Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the IncorpAssist website, tools, calculators, comparison features, recommendation engine, and all related content and services (collectively, the “Service”) operated by IncorpAssist (“we”, “us”, “our”). By accessing or using the Service, you (“you”, “your”, the “User”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.

These Terms apply to all features of the Service, including but not limited to the jurisdiction recommendation wizard, the jurisdiction comparison tool, the tax calculator, residence-based tax overlays, head-to-head jurisdiction comparisons, and all provider links and referral content.

1. Nature of the Service (Informational Tool Only)

1.1. IncorpAssist is a free, publicly available educational tool designed to help founders, entrepreneurs, and business owners understand the landscape of business incorporation options at a general level. Its purpose is to organise publicly available information, present simplified comparative data, and help users form better questions to bring to their professional advisers. It is not designed or intended to guide, influence, or replace any specific transaction, filing, or professional engagement.

1.2. The Service does not constitute and shall not be construed as legal advice, tax advice, financial advice, investment advice, accounting advice, or any other form of professional advice. The information presented is general in nature and is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified professional who can assess your individual circumstances.

1.3. No attorney-client relationship, solicitor-client relationship, advisor-client relationship, accountant-client relationship, or any other professional-client or fiduciary relationship is created between you and IncorpAssist, its owners, operators, contributors, or affiliates by your access to or use of the Service. The provision of information through the Service does not create any duty of care owed to you by IncorpAssist.

1.4. IncorpAssist is not a law firm, solicitors’ practice, barristers’ chambers, accounting firm, audit firm, tax preparation service, enrolled agent, registered investment adviser, financial planner, insurance broker, corporate services provider, or any other type of licensed, regulated, or registered professional service provider in any jurisdiction worldwide. No person associated with IncorpAssist is acting in any such capacity in connection with the Service.

1.5. The use of terms such as “recommendation”, “match”, “best”, “score”, “fit”, or similar language throughout the Service refers solely to the output of an automated algorithmic process and does not constitute a professional recommendation, endorsement, or opinion. These terms are used for ease of communication and user experience purposes only.

1.6. The operator or operators of this Service may hold legal, tax, accounting, or other professional qualifications. This does not, under any circumstances, transform the Service or any content within it into legal advice, tax advice, or professional advice of any kind. No professional qualification held by any person associated with IncorpAssist creates any professional relationship, duty of care, or obligation of any nature between that person and you. The content of the Service is published in a personal, non-professional capacity for educational purposes only. You should not infer from the existence of any such qualification that the Service is professionally vetted, jurisdiction-specific, or suitable for your individual circumstances.

1.7. The Service is general and jurisdictional in nature, not individual and situation-specific. It presents aggregate information about categories of jurisdictions, entity types, and tax regimes. It does not, and cannot, analyse your personal facts, circumstances, or legal position. Any output of the Service must be understood in that context. The Service operates as a deterministic software algorithm: it applies fixed scoring rules to your inputs and returns a ranked output. No person reviews your answers, exercises legal judgment on your behalf, or applies professional expertise to your individual circumstances.

2. No Reliance and Your Obligation to Seek Professional Advice

2.1. You must not rely on the Service as the sole or primary basis for any incorporation decision, entity election, tax filing, tax planning strategy, business structure decision, or any other action with legal, tax, financial, or regulatory consequences.

2.2. Before making any decision based on information obtained through the Service, you must consult one or more qualified professionals appropriate to your circumstances, which may include:

• A qualified attorney or solicitor licensed in your jurisdiction of residence and/or the jurisdiction in which you intend to incorporate;
• A certified public accountant (CPA), chartered accountant (CA/ACA/FCA), chartered tax adviser (CTA), enrolled agent (EA), or other qualified tax professional;
• A registered investment adviser or regulated financial adviser, if your decision involves investment structures, holding companies, or fund vehicles;
• A specialist in international tax, transfer pricing, or cross-border structuring, if your situation involves operations, assets, or persons in multiple jurisdictions.

2.3. Every founder’s circumstances are unique. Factors including but not limited to your personal tax residence, citizenship, immigration status, family situation, existing business structures, contractual obligations, regulatory licences, intellectual property holdings, investor agreements, employment history, and future plans can materially affect which jurisdiction and entity type are appropriate. The Service cannot and does not account for these individual factors.

2.4. You acknowledge and agree that you bear sole responsibility for any decisions you make, and that IncorpAssist bears no responsibility whatsoever for the consequences of those decisions, whether or not they were influenced by information obtained through the Service.

