk Corporate Services can
form your corporation or limited liability company in any of the 50 states.
The most popular jurisdictions for incorporation in the United States
are New York, California, Florida and New Jersey, generally because they
represent major population centers. Delaware, Nevada and Wyoming all have
major corporate populations due in large part to the fact that they do
not seek to tax income earned outside of their borders. As a matter of
fact, more than 50% of the companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange
are incorporated in Delaware.
As with corporations, we can file your Limited Liability Companies (LLC)
documents anywhere in the USA.

Corporate information: Because companies are registered at the
state level in the US, it is possible to obtain a "Certificate of Good
Standing" for any US company by knowing the exact company name and the
state in which it exists. The documents generally contain the name of
the company and date of creation, are certified by the issuing state and
represent that the company was validly created and is in a continuing
state of existence. The costs vary depending on the state but are usually
between US$175 and US$275 plus courier fees.
In addition to formal Certificates of Good Standing, you can usually
obtain a corporate search from a given state detailing whatever information
on that company is available from the state database.
Financial information on company performance: In the US, the financial
details of a company are not required to be publicly disclosed (except,
of course, to the tax authorities in the company's tax returns which are
highly confidential) unless that company is publicly traded.
If the company is publicly traded, it is required to file quarterly and
annual as well as other reports detailing its financial performance and
disclosing other required information. This information is available to
the public at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml
