Why? It's not as though someone goes from no-understanding-whatsoever to complete-mastery.
I remember when I decided to form an LLC the next step was do decide which state to do it in--specifically, whether to do it in Delaware or my home state. Cost and convenience (what this article is about) was a consideration.
Then after I decided to do it in my home state, I needed to decide whether to a) do it myself, b) use an online service, or c) use a local attorney. That meant more reading on that particular question.
People do this thing called 'research'. It is a method of finding information that, among other things, allows them to mentally model future possibilities. Accurate overview information is really useful for this - one doesn't need to know that the answer to question 14a on form 6735n has tax implications in order to get an idea of the process, compare to other states, etc.
Thanks for the gratuitous condescension, but my point here is that I see the potential audience is quite possibly either too advanced to find the article useful or else not advanced enough to recognize its limitations.
I'm sorry you didn't find my humor funny, I wasn't trying to be mean.
But fine then; we disagree. I found the article worth reading - it is exactly the sort of thing I'd want if I found myself with a mostly-idle interest in what the process looks like.
Last time I did incorporate, I spent substantially more time and money on the question (and would never do so in CA, but that's a different discussion). But that's because I was actually doing it, not just curious.
