Alaska Incorporation

  • Business Structure Requirements

    Business Structure Requirements

    The most common structures for incorporation in Alaska are the Limited Liability Company (LLC) and the Corporation (Inc.). Both require at least one owner or member, who may be an individual or another legal entity. A registered agent with a physical address in Alaska is mandatory. Foreign (non-U.S.) owners are allowed, and there are no residency or nationality restrictions. All entities must register with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing before conducting business.

  • Capital Setup

    Capital Setup

    Alaska does not impose a minimum capital requirement for LLCs or corporations. Ownership contributions can be made in cash, property, or services. LLCs define ownership and management terms in an Operating Agreement, while corporations outline these in their Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

  • Taxes

    Taxes

    Alaska’s corporate income tax is graduated from 0% to 9.4% based on taxable income, with the top rate applying to income above $222,000 (as of 2024). There is no state-level sales tax, although some municipalities impose local taxes (typically 1–3%). Alaska also levies no personal income tax, and LLCs are generally treated as pass-through entities for federal tax purposes. The state offers credits and exemptions for oil, gas, renewable energy, and small business investments.

  • Ongoing Obligations

    Ongoing Obligations

    All Alaska businesses must file a Biennial Report every two years with the Division of Corporations and pay a modest filing fee. Companies must also maintain accurate accounting records, renew business licenses annually, and file federal income tax returns with the IRS. Depending on business activity, entities may need to register for local tax permits, employment taxes, and workers’ compensation insurance. Corporations must hold annual meetings and maintain records of minutes and resolutions in compliance with Alaska’s corporate governance laws.

An EIN is similar to a personal Social Security Number, but for your business. Each corp or LLC has a unique EIN.

Certification of Good Standing

You may require this document if you wish to setup a business bank account, apply for a loan or even to do business with another state, depending on the laws of that state.

A Certificate of Incumbency is a document that is issued to outline the identity of the signing officers of a corporation (or LLC). This document is also used often to confirm that an individual is authorised to enact on behalf of the company.

Questions?

  • Is it worth it to register a company in the USA if I don’t live there?

    Companies owned by non-resident foreign nationals are given the same rights and treatment as companies owned by US nationals and residents. You will have access to all the same benefits and incentives as local companies.

  • Should I register an LLC or a corporation?

    It is recommended that UK owners register a corporation, not an LLC. A USA corporation offers limits of liability to its shareholders, equal to the shareholder’s initial contribution, much as the UK Limited company structure does. The LLC also offers limited liability but is not recommended due to legal, tax, and cost reasons.

  • What is the initial share capital required to form a corporation in the USA?

    Most states do not require any minimum share capital, and the ones that do, normally require a minimal amount

  • How many shareholders of a corporation must be residents or nationals of the USA?

    None. A US corporation and its shares can be entirely owned by foreign nationals who are also non-resident

  • How many minimum shareholders does a USA corporation require?

    US corporations can be established with only a single shareholder.
