You don't have to incorporate in the DR (you could "domiciliate" your American company) but you should incorporate for a variety of reasons. Just for starters, incorporation is generally cheaper and faster than "domiciliation" which implies getting an authorization from the President to establish domicile in the DR.
Residencies for Americans and others from the First World are generally easy to obtain, usually in 3 to 4 months. As the son of Dominican parents your husband can obtain Dominican citizenship although it usually takes longer than obtaining residency.
Incorporation costs are a lot higher in the DR than in the US for two reasons: a) incorporation taxes are higher and b) the process is more involved and time-consuming.
