Company formation starts after several administrative procedures are completed and the individual needs are translated to the corporate possibilities. The incorporation of the company requires the appointment of at least one director, the issuance of share certificates, and the approval of the Business License. Also, the internal rules, procedures and responsibilities must be codified in the bylaws of the company.
The Department of Licensing is responsible for the application process that permits companies to conduct business in Washington state. In the United States, each individual state can decide on its own requirements for companies to operate legally. Failure to comply with the licensing requirements permit government agencies to fine or close a business. The business license must be renewed annually.

Upon request by the client bank account opening in other financial centers is possible.
Income tax in the USA is imposed at federal, state and local levels. The (for profit) C corporation is taxed separately from its owners under federal income tax.
