How to move from an EORto your own entity in Nevada.
Teamed forms your Nevada entity, migrates payroll and contracts over, and hands you a compliant, fully staffed company, no gaps, no re-hiring.
At a glance
Nevada entity basics
Nevada charges 0% corporate income tax, and its franchise tax is based on gross receipts with a $0 minimum, so many new entities owe nothing at the floor. Forming the entity itself costs a $75 registration fee through the Secretary of State, well below what most founders assume before they check.

Nevada's tax picture
What you actually save by holding a Nevada entity
Nevada does not levy a corporate income tax, so profit generated by your Nevada entity is not taxed at the state level the way it would be in most other states.
The franchise tax runs off gross receipts rather than profit, and the minimum sits at $0, which means a lot of smaller or newly transitioned entities clear the floor with nothing owed. That said, gross receipts based taxes can still bite as revenue scales, so it is worth modelling your actual numbers rather than assuming the state is free.
The mechanics
How the move actually happens
Setting up your own entity in Nevada starts with registration through the Secretary of State, which carries a $75 filing fee, followed by an EIN, state tax and payroll registrations, and workers' compensation coverage.
Once the entity exists, the real work is migration, not paperwork. Employment contracts, benefits, payroll cadence, and any equity or bonus structures need to move over without a gap in coverage, which is where most self-managed transitions lose time and where Teamed's process is built to prevent it.
Timing
When the switch is actually worth it
There is no fixed headcount where an entity suddenly beats an EOR. It depends on salary levels, how many people you have in Nevada, and how long you plan to stay there.
Rather than guess, run your numbers through the crossover calculator. It compares your current EOR cost against the ongoing cost of running your own entity and gives you a straight answer for your situation, not a generic rule of thumb.
Before you commit
Sometimes an employer of record is the better fit
An employer of record is sometimes the better answer, not a lesser one, especially for a small or still-changing headcount in Nevada, or while you are still testing whether the market is worth a permanent presence. Talk to a member of the team about your specific situation, or run the numbers yourself through the crossover calculator before you commit to an entity you may not need yet.
Contractors, employer of record and your own entity all run on one platform at Teamed, so moving between them later does not mean changing provider or re-onboarding anybody. Real HR and legal experts handle the work rather than a ticket queue.
Talk to a member of the team and we will tell you plainly which one suits where you are. If you would rather look at the numbers yourself first, the crossover calculator models it on local salaries and employer costs rather than on a headcount rule of thumb.
Who carries it
Your own entity, when it's time. We set it up, migrate you in, and hand it back intact.
Global Entity and Employment Operations, which we call GEMO, is how Teamed forms your company, registers it for tax and payroll, runs it month to month and keeps its filings current, across 100+ countries. You stay the employer. We do the work behind it.
In Nevada specifically, that means we handle the Secretary of State registration and its $75 fee, the tax and payroll registrations, and workers' compensation setup, then move your existing contracts and benefits across without a gap in coverage. You end up owning a clean, fully operational Nevada entity, not a half-finished shell you have to fix yourself.
They set up our EU entity and moved hires across without missing a payroll.
Questions
Nevada entity transition questions
Does a Nevada entity pay corporate income tax?
No. Nevada's corporate income tax rate is 0%, so a Nevada entity does not owe state-level income tax on its profits. This is one of the clearer reasons companies choose Nevada when they move off an EOR.
What is Nevada's franchise tax, and will I owe it?
Nevada's franchise tax is based on gross receipts rather than profit, and the minimum tax is $0. Many newly formed or smaller entities clear that floor and owe nothing, though it is worth checking your own revenue against the schedule as you grow.
How much does it cost to register a company in Nevada?
Registering a business entity with the Nevada Secretary of State carries a $75 filing fee. That figure covers formation itself, not the ongoing setup work like payroll registration or workers' compensation, which Teamed handles as part of the migration.
How long does moving from an EOR to a Nevada entity take?
It depends on how many employees you are migrating and how complex their contracts and benefits are, so there is no single timeline that fits every company. Teamed sequences the entity formation, registrations, and employee migration so nobody experiences a gap in pay or coverage along the way.
Should I switch now or stay on an EOR a bit longer?
That depends on your salary levels, headcount, and how long you plan to keep people in Nevada, not on a fixed employee count. Run the numbers through the crossover calculator, or talk to a member of the team, before deciding either way.
