|
Nevada
allows corporations to use bearer stock certificates, which allow
owners
or investors utilizing such bearer shares to exercise control or
ownership
while remaining anonymous.
|
·
|
Nevada's
broad indemnification statute provides greater personal asset protection
by eliminating personal liability of directors and officers, acting
in
their capacity as officers and directors, for acts done not in good
faith
(absent intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the
law)
regardless of whether the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation contain
a limitation of such liability.
|
·
|
There
is no requirement in Nevada of an information sharing agreement with
the
Internal Revenue Service.
|
·
|
Nevada
does not impose restrictions on the place, time, or frequency of
stockholders or directors meetings. The stockholders of a standard
corporation may consist of any number of individuals of any nationality
and/or any number of corporations.
|
·
|
The
ability to raise capital by issuing capital stock in financing
transactions.
|
·
|
To
have shares of Common Stock available to pursue business expansion
opportunities, if any.
|
·
|
Dilution
to the existing stockholders, including a decrease in our net income
per
share in future periods. This could cause the market price of our
stock to
decline.
|
·
|
The
issuance of authorized but un-issued stock could be used to deter
a
potential takeover of the Company that may otherwise be beneficial
to
stockholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or
issuing
shares to a stockholder that will vote in accordance with the desires
of
the Company’s Board, at that time.
