I will attempt to answer your questions as fully as I can.
Nevada does not have state income tax, franchise tax or corporate tax. There is sales tax on non-food items. Services are also not taxed. Once you are incorporated, you will need to file for the state business license, this is where you file for you state sale use tax. How this affects your clients is any Nevada client you sell product to will have to pay sales tax.
If you drop ship product from CA, Nevada clients will still have to pay sales tax.
As for obtaining credit, each institution has its own requirements. You will have to contact the bank of your choice to find out what their requirements are. As for banks with relationships, I don’t know of any. You don’t have to come to town to open the account, but you would have to mail in the deposits, unless you are close to the US border and can drop into WA to make deposits.
The initial set up for a Nevada corporation is $283. That includes the first year resident agent. After you are incorporated, you will need to file the initial list of officers/directors. The cost of this is $125 directly to the secretary of state. If you would like us to file it for you, we charge an additional $10. You will also need to file for the state business license. The cost through the dept. of taxation is $100 if you are not required to charge sales tax, $115 if you are required to charge sales tax.
Annually, you will need to file the annual list of officers, whether anything changes or not. That is $125 a year, directly to the secretary of state. We charge $89 a year for resident agent, you can prepay your 2nd or your 2nd and 3rd year and get each of those for $40. The state business license is $100 per year. What you will need to due business in other states and internationally really depends on what level you are doing business. If you are an internet based business, you shouldn’t required to file any special paperwork in other states.
