Elliott & Davis | Why Incorporate in PA?

Home | Why Incorporate in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania is an incredibly business-friendly state. Although there has been a lot of discussion about Delaware and Nevada as desirable places to incorporate, Pennsylvania has kept pace with these states and is one of the best places for businesses - both large and small - to incorporate.

Some of the benefits of incorporating in Pennsylvania include: limited liability, reduced tax exposure, increased credibility, perpetual existence.

Even if your business is not located in Pennsylvania, and you don't maintain any offices in Pennsylvania, you can still incorporate your business in Pennsylvania, using a Commercial Registered Office Provider (CROP). Our firm is registered with Pennsylvania as a CROP and we are glad to be able to provide out-of-state businesses with a simple and affordable way to take advantage of the many benefits of incorporating in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania requires that all corporations and limited liability companies/partnerships have a CROP that is registered with the Secretary of State for Pennsylvania unless they maintain their own office in Pennsylvania for service of process.

Under Pennsylvania law (15 P.S. Sec. 109), entities required to provide a registered office address in any document filed in the Department of State may enter into a contract for the services of a CROP and may list the name of the CROP in lieu of providing a registered office address.

Elliott & Davis is registered with Pennsylvania as a CROP. Our present fee for this valuable service is $100 per year or $250 for three years. Please call Eric Davis at 412.434.4911 ext 11 if you are interested in having Fried & Davis serve as a CROP for your corporate entity.