3. Accuracy, Completeness & Currency of Information

3.1. The Service presents data including but not limited to: corporate tax rates, personal income tax rates and brackets, dividend withholding tax rates, self-employment and payroll tax rates, state and provincial tax rates, franchise taxes, annual filing fees, formation costs, tax treaty withholding rates, Qualified Business Income (QBI/Section 199A) deduction thresholds, GILTI provisions, S-Corporation election rules, SSTB phase-out thresholds, standard deduction amounts, entity formation requirements, banking accessibility assessments, regulatory classification assessments, and other jurisdiction attributes.

3.2. All such data is approximate, may be outdated, and may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. Tax laws, rates, thresholds, treaties, and regulatory requirements change frequently, in some cases multiple times per year, and the Service may not reflect the most recent legislative, regulatory, or administrative changes. Exchange rates, fee schedules, and formation costs are subject to change without notice.

3.3. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. We make no warranty, representation, or guarantee, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, suitability, timeliness, or currentness of any information, data, calculation, score, recommendation, or other content provided through the Service. This includes, without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

3.4. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we specifically disclaim any warranty or representation that:

• Tax rates, brackets, or thresholds displayed in the Service are current or reflect the law as it applies to your specific situation;
• Tax estimates or calculations produced by the tax calculator feature bear any relationship to your actual tax liability;
• Jurisdiction scores, rankings, or recommendations are appropriate for your particular circumstances;
• Entity type comparisons (e.g., LLC vs. C-Corp vs. S-Corp) account for all relevant factors in your situation;
• Cross-border tax implications (including but not limited to CFC rules, GILTI, PFIC, FBAR, FATCA, CRS, Subpart F, transfer pricing, permanent establishment, central management and control, and substance requirements) are fully or accurately represented;
• State or provincial tax obligations (including income tax, franchise tax, gross receipts tax, sales tax, use tax, and foreign qualification requirements) are fully modelled;
• Warning flags, risk indicators, or advisory notices displayed in the Service are comprehensive or cover all risks relevant to your situation;
• The Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components.

4. Tax Calculator and Tax Estimates: Additional Disclaimers

4.1. The tax calculator feature of the Service provides simplified, illustrative estimates only. These estimates are not tax returns, not tax projections, not tax opinions, and not a basis for tax planning, tax filing, estimated tax payments, or any financial decision.

4.2. The tax calculator uses simplified bracket models and standardised assumptions that do not and cannot account for the full complexity of any tax system. Specific limitations include but are not limited to:

• The calculator considers only business income entered by the user and does not account for other sources of income (employment, investment, rental, capital gains, etc.) that affect marginal rates and threshold calculations;
• Deductions, credits, exemptions, and elections available under applicable tax law (including but not limited to itemised deductions, child tax credits, earned income credits, foreign tax credits beyond simplified estimates, research and development credits, depreciation, amortisation, and loss carry-forwards) are not fully modelled;
• Alternative minimum tax (AMT), net investment income tax (NIIT) beyond simplified estimates, additional Medicare tax beyond simplified estimates, and other supplemental taxes may not be fully accounted for;
• Qualified Business Income (QBI/Section 199A) deduction calculations are simplified and may not correctly model the W-2 wage limitation, the UBIA of qualified property limitation, specified service trade or business (SSTB) phase-outs, aggregation rules, or income from multiple qualified businesses;
• GILTI (Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income) calculations are simplified and do not model qualified business asset investment (QBAI), tested loss positions, high-tax exclusion elections, or the interplay with foreign tax credits across separate limitation categories;
• S-Corporation reasonable compensation requirements are presented as general guidance only; actual IRS determination of reasonable compensation depends on industry, role, geographic area, and comparable salaries, not a simple percentage;
• State and local tax estimates use simplified bracket models or flat rates that may not reflect local surtaxes, county taxes, city taxes, school district taxes, or special district assessments;
• International tax estimates (including dividend withholding, personal tax on distributions, and territorial exemptions) are simplified and may not reflect treaty benefits, tax sparing provisions, participation exemptions, or anti-avoidance rules applicable in your jurisdiction;
• The calculator does not model payroll taxes, social security contributions, national insurance, VAT/GST/sales tax, customs duties, stamp duty, capital gains tax on disposal of shares, exit taxes, or wealth taxes that may apply;
• Entity-specific considerations such as thin capitalisation rules, interest deduction limitations (e.g., Section 163(j)), earnings stripping provisions, and controlled foreign corporation attribution rules are not modelled.

4.3. You acknowledge that the difference between the tax calculator’s estimate and your actual tax liability could be substantial, potentially tens of thousands of dollars or more depending on your circumstances. You must not use these estimates as a substitute for professional tax preparation or planning.

5. Recommendation Engine and Scoring: Additional Disclaimers

5.1. The jurisdiction recommendation wizard uses an algorithmic scoring engine that evaluates jurisdictions based on user-provided answers and a set of weighted factors including tax efficiency, banking accessibility, administrative burden, legal predictability, investor-friendliness, and other attributes. The algorithm applies heuristic rules, weighted scores, and hard filters to produce a ranked list.

