Where should I locate my company?

I have family on either side of the OK-KS border.
I also have ties to Nebraska, Missouri, and Illinois.
I figure I can live anywhere. What state would be best?
I hear Texas has low taxes.
California is broke.

Do some checking on taxes, if that's what you want.

OK has little or no registration fee for big trucks. Companies used to get POboxes there so they could tag em in OK. They did away with that.

As far as being situated best for expediting, I would recommend either Texas or Missouri. I would think Illinois has tax issues. Texas also has large intrastate possibilities.

If you are going to expedite, i'd suggest you locate your business close to home. That way, when you get your 80% inservice hit, you don't have to go too far for R&R.

I don't know. I haven't created it yet.

Then why ask?

Get it together first, decide what you are going to do and then get an accountant to help you with it.

The reason I say this is because if you go into manufacturing it is a different set of issue state by state than if you get into recycling or dry cleaning.

Hauling freight in a Sprinter Van most likely. Although I might buy and sell equipment instead. Since I would own all the stuff I'm assuming I wouldn't need the DOT number and the extra insurance etc.

Some day I'd like to make it to see Mt Rushmore(before they add Obama to it:rolleyes:) I'd also like to see where my Grandfather was from.
