Re: Better to Incorporate in NV or WA?
Nevada has fewer rules for disclosure of corporate officials and shareholders. Washington has very forward oriented rules, being based upon the Model Corporations Act. For a corporation with a need (or desire) to keep secret its shareholders and officers, Nevada may be worth the additional cost and inconvenience of incorporation there. Microsoft is a Washington corporation.