5.2. The scoring algorithm is a simplified model that cannot capture the full complexity of jurisdiction selection. It does not and cannot account for:

• Your specific contractual obligations, existing corporate structures, or pending transactions;
• Immigration, visa, or work-permit implications of incorporating in a particular jurisdiction;
• Industry-specific licensing, regulatory approvals, or permits required in the recommended jurisdiction;
• The impact of your choice on existing tax elections, loss carry-forwards, or tax attributes;
• Substance requirements, economic nexus standards, or permanent establishment thresholds that may apply based on your actual operations;
• Changes in your personal circumstances (relocation, change of citizenship, marriage, divorce) that may affect the suitability of a jurisdiction;
• Political, economic, or regulatory risk that may emerge after the recommendation is generated;
• The availability, cost, or quality of local professional advisers, banking relationships, or corporate service providers in the recommended jurisdiction.

5.3. A high score or “best match” designation does not mean a jurisdiction is appropriate for you. It means only that the algorithm ranked it favourably based on a simplified model applied to the answers you provided.

6. Comparison Tool and Residence Overlays: Additional Disclaimers

6.1. The jurisdiction comparison tool and residence-based tax overlay features allow users to compare jurisdictions side-by-side on various attributes and to see how their personal tax residence may interact with a given incorporation jurisdiction.

6.2. Residence overlay information (including CFC risk indicators, substance requirement warnings, reporting obligation flags, withholding tax rates, and banking friction assessments) is generalised and simplified. The actual impact of your tax residence on a foreign corporate structure depends on numerous factors that cannot be captured by a simplified tool, including the specific CFC rules of your country of residence, applicable tax treaties (including limitation on benefits and principal purpose test provisions), local anti-avoidance doctrines, and your personal income and asset situation.

6.3. Withholding tax rates displayed may not reflect rates available under applicable tax treaties, may not account for reduced rates requiring advance certification or application, and may not reflect rates applicable to your specific type of income or entity structure.

7. Affiliate Disclosure & Commercial Relationships

7.1. The Service displays links to third-party formation providers, registered agents, corporate service providers, and related services. Some of these links are or may become affiliate links, meaning IncorpAssist may receive a commission, referral fee, or other compensation if you click through and purchase a service. This compensation is paid by the third-party provider and comes at no additional cost to you.

7.2. We represent that affiliate relationships do not influence the algorithmic scoring, ranking, or recommendation of jurisdictions. The recommendation engine scores jurisdictions based on feature attributes and user-provided answers, not on the existence or value of affiliate arrangements. However, provider links displayed within results may include both affiliate and non-affiliate providers, and the order or prominence of provider listings may be influenced by commercial considerations.

7.3. The display of a provider link on the Service does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of that provider’s services, competence, reliability, pricing, or suitability for your needs. You are solely responsible for evaluating and selecting any third-party provider.

7.4. Affiliate commission structures, cookie durations, and tracking mechanisms vary by provider. We may update affiliate relationships, add new affiliate partners, or remove existing ones at any time without notice.

8. Limitation of Liability

8.1. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCORPASSIST, ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRIBUTORS, LICENSORS, AND AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “INCORPASSIST PARTIES”) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, including but not limited to:

• Loss of profits, revenue, business, contracts, anticipated savings, data, or goodwill;
• Tax liabilities, penalties, interest, fines, back taxes, additional assessments, or any adverse tax consequences of any kind;
• Costs of tax return amendments, voluntary disclosures, or remedial filings;
• Penalties for failure to file required forms (including but not limited to FBAR/FinCEN 114, FATCA Form 8938, Form 5471, Form 5472, Form 8865, Form 8858, Form 3520, BOI reports, or equivalent forms in other jurisdictions);
• Costs arising from entity dissolution, re-domestication, conversion, or restructuring;
• Loss of S-Corporation election, inadvertent termination of tax-exempt status, or loss of any other tax attribute or election;
• Costs of professional advisers retained to remedy consequences of decisions influenced by the Service;
• Losses arising from third-party provider services, including formation errors, delayed filings, or overcharging;
• Immigration consequences, visa denials, or work-permit issues arising from incorporation decisions;
• Regulatory enforcement actions, licence revocations, or sanctions for operating without required authorisation in a jurisdiction;
• Any other losses, damages, costs, or expenses of any nature whatsoever.

8.2. The foregoing limitation applies whether the claim is based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, breach of warranty, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether IncorpAssist has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

8.3. In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain types of liability, the liability of the IncorpAssist Parties shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

8.4. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate liability of the IncorpAssist Parties for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service exceed one hundred pounds sterling (£100).

