krypton, i'm actually trying to help because it's my job to provide (in certain cases) start-up businesses with loans, so i know this whole process better than most people (who don't make it their job).
yes, there are tax advantages to list expenses under a registered corporation as they can be written off as losses that you can claim when you eventually make some money. This way, you can accrue those expenses (especially any R&D, which as you said may take up to 10 years). However, you'll have to invest in an accountant to set this up properly for you because corporate tax planning gets very complicated. given where you are in your business planning process, most accountants will laugh at you but happily take your money.
you also have the risk of accruing so many expenses over 10 years that no bank would provide you with financing unless you can show that you have 2 x as much cash on hand as you have accrued losses so that the bank can be sure that you are not using its funds to finance those losses.
anyway, best of luck, and again, domesticated has raised some valid points; no comment on the mud slinging.
