Nevada Transaction Considerations

  • Nevada has no corporate or personal income tax, making it a preferred jurisdiction for structuring holding companies and acquisition entities
  • As a community property state, spousal consent is required for transfers of community property business interests
  • Nevada Gaming Commission and Gaming Control Board approval is required for any change of control of gaming-licensed entities, with extensive background investigations of new owners

Nevada Legal Framework for Franchise Acquisition Law

Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable with restrictions for low-wage workers. Blue-pencil available.

Enforceable under NRS 613.195 if reasonable. Nevada courts blue-pencil overbroad restrictions. The statute requires that non-competes be supported by valuable consideration. In 2021, Nevada enacted restrictions (SB 47) prohibiting non-competes for hourly employees or employees paid at or below a specified compensation level. Non-competes arising from the sale of a business are given broader latitude.

Tax Considerations

Nevada has no corporate income tax, no personal income tax, and no franchise tax. The state imposes a Commerce Tax (0.051%-0.331%) on gross revenue exceeding $4 million, varying by industry. As a community property state, spousal consent may be needed for the transfer of community property business assets. Nevada's favorable tax profile makes it attractive for entity structuring.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. Bulk sales compliance requires 45-day advance creditor notice. Annual lists (reports) are required with relatively high filing fees. Business licenses are required from the Nevada Secretary of State.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Nevada retains UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales) under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 104, Article 6. Buyers of business assets must provide notice to creditors at least 45 days before a bulk transfer. Failure to comply makes the transfer voidable by the seller's creditors.
