This would help me understand it so I can make better investment decisions next time by incorporating the trust rate into my P/L analysis. 

Sorry for bumping an extremely old post, hopefully someone can answer the question for me though--When putting a business name on a card, is it essential to have that business incorporated?

To qualify for the intrastate offering exemption, your company must: * be incorporated in the state where it is offering the securities; * carry out a significant amount of its business in that state; and * make offers and sales only to residents of that state.

You can incorporate in another state and file what they call a "foreign LLC" in Washington if they have atrocious asset protection laws there.

Also they can only incorporate the information that government offices publish and some states have non disclosure laws and not all banks share mortgage information.

Although I may be biased as an attorney, I would not recommend using standard form incorporation documents found through governmental websites.

Fundamentals that incorporate MY ideal placement in the transaction. 

(A little low but March is a tough month as March 15th is the fun date of taxes in corporate world)

I will incorporate those inspection costs when I'm looking at everything that needs to go in to the deal and make sure that I have a knowledgeable contractor to help give a more accurate estimate of the rehab costs. 

This includes incorporation of the business, and preparation of related business documents, such as Operating Agreements, Partnership Agreements, etc.
