There should be a guide or services for smaller companies and Startups to incorporate in tax shelters so they too can enjoy the tax benefits and thus level the playing field with the big boys. Are there such resources around?

There is nothing preventing you from moving to a country with more favorable tax laws, especially with a business based around the Internet. If your sentence was meant to reference money, well that's something every company goes through in the early stages. At that stage the best you can hope for is to turn a profit and get to the point where barriers to entry kick into effect.
As an example, consider that no matter what interpretation of any tax law you get from an IRS employee, it will not hold up in court - if an IRS agent tells you to do A, then the IRS decides later to disallow A and that you should have done B, they will hit you up with taxes and penalties and you have no recourse.
UNLESS, you pay money for an IRS administrative ruling; then, you can use that response in tax court. The key is that the cost for such rulings are $50K. Each.
