Learning About Delaware


Delaware has long been a great place to incorporate in. In fact, over half
of the Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware. The reasons for
Delaware popularity are many:
  1. The cost to incorporate in Delaware is one of the lowest in the country.
    .
  2. There is no corporate income tax for corporations incorporated
    in Delaware but not transacting business in the state.

  3. Delaware maintains a separate corporate law court system, called
    the Delaware Court of Chancery, that does not use juries, but only uses
    judges appointed for their knowledge of corporate law.

  4. One person can hold all officer positions of the
    corporation-president, secretary, and treasurer-and serve as the sole
    director. These names are not required to be listed in the articles of
    incorporation.

  5. Shareholders, directors, and officers of the corporation need
    not be residents of Delaware.

  6. Shares of stock owned by persons outside of Delaware are not subject
    to Delaware taxes.


HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO INCORPORATE IN DELAWARE?

    After we receive a paid order for a Delaware corporation, we will reserve the name with the state within 24 working hours. The articles of incorporation are prepared and filed from our Delaware office and the state typically approves within 24 to 72 hours from the time you placed your order. After the state approves your filing, corporate existence begins for your corporation. The paperwork will be in your hands in 2 to 3 weeks for a regular filing and about one week for an expedited filing.
