All my traders are in the starter corps. I've never seen any apparent benefit to starting a corporation and adding the overhead of maintaining hub offices or warehouses or whatever.
I guess if I wanted to run a POS or something I would need it but I don't build or perform science or refine. I just trade.
If it would let all my guys share hangers at the hubs it might be worth it, but the way I understand it with courier gigs the contractor still has to get crap out of the deliveries hanger or something like that so I still end up having to log onto 2 different guys in order to move some stuff from warehouse A to the seller at the hub.
And what use is corporation contracting, will it let me make more than 21 public courier gigs at one time? How about > 21 public item exchange contracts? What exactly is a corporation contract?
Just looking to run things a bit more efficiently here, and wondering if incorporating might help

i found it good for the multiple wallet divisions, and hangers for the storage of goods with out having to put them in cans.
plus defining your self as a corp means you have a proper buisness and so when people go what do you do you can just refer them to your corperation and then they know you from this instead when you are in a NPC corp you will most likely be looked past because your in there.

Deliveries Hangar - the big win with a corp-based trading regime. Shared hangar that receives any goods bought for the corporation, or accepted off contract by the corporation. You have one at every single station in the entire known universe. Sure, you can't PUT anything directly into it (to do so, you need to contract it to yourself and accept on behalf of corp!), but its a shared hangar that every corp toon with roles can take stuff out of. This means having multiple toons able to access items without logging off and on.
Corp Wallets - depending on how you are trading, allocating corp wallets to projects can assist in managing expenditure and cash flow. I'm sure you are using out of game tools to track profitability but being able to share an isk pool across all your traders, that you can "tag" for a specific purpose, is pretty helpful. Going to manipulate 'Arbalest' launchers empire-wide? Drop 10b into a corp wallet, everyone can do their buys/sells from that wallet without having to wire isk around.
The only downside to corp-based trading is war decs, but of course you are a trader, and we all know traders don't haul, thats what contract haulers are for!

Can you make margin trades with the backing of a corp wallet?

Doubt it, but not sure. Margin trading is the devil. :)

Edit: Can one character accept a courier gig on behalf of his corporation and another one make the drop off and yet another character complete the contract?
Definitely. The only complication is the need to get the package from hauler to deliverer, which typically means you need a corp hangar there, or to contract the package back to your corp, accept it with someone so it winds in the delivery hangar, and then pick it up from there. Be careful when accepting the initial contract that you accept for corp however, otherwise you cant do this.

If you do make a mistake on accepting a courier contract like this, you can always make a new private courier contract to the correct character. Once he completes it then the character that originally accepted it can complete it.

It's also a way to extend the number of contracts you can make.

If you run everything out of the corp wallet you can monitor several trader alts without having to log on and off.

I formed a corp just for the convenience of corporate hangars.

Now to clarify, do I have to rent offices at a station to share a deliveries hanger amongst a group of alts?
And, will "corporate contracting" allow me to place >21 public courier/exchange contracts out at once?
I don't really see a need for wallet divisions in my own organization, nor corporate orders. But if I could keep all my loot in the deliveries hanger at each warehouse, so any trader could pull straight from there to a courier contract for delivery, I'd be in better shape than I am now.

No. Simply accept a contract or buy something with a corporate wallet at any location, and presto, a delivery hangar is created for your corporation.

Yes, I believe so, although I never hit my contract limits and actually don't pay much attention to this.

Thats how it works. Stacking items doesn't work so well from memory, and splitting items is still a pain (have to do it INSIDE a creating contract, cancel contract, go back in to see changes) but for all that, its damn good.

Actually you dont have to stop the contract UI, just go back (previous) once, then forward again (next) and there you go.

Delivery Hangers are nice when you have more than one alt working a region.
As a side note I recomend having newbie corp alt available to haul, in cases when you can't get a courier contract accpeted.

So I have a corp just for my trade business and I have one other member who helps. I have hundreds of personal items. So if I contract them to myself and accept them on behalf of the corp they will automatically be in the deliveries hangar? Resulting in the ability of my alts and other members (who have roles) to access that hangar and sell/haul it for the corp?
And what is the role exactly that gives a member access to deliveries hangar?
And what does it mean in the Corp Assets window under Offices when I click on one of my offices and it says Unused Corporate Office? When under my HQ office there are my hangar divisions containing items?
Also I noticed under Corp assets (Deliveries) your able to move the items to a corp hangar or player? So I tested it and moved an item from deliveries to a corp hangar in my office. But as stated above it doesnt show the item just Unused corp office.
