I'm looking into moving to Florida for tax reasons later this year. I would reincorporate there when this happens. However, I have a potentially large contract coming in and don't want to change locations while in process. So I'm thinking of obtaining a virtual office and incorporating in Florida now.
As far as I can tell, there is no reason why this would not be legal. My corporation is an S corp, so the tax advantages would only manifest once I move as well.
Has anyone done something like this, relocating your business to a state where you are not a resident? I'm not sure what the pitfalls are. Or I suppose I should ask if there are any specifics about doing business as a Florida company. I was surprised by one state I registered in. States can have funny laws.
