 Good for S-Corps August 24, 2008
Excellent for novices on the subject. It has enough material to either generally educate you on the matter, or specifically help you with your incorporation of choice. I used it for help in starting an S-Corporation, and it has been very beneficial. So I personally vouch for the content for S-Corporations.
 Be Careful When Incorporating August 17, 2008
The book is good, but honestly, incorporating is a legal process that you should consult an attorney for. Incorporating online may be cheap, but there are law firms and attorneys that will do this cheaply as well, and you can rest assured knowing that for just a little bit more than doing this yourself, you can have an experienced work with you. Imagine incorporating the wrong way and only finding out years later when you are sued and a judge ruled that because you did not follow proper incorporation rules you are held personally liable for any judgment against your "corporation". Its a disaster, and not worth it. http://www.persilylaw.com is a law firm that can incorporate you cheaply and I'd recommend them over a book.
All the information you need to incorporate your business May 1, 2008
All the information you need to incorporate your business can be found in this book. Including a step-by-step guide that will help make the transition as painless as possible.
Well once again a Dummies book has come to my rescue. I just love these books because they are perfect for me. I have not found one yet that hasn't made whatever I was doing easier and less stressful. They are the best.
This one is no exception. When I found out that incorporating my business would help to protect me personally, I knew I needed to check into it further. Well after about 2 weeks of researching I still had no idea what I was doing. I was stuck on whether to incorporate, start a partnership or limited liability company. I was just a mess. Then I remembered my dearest friend, the Dummies books. I looked and there it was - just what I needed.
First off let me tell you that once I read this book I began to understand what incorporating meant. It finally all made sense to me. That was obstacle number one. Then I had to figure out how to get this incorporation thing accomplished. Dummies to the rescue again.
This book told me about many things. For instance, do I really need to incorporate? It also helped me figure out and understand about corporate bylaws, statues and even what shareholders were and how they figured to all of this. It even gave me fantastic tips on how to find the right professionals to help with all this stuff.
Best of all it armed me with all the information I needed to know before going to talk to the professionals. We all know how it is at times, we go to talk to a pro and sometimes you leave feeling like you didn't know anything you were talking about when you walked in or like you've been taken advantage of in some form or another. After reading this book I knew everything I needed to know when I went into the office to talk to my attorney. I left feeling like I was in control, just as I had when I went in.
Again, I have to give credit to these books for us dummies. They have lead me through numerous problems and helped me find my way in so many areas of my life. I don't think I could do without them. My bookcase is lined with them. Try this book if you're even thinking about incorporating your business. It will keep you straight and up to date with all the great information and tips included.

The book gave a good review of the different types of Incorporation. The type that might be best for any business desired with different requirements and tax advantages of each type. Whether one has partners makes a difference in type needed or whether one wants to sell stock in their company or not.
For a primer it is good but one needs a more in depth knowledge or a tax expert to really get more out of the type of incorporation wanted.
Good as a starter, but you will need more. March 7, 2004

Inc for Dummies is not just for dummies, it is a good book on How To Incorporate, but you will need more.Some additional books icnlude How To Incorporate: A Handbook for Entrpreneurs and Professionals by Michael R. Diamond. How To Incorporate in Any State: Everything You Need to Form a Corporation by W. Dean Brown. S- Corporations by Robert Cooke. Form Your Own Corporation and Launch a Business in Any State and The Small Business Kit by J.W. Dicks. Use the dummies book as a starter guide. Use the other books for the real meaty information. Be careful what you buy, the marketplace is proliferated with books by self proclaimed experts who read a lot but have no real world experience.