9. Assumption of Risk

9.1. You expressly acknowledge and agree that your use of the Service is at your sole risk. You understand that incorporation, entity selection, and tax planning involve complex legal and financial considerations with potentially significant and irreversible consequences, including substantial tax liabilities, penalties, and legal exposure.

9.2. You voluntarily assume all risk associated with using the Service, relying on its output, or taking any action based on information obtained through the Service, including the risk that the information may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or inappropriate for your circumstances.

10. Indemnification

10.1. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the IncorpAssist Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and costs of litigation or arbitration) arising out of, relating to, or in connection with:

• Your access to or use of the Service;
• Any incorporation, entity formation, entity election, tax filing, tax planning, or business decision made by you, whether or not influenced by the Service;
• Your violation of these Terms;
• Your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;
• Any claim by a third party (including tax authorities, regulatory bodies, investors, co-founders, or creditors) arising from your use of the Service or decisions made in connection with information obtained through the Service;
• Any dispute between you and a third-party provider accessed through the Service.

10.2. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of these Terms and your cessation of use of the Service.

11. Jurisdiction-Specific Regulatory Disclaimers

11.1. IncorpAssist is not registered, licensed, authorised, or regulated as any of the following in any jurisdiction worldwide:

• Law firm, solicitors’ practice, or barrister;
• Certified public accountant (CPA), chartered accountant, or audit firm;
• Tax return preparer, enrolled agent, or chartered tax adviser;
• Registered investment adviser (RIA), financial adviser, or financial planner;
• Insurance broker or agent;
• Corporate service provider, trust company, or nominee director provider;
• Any other regulated professional service provider.

11.2. Use of the Service does not constitute the practice of law, the practice of accountancy, tax preparation, tax advice, financial advice, investment advice, or any other regulated professional activity in any jurisdiction, including but not limited to the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and its member states, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, Hong Kong, Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, or any other jurisdiction covered by the Service.

11.3. United States-specific notice: The Service is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney, CPA, or enrolled agent. Information provided regarding US federal income tax, state income tax, self-employment tax, FICA, franchise tax, S-Corp elections, QBI deductions, GILTI, FDII, Subpart F, PFIC, FBAR, FATCA, BOI reporting, and any other US tax matter is general in nature and may not apply to your situation. IRS Circular 230 Disclosure: To the extent any content could be construed as tax advice (which is not intended), it is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing, or recommending any transaction or matter addressed herein.

11.4. United Kingdom-specific notice: The Service does not constitute a regulated activity under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 or the Tax Advisers (Conduct of Business) Regulations. We are not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), or HMRC for tax advisory purposes.

11.5. The information provided is not tailored to the laws of any specific jurisdiction. Tax rules, reporting obligations, entity requirements, substance doctrines, CFC rules, anti-avoidance provisions, and regulatory regimes vary significantly between countries and between sub-national regions (e.g., US states, Canadian provinces, Swiss cantons, German Länder). You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all laws, regulations, and filing obligations applicable to you and your business in every relevant jurisdiction.

11.6. Unauthorized practice of law notice: The definition of what constitutes the unauthorized practice of law (UPL) or its equivalent varies significantly between jurisdictions. In some US states and in certain other countries, providing general legal information in digital form may be regulated or restricted even when no professional relationship is created. IncorpAssist has taken steps to ensure the Service functions as an educational and informational resource only, consistent with applicable UPL frameworks. However, you are responsible for determining whether accessing or using this type of educational resource raises any concern under the laws of your specific jurisdiction. If you are in any doubt, consult a qualified local attorney before using the Service.

12. Third-Party Links, Services & Providers

12.1. The Service contains links to third-party websites and services, including formation providers, registered agents, corporate service providers, legal platforms, and banking services. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only.

12.2. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, accuracy, legality, privacy practices, terms of service, pricing, service quality, timeliness, or availability of any third-party website or service. The inclusion of a link does not imply affiliation with, endorsement of, or responsibility for the linked site or its operator.

12.3. Your relationship with any third-party provider is solely between you and that provider. Any contract, payment, dispute, or claim arising from your use of a third-party provider’s services is governed by that provider’s own terms and conditions and is not the responsibility of IncorpAssist.

12.4. We do not verify, audit, or guarantee the qualifications, licensing, regulatory compliance, financial stability, or professional competence of any third-party provider listed on the Service. You should independently verify the credentials and suitability of any provider before engaging their services.

All content, text, graphics, design, user interface, visual layout, algorithms, scoring models, data compilations, software, source code, and other materials comprising the Service (collectively, “Content”) are the property of IncorpAssist or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, database rights, and other intellectual property laws of England and Wales and international treaties.
