NEVADA BUSINESS ENTITY LAWS
Due to factors like its lack of state income or corporate tax, business friendly laws and courts, low costs and no IRS info sharing agreement, Nevada is a very popular state for incorporations and other business formations. Here are Nevada's Revised Statutes (NRS) on various business types. Also, most Chapters are annotated -- some heavily -- with comments, court decisions, etc. and can be rather large. Note: Nevada's biannual Legislature amended many Nevada business organization statutes in '97. The NRS files below INCLUDE those changes, but some other changes have since been enacted so is only current as of late '99.
