Ohio
Secretary of State

In Ohio, the Secretary of State is responsible for registering corporations, with Frank LaRose currently serving in the role. Ohio offers a favorable business environment with low registration fees and a variety of tax credits for job creation, research and development, and investment in economically distressed areas. The state’s central location and extensive transportation infrastructure, including highways, railways, and ports, provide logistical advantages for companies involved in manufacturing and distribution. These factors make Ohio a strategic choice for incorporation.
