Principal Place Of Business

Categories: Incorporation

Where are your corporate offices? Where do you reside, as far as governing laws apply? That's what this one's about.

States have different laws. Countries have different laws. Taxes vary. Rules and regulations vary. So identifying your principal, or primary, or key, or homelanded place of biz is important for pretty much everything you do as a business.

Now turn to our virtual channel, where you're really based on an unnamed island in the Pacific with great internet access (used to be a military base) and, um...where is your principal place of business?

Yeah, the law just got trickier.
