Company Set Up
Confidentiality is a key aspect of Californian company law. Details of the business such as the names of company shareholders are not available on public record and asset protection is provided for company shareholders when setting up a business, meaning that they are not held personally liable for company debts.
The business environment in California gives companies a lot of flexibility. This allows corporations to buy, sell, transfer, or give shares of their own stock for finances, services, or property. Flexibility in management allows one person to fill the three major positions of chief financial officer, company president and secretary.
Taxation
State taxation in California is considerably less than federal taxation, with Corporation Tax at just 9%, compared to 35% at federal level. There are also reductions and exemptions available for certain types of company and business operations.
California also has an Enterprise Zone Program consisting of Enterprise Zones (EZs), Targeted Tax Area (TTAs), and Manufacturing Enhancement Areas (MEAs). These zones offer various tax benefits and local incentives to encourage business and create jobs in certain areas of the state.
