Why Incorporate?
In the U.S., “Incorporating a company” means “form a company.” There are 3 main benefits to forming a company in the U.S. for your Investments.
1. Personal Asset Protection
The major reason why individuals choose to pursue a business through a company is to achieve protection over their personal assets, such as your home, family savings, other companies, and others.
In case the business fails, these personal assets can not be touched. They will, therefore, be protected from creditors. In other words, creditors can not go knock on the doors of the shareholders. Most investors of real estate choose to have each of their properties under a different company for this reason. If there is a problem in a property owned by a company that results in a lawsuit, only the assets of that company are at risk. Any of your assets under a different company are not at risk.
This limited liability of these corporations does not apply to so-called “Sole proprietorship”, sole proprietorships, or “partnership” – actually – where company owners respond with their own property for the debts of the company.

2. Tax Advantages
While corporations or LLCs may establish earnings deductions to reduce the payment of this tax, the other informal structures such as sole proprietorship or partnership does not enjoy these benefits. For example, medical expenses, life insurance or disability, are fully deductible for corporations.
On the other hand, a corporation may own shares of another corporation, and receive 80% of tax-free dividends.
3. Anonymity
In some cases, using a company for your Investments is a way to stay anonymous. There are many reasons for an investor to remain anonymous. Some states in the US offer a higher level of anonymity. Delaware is a state known to deliver a higher level of anonymity.
Other Benefits
In case of death of one of its owners, the company can continue to operate as the direction is independent of the shareholders. The property is easily transferable (which does not happen often with the LLC, where all members must agree).
Business is much easier having a LLC. Banks and businesses will be more willing to do business than they would face if a natural person.
Tax Returns
If you choose to do business in the US, you will be responsible to file your taxes in the US for each year you do business. If you purchase real estate using a company, then your company must file. In some cases, the owners, or members, of the company will also have to file a tax return.
