The cost to incorporate in Hawaii is $100.00; incorporation may be completed online, but fillable forms are available as well.

The division in charge of Hawaii corporations is the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs' Business Registration Division. The Business Registration Division, or BREG, is located in Honolulu. The BREG also provides assistance in the form of Business Action Centers, an in-person resource for business filers; there are Business Action Centers located in Maui and Hilo.

While the cost to incorporate in Hawaii is rather typical, Hawaii is known for its business-friendly climate, due in part to the lack of franchise tax or charter tax common to other states.
