Delaware is the US standard for business law. Choose it if you plan to raise from US investors or want Delaware's business courts. We form it, get your EIN and set up US banking, from $499 a year.
Why Delaware
You pay more each year for law and credibility that investors recognise.
Decades of case law and a dedicated business court make Delaware the default for US lawyers.
US investors know Delaware. Converting to a C-Corp later is a well-worn path.
Delaware LLCs pay a flat annual tax instead of filing an annual report.
Bootstrapped and selling online? Wyoming is usually cheaper.
Choosing a State
Three states non-resident founders actually use. State fees are included in every GenZone plan.
How It Works
Fully remote. 7–10 business days start to finish.
Passport copy, company name and what your business does.
Articles filed, registered agent assigned, operating agreement drafted.
Your federal tax ID, no SSN needed, plus your full document pack.
US business account, debit card, Stripe and PayPal activated.
Your Delaware LLC, EIN and bank, live in 7–10 business days.
Is It Right for You?
Delaware pays off when credibility and investors matter more than the yearly fee.
Expect angels or funds later and want an easy path to a C-Corp.
Enterprise buyers and their lawyers expect Delaware.
Partners who want proven rules for disputes and governance.
You pay more for benefits you will not use. Wyoming fits better.
