When it comes to running a business in the US, it’s almost better to think about each state as if it were its own country because you’re subject to a substantial amount of state laws. You can’t incorporate at a federal level—only state level.

Federal law does it exist, but it feels like more a set of minimal standards. Most of the differences that people pay attention to are state laws because they usually go above the federal laws and regulations.
