Frequently Asked Questions
Why do so many companies choose Delaware?
Delaware has the Court of Chancery (a specialized business court), 200+ years of corporate law precedent, and the most flexible business laws in the country. This makes legal outcomes predictable.
Is Delaware good for small businesses?
Delaware is excellent for businesses planning to raise capital or go public. For small businesses with no such plans, Wyoming or your home state may be more cost-effective due to Delaware's $300 annual franchise tax.
What is the franchise tax?
Delaware charges a minimum $300/year franchise tax for LLCs, regardless of income. This is higher than most states but comes with the benefits of Delaware's business-friendly legal system.
How long does Delaware formation take?
Standard processing is 2-3 weeks. Expedited options are available: 24-hour ($100), same-day ($500), and 2-hour ($1,000).
