   Actually now that is a registered trademark of Jason Wiener's firm:)

   Colorado really does have some important advantages, including flexible statutes and experienced lawyers.

     @hosford42 @jenniferplusplus @Alsy @Doomed_Daniel @ireneista Exactly. I think @ntnsndr once said he wanted Colorado to be the Delaware of co-ops.

     @Steve

     It's actually super common for C corps, I think. They call them "Delaware corps" because that seems to be the place everyone registers in. I'm guessing there's a lot less of a common standard for cooperatives, though.

     @jenniferplusplus @hosford42 @Alsy @Doomed_Daniel @ireneista Incorporation laws vary by state. Some are very friendly to co-ops (Wisconsin, Colorado, Illinois, and a couple more), and most are not. However, you can incorporate in a state you don't live or work in. It's pretty rare, but it can happen.
