Pros

Nebraska does not charge a lot of money to start your NE business.

Cons

Nebraska is a little in the stone ages for what it makes businesses go through:

• The SOS provides no template forms for businesses because the NE Bar has lobbied to prevent this so you default to hiring a lawyer.
• The SOS requires original inked signatures.  (It’s not 1980 anymore, unless you’re dealing with the NE SOS.)
• You are required to publish your new business in a newspaper, providing a really annoying step to starting your business.
• Nebraska overcomplicates biennial reports.  It should be a simple process, but it’s not in Nebraska.
