The Top 5 Best U.S. States to Start a Business:

Establishing Your Own Inc. in New York

Would you like us to establish your own New York Inc.?

Ultimately, establishing a New York Inc. is about tailored advice. Where does your liability lie? What permits are needed? What are the chances of things going wrong? Can some responsibilities be shifted to, for example, export agents or business partners? Are the owners Dutch or American, and what are the pros and cons of each? It all begins with a personal consultation at a time that works best for you.

The 5 Advantages of an Inc. in New York

1.

Limited Liability

In most cases, limited liability protects the business's foundation and its shareholders from personal liability. For instance, if the company incurs debt, creditors would not be able to claim personal assets of the owners and shareholders to cover their payments.

An Inc. can be compared to a Public Limited Company and shares characteristics with a Private Limited Company. "Incorporated" is the official English term for a Public Limited Company.

2.

Anonymity

With a business address in New York and a Delaware Inc., you aren't required to disclose all the details about the individuals involved in the company. In essence, you can establish your business anonymously, possibly even through a representative on behalf of the company.

3.

Professional Image and Business Formalities

Having a Delaware Corporation or a New York State Inc. gives your business a more professional appearance, thanks in part to the "Inc." initials appended to your business name. The Inc. serves as the official endorsement by the State of Delaware or New York State. Having an Inc. can make it easier for your company to secure bank loans and succeed in various business transactions.

4.

Tax Advantages for European Companies

While New York is known for its higher tax rates, setting up a corporation in New York offers various fiscal benefits and deductions:

General Deductions:

  • All startup and incorporation costs are fully deductible
  • Business travel and transportation expenses are deductible
  • Office rent and related facility costs are 100% deductible
  • Professional services (legal, accounting, consulting) are deductible
  • Marketing and advertising expenses are fully deductible

Specific New York Benefits:

  • The STARTUP-NY program provides up to 10 years of tax-free operations in designated zones
  • The Excelsior Jobs Program offers tax credits for job creation
  • Special R&D tax credits for innovative companies
  • Commercial Expansion Program (CEP) offers property tax abatements
  • Relocation Employment Assistance Program (REAP) credits

Additional Tax Benefits:

  • Health insurance costs are deductible for employers
  • Pension plans can be set up with tax advantages
  • Losses can be carried forward to future years
  • International tax treaties prevent double taxation
  • Specific deductions for certain industries

Strategic Tax Planning:

  • Possibility of tax-efficient holding structures
  • Flexible loss offsetting for startups
  • Favorable treatment of intellectual property
  • Opportunities for tax credits on sustainable investments
  • Special arrangements for international companies

It's important to note that tax laws are complex and regularly change. Van Holland Group collaborates with specialized tax advisors who can guide you in optimizing the structure for your specific situation.

5.

Perpetual Existence

A company established in New York State or Delaware has perpetual existence, regardless of changes in ownership. In some states, if the owner passes away, the company ceases to exist. If an heir wishes to continue operations, it would be regarded as a new business. However, this is not the case in New York. Even if shareholders change, a New York State or Delaware Corporation remains unaffected.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Between an Inc and an LLC

Inc. An "Incorporated" company that meets all legal requirements. Universities, healthcare, (semi-)government, and municipalities typically work only with "Inc's" established in the USA.

LLC. A Limited Liability Company, where income taxes pass through to the owners, but liability remains within the company.

The Inc. is the most commonly used business structure in the United States. One reason for its popularity is that neither the shareholders nor the board members are personally liable for the company.

Manhattan: Living in the Heart of the World

As an entrepreneur, you are not just looking for a place to do business, but also an environment where you, your family, and your employees feel at home. Manhattan offers that rare combination of business success and unparalleled quality of life, all wrapped in an energy unique to this city.

The rhythm of the seasons gives Manhattan a unique dynamic. In spring, Central Park comes alive with blossoms and joggers, while summer transforms the city with outdoor concerts and picnics in Bryant Park. Fall turns the city into a palette of gold and red, and winter creates a magical atmosphere reminiscent of countless films.

The cultural offerings are overwhelmingly rich. In one day, you can admire a modern art exhibit at MoMA, have lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant, and enjoy a Broadway show in the evening. The culinary scene reflects the city's global diversity—from exquisite French bistros to authentic dim sum in Chinatown, and from trendy food halls to iconic New York delis.

For families, Manhattan provides a surprisingly pleasant living environment. The city boasts some of the world’s best schools, including renowned international institutions. Children grow up with Central Park as their backyard, where they can skate in winter and boat in summer. The many children's museums, like the Natural History Museum, turn learning into an adventure.

Daily life is enriched by endless opportunities for relaxation. Start your day with yoga in a rooftop studio overlooking the skyline, lunch in a hidden courtyard restaurant, shop at boutiques in SoHo, and end the evening with a concert at Carnegie Hall. The excellent subway infrastructure connects all parts of the city, making everything easily accessible.

Manhattan's reputation as a business hub is matched by its quality of life. It is a place where ambition and enjoyment meet, where global business opportunities and personal growth go hand in hand. Here, you not only create a successful company but also build a rich and fulfilling life for yourself and your team.
