The "best state" for incorporation depends entirely on your specific situation. Delaware makes sense for VC-backed startups. Wyoming for privacy. Your home state for most small businesses. Don't pay extra for a fancy jurisdiction if you don't need the specific benefits.

The most important thing for LLC protection isn't the state you form in — it's whether you maintain the corporate formalities. Separate bank accounts, proper record-keeping, adequate capitalization. Without these, the LLC is just a piece of paper.
