Why choose Delaware
Six Reasons Delaware Works
Harder for Your Business
Delaware's legal advantages aren't just for Fortune 500 companies. We make them accessible to every business, at every stage.
Asset Protection
The charging order is the exclusive remedy for creditors. They cannot seize your LLC, force liquidation, or take over operations.
Learn more →Court of Chancery
The world's most respected business court. No juries. Specialized judges. 130+ years of consistent, predictable case law.
Learn more →Complete Privacy
Delaware does not require LLC member or manager names in any public filing. Only your registered agent appears on the record.
Learn more →Investor Credibility
VCs, PE firms, and institutional lenders prefer Delaware. Many VC funds require Delaware for funding consideration.

No Delaware income tax on out-of-state income. No sales tax. Delaware holding companies can own IP and collect royalties tax-efficiently.
