Common Jurisdictional Queries

Q.Why is Ohio the best 'Rust-to-Tech' play?

Intel's $20 billion chip factory in New Albany is the largest infrastructure project in the state's history. It is creating a massive 'supply chain ripple' for industrial and residential real estate. Ohio's $99 setup and $0 annual fees make it the perfect vehicle for this play.

Q.Does Ohio have a 'Franchise Tax'?

No, Ohio replaced its corporate franchise tax with the Commercial Activity Tax (CAT), which is a low-rate tax on gross receipts. For many real estate entities, the burden is minimal compared to the traditional high-tax states in the Midwest.
