Incorporate in Minnesota

Minnesota is one of the leading states in the nation in terms of agricultural receipts and generates almost 4% of the nation’s total agricultural receipts. The revenue generated comes from five different agricultural products and they are hogs, corn for grain, dairy products, soybeans, and cattle. There is an increasing trend of setting up companies in Minnesota especially in the manufacturing industry like the computer and electronic products that includes manufacturing of medical devices, communications equipment, agricultural machinery, transportation equipment, and computer components. This diverse industrial focus of Minnesota based businesses has contributed hugely to the current-dollar GDP, which was estimated at $351.1 billion in 2017.

Why Choose Minnesota for Incorporation?

Is company incorporation in Minnesota a really good business option? Minnesota does not only offers a great business climate but also the opportunity in the form of business incentives so that start ups can grow within the state.

Now let’s take a look at some of the salient reasons that are responsible for fuelling the growth of small businesses:

After incorporation in Minnesota, you can benefit from tax credits like property tax credit, sales tax credit on construction equipment, debt financing credit on new construction, and tax credit on construction materials, and new employee credits.
  • Greater Minnesota Job Expansion Program: This is a program that provides qualifying business with tax benefits. Businesses that are located in Greater Minnesota and aid in increasing employment will be able to benefit from sales tax refund on specific purchases (purchase and use of construction materials) that have been made during a seven-year period.
