IncorpAssist: A Jurisdiction Engine for Founders

About the Project

IncorpAssist is a jurisdiction recommendation engine for founders deciding where to incorporate. Answer 10 to 15 questions about your residence, business model, fundraising plans, and priorities, and it returns three ranked entity recommendations across 22 jurisdictions, complete with pros, cons, tax estimates, and compliance flags.

The problem: picking an incorporation jurisdiction is one of the highest-stakes early decisions a founder makes (it determines tax exposure, banking access, fundraising readiness, and audit risk for years), yet the existing options are bad. Lawyers charge $500 an hour to say "it depends." Generic listicles push Delaware or Wyoming regardless of fit. Provider sites (Stripe Atlas, doola, LegalZoom) are sales funnels, not advisers.

IncorpAssist closes that gap with a deterministic scoring engine that weighs your actual situation: a Swiss-resident SaaS bootstrapper gets different answers than a Canadian VC-track founder, and both get reasoning, not a sales pitch. The tool also ships a full tax calculator (modeling US federal and state brackets, QBI, GILTI, SE tax, and 20+ country dividend regimes), head-to-head jurisdiction comparisons, and a residence-aware risk overlay covering CFC, substance, and reporting obligations.

Practice Areas

Key Features

Live preview as you answer. A sidebar shows your top three recommendations updating in real time after each question, so you understand which inputs move the result.

Full tax calculator. Side-by-side after-tax take-home across up to 3 jurisdictions. Models US federal progressive brackets, 50-state income tax (30 with full bracket tables), QBI Section 199A with SSTB phase-out, GILTI, SE tax, NIIT, franchise fees, foreign qualification costs, and personal dividend regimes for 30+ countries.

Residence-aware risk overlay. 79 residence profiles (51 US states plus 28 countries) with CFC rules, substance doctrines, treaty network, and ~94 treaty withholding overrides. Surfaces real risk per jurisdiction-residence pair (Greek resident plus Delaware LLC flags CFC; UK resident plus Ireland flags central management and control).

Head-to-head comparison pages. 27 statically generated pairs (Delaware LLC vs Wyoming LLC, Singapore vs Hong Kong, UAE vs Cyprus, etc.) with interactive world map, animated stat bars, and a "biggest differences" summary.

Compliance flags built in. WARN and INFO advisories for Form 5472 (foreign-owned US LLCs), CFC/GILTI/FBAR (US persons abroad), FinCEN BOI, S-Corp plus SAFE incompatibility, Singapore nominee director, Ireland/UK CMC risk, UAE ESR, and more. Roughly 25 advisory rules.

Home benchmark. Scores your home jurisdiction through the same pipeline and shows it as a reference card alongside the top 3, so you see what you would give up (or gain) by incorporating elsewhere.

Built-in content. 6 SEO-optimized blog posts (~22k words, 5 pillars covering entity types, founder taxes, non-US founder pitfalls, jurisdiction selection, and tax-vs-operating-cost tradeoffs).
