California is the largest state economy in the U.S. and a major hub for business formation. The state offers multiple business entity types through the Secretary of State, including LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships.

California's Corporations Code and the Revised Uniform LLC Act govern entity formation and operation. The state has a mandatory franchise tax for most business entities.
