Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good book on how to incorporate your business
Review: After reading through this book several times I would have to agree with Donna Knight. This book covers only the basic corporation set up and documention. At times it seams like an add for The Company Corporations services. Make sure you reveiw all 34 pages to see if this book has what your looking for. I would recommend Inc.Yourself by Judith H. McQuown. It goes it to more detail on tax strategies.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Good book on how to incorporate your business
Review: I bought this book along with Rich Dad's Advisors; Own Your Own Corporation by Garrett Sutton.

Incorporating Your Business for Dummies is a good book for the average reader. This book shows how to protect personal assets, save on taxes, set up your board of directors, conduct meetings and more.

I especially enjoyed the part on how to create tax free medical benefits, pension and retirement plans. Very informative.

For even more information, I recommend "Own Your Own Corporation" by Garrett Sutton and "How To Start a S Corporation" by Robert Cooke.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Okay, but not enough meat
Review: I thought that this book was an okay read but left some very important information out especially regarding S-Corporations.
The best book I have found on S-Corporations is How to Form a S-Corporation by Robert Cooke.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good book for those contemplating a corporation
Review: If you are contemplating starting a business and therefore a corporation, this book is a great first start. As with all of the dummy series books, the authors feel that people reading these books are brand new and know nothing. So this gives even the most naive a good start on how to incorporate.

So much of the information is basic and since the book was written awhile ago, some of the material may be dated. Nonetheless, good first start for business people.

Other good books include How To Start a S-Corporation by Robert Cooke and Brilliant Deductions by Wade Cook. The latter shows a way to drop out of the social security system and offers a good section on Nevada Corporations.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of three must read books on corporations
Review: If you are just starting out, you will find a wealth of information in Incorporating Your Business For Dummies. Read this and learn.

Two other books that are MUST READS are How To Incorporate: A Handbook for Entrepreneurs and Professionals by Michael R. Diamond and How To Start A "S" Corporation by Robert Cooke. You will also want to read a How To Incorporate (for your particular state), a series by J.W. Dicks. I purchased How To Incorporate and Start a Business in Minnesota and was very pleased.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Lots of Incorrect Information
Review: In order to maintain the legal status of your corporation, you need to pass very specific resolutions and keep very specific records. I had hoped for a "cookbook" for the legal steps required to set up and operate my corporation, but this is not it.

The info on corporate structures is very basic and general - you could easily find this level of detail on the web. That's my primary complaint with this book... it mentions what you must do, but doesn't give you the specifics of how.

Instead of this book, I recommend you:

(1) Get the *basics* from your lawyer or accountant (or even doing some research on the web)

(2) buy The Corporate Minutes Book by Anothony Mancuso instead of this book!

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: Good as a starter, but you will need more.
Review: 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.
