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.

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.

Learn more →

Tax Efficiency

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

Maximum Flexibility

Delaware's LLC Act is the most flexible in the nation. Customize governance, modify fiduciary duties, set any distribution structure.
