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 open as a foreign founder. We handle all of it — Certificate of Formation, registered agent for year one, Operating Agreement, and EIN — on a flat attorney fee, with the Delaware state filing fee passed through at cost.

How it works
A 30-minute call to settle the structure. Single-member or multi-member? A holding company or an operating LLC? Is an S-Corp election right for you? We check name availability in Delaware and confirm the setup before anything is filed.
We file the Certificate of Formation with the Delaware Division of Corporations — standard processing runs 24 to 48 hours, with expedite available. Alongside it, we draft an Operating Agreement to your actual ownership and control structure, single-member or multi-member.
We file the EIN application with the IRS — one to two days with a US co-founder, longer for non-US founders — and file the FinCEN Beneficial Ownership report where required. Then we guide bank-account opening through Mercury, Brex, or Wise.
What it costs
Delaware LLC Formation is $695. Delaware LLC formation is a flat attorney fee, confirmed in writing before any work begins — no per-hour billing and no quote after the fact. It covers the Certificate of Formation, an Operating Agreement drafted to your structure, the EIN, the BOI filing where required, and registered-agent service for year one. The $110 Delaware state filing fee is passed through at cost, and recurring items — the annual franchise tax and agent renewal from year two — are shown up front.
What's included
Government and state fees — the Delaware filing fee, the annual franchise tax, and registered-agent renewals — are passed through at cost and shown before you pay. The registration is granted by the Delaware Division of Corporations, not by GTC; we don't provide investment or tax advice and coordinate a tax adviser where one is needed.

Brand details
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.
Why GTC
The filing creates the shell; the Operating Agreement is what governs it. We draft yours to your real ownership, management, and transfer terms — not a one-size template that fails the moment a co-founder leaves or an investor reads it.
We file the SS-4 with the IRS and handle the longer non-US path so the EIN is correct the first time. That number is the gate to a US bank account, Stripe, and payroll, so a clean EIN matters.
Most US LLCs must report beneficial owners to FinCEN under the Corporate Transparency Act. We file the Beneficial Ownership Information report as part of formation, so a missed federal deadline never becomes your problem.
Year-one registered agent is included, and we map your ongoing Delaware obligations — the annual franchise tax and agent renewal — up front, so the entity stays in good standing rather than slipping into the void.

Your Operating Agreement is drafted to your structure, and the FinCEN Beneficial Ownership Information report is filed where it is required.
