Everything you need to know about forming and maintaining a Delaware LLC.
Delaware has over 200 years of well-developed corporate case law, a specialized Court of Chancery with expert business judges, and highly flexible statutes. Most institutional investors, VCs, and accelerators require Delaware entities because the legal framework is predictable, investor-friendly, and globally understood. If you plan to raise outside capital, Delaware is typically the right choice.
Delaware charges an annual franchise tax on LLCs of $300/year (flat fee). Corporations are taxed differently — either by authorized shares or assumed par value capital method, which can range from $175 to significantly more for large corporations. Our compliance plans cover the franchise tax payment so you never miss a deadline.
No. Delaware does not require member or manager names to be listed in the Certificate of Formation. NestEgg.Global appears as the organizer on your filing, keeping your identity completely private in public records.
Yes. Delaware LLCs can be owned and managed by residents of any US state or foreign country. Delaware imposes no residency requirement. You never need to visit Delaware to form or operate your LLC. If you conduct business in your home state, you may need to register as a foreign LLC there.
The Court of Chancery is Delaware's specialized business court — a court of equity with no juries, staffed by expert judges (called "Vice Chancellors") who handle only corporate and business disputes. It is widely regarded as the most sophisticated and business-friendly court in the United States, delivering fast and predictable rulings.
Yes. Non-US citizens and non-residents can form and own a Delaware LLC. Our International package includes a Foreign EIN and apostilled documents suitable for international banking and cross-border use. Note that US tax reporting obligations may apply depending on your structure and activities.
It depends on your goals. A Delaware LLC offers pass-through taxation, flexible management, and fewer formalities — ideal for holding companies, real estate, and privacy-focused owners. A Delaware C-Corporation is preferred for venture-backed startups planning to issue equity, raise VC funding, or eventually go public. We can help you understand the differences, but recommend consulting your attorney or CPA for your specific situation.
You will need your Certificate of Formation, Operating Agreement, EIN, and a bank account resolution letter (included in all packages). Our Professional and International packages include EIN obtainment. We also offer Banking Introduction services to connect you with EMI and fintech-friendly institutions that work with Delaware entities.
An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a federal tax ID issued by the IRS. You need one to open a US bank account, hire employees, or file federal taxes. US residents can obtain one free from the IRS; non-US residents require a different process. Our Professional and International packages include EIN obtainment on your behalf.
