Delaware · LLC Formation
A Delaware LLC built to hold up — not a $0 filing with a generic template.
The filing is the easy part. What protects you is an Operating Agreement drafted to your real structure, the EIN done right, the BOI report filed, and a bank account you can actually open as a foreign founder. We handle all of it. From $695 attorney fee + $110 Delaware state filing fee — registered agent year one included.

Your request
We check availability in Delaware and suggest alternatives if it is taken.
This shapes your Operating Agreement and default tax treatment — single-member is taxed as a sole proprietorship, multi-member as a partnership.
This affects how fast we can get your EIN (1-2 days with an SSN, 4-6 weeks without) and which banks you can use.
A short description of your business activity. Helps with any licensing and the S-corp question below.
Electing S-corp status can lower self-employment tax for profitable LLCs. We file Form 2553 if it fits your situation.
Frequently asked
The questions clients actually ask.
- Delaware vs. Wyoming vs. my home state?
- Delaware: gold standard for VC-backed startups (Court of Chancery, sophisticated case law, investor expectations). Wyoming: cheapest, most private, no state income tax — good for solo founders and holding companies. Home state: simplest if you're operating in one US state with no fundraising plans. We discuss the trade-offs on the consultation call.
- Can a non-US person form a Delaware LLC?
- Yes. Non-US individuals can be the sole owner of a Delaware LLC. You'll need an EIN (which takes 4-6 weeks via fax for non-US founders, or 1-2 days if you have a US-based co-founder with SSN/ITIN). Bank account opening is the hardest step — many US banks won't open for non-US founders, but Mercury, Brex, and Wise will.
- Single-member vs. multi-member LLC — what's different?
- Single-member LLCs are disregarded entities for federal tax purposes (taxed as sole proprietorship by default). Multi-member LLCs are taxed as partnerships by default. Both can elect S-Corp or C-Corp taxation by filing Form 2553 or Form 8832. We discuss the right tax election during formation.
- What's the BOI report and do I need to file?
- Beneficial Ownership Information report under the Corporate Transparency Act (effective 2024). Most US LLCs must report beneficial owners (anyone with 25%+ ownership or substantial control) to FinCEN within 30 days of formation. We file this as part of the formation package.
