Maryland
Secretary of State

In Maryland, the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) is responsible for registering corporations, rather than the Secretary of State. An interesting aspect of incorporating in Maryland is the state's pro-business environment, which includes various tax credits for job creation, research and development, and biotechnology investment. Maryland's location near Washington, D.C., and its strong sectors in technology, healthcare, and defense make it an attractive choice for companies, particularly those engaged in federal contracting or research.
