Establishing a company in Delaware
Delaware stands as one of the most prominent and trusted jurisdictions for business incorporation in the United States and globally. Known for its flexible corporate statutes, efficient administration, and business-friendly legal environment, the state is home to over half of all publicly traded U.S. companies and more than 65% of Fortune 500 corporations. Major enterprises across diverse sectors—technology, consumer goods, finance, and more—have chosen Delaware for its legal and structural advantages.
A key reason for Delaware’s enduring popularity is its specialized judiciary, particularly the Delaware Court of Chancery. Established in 1792, it is the oldest court in the U.S. focused exclusively on corporate and fiduciary matters. Unlike other courts, it operates without juries and is presided over by expert judges who deliver detailed, precedent-setting opinions. This judicial structure contributes to a high degree of legal predictability, making it easier for companies to assess risk and resolve disputes efficiently. Delaware’s extensive body of case law fosters stability and reduces uncertainty, particularly in complex transactions such as mergers and acquisitions.
The Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) is another cornerstone of the state’s corporate appeal. It provides businesses with broad discretion in designing governance and capital structures. A single individual can act as sole shareholder, director, and officer, making it ideal for startups and small enterprises. The law also allows for significant indemnification protections for directors and officers, encouraging skilled professionals to take on leadership roles without undue fear of liability.
Delaware’s tax regime is especially favorable to companies conducting business outside the state. Corporations with no in-state operations are not subject to Delaware income tax on out-of-state earnings. Additionally, there are no taxes on intangible assets like trademarks or copyrights, no sales tax, and no inheritance or stock transfer taxes for non-residents. These advantages have made Delaware a preferred jurisdiction for holding companies, IP ownership, and investment structures.
Delaware also offers privacy and administrative efficiency. Only minimal information is required in public filings, preserving confidentiality for shareholders and managers. Incorporation can typically be completed within a day, and the state offers expedited services for urgent needs. Fees and franchise taxes are moderate, particularly for entities with small capital bases.
Delaware Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) are especially favored for their contractual flexibility, minimal formalities, and liability protections. A Delaware LLC can be formed by a single member who also acts as manager, without the need for directors, officers, or public disclosure of ownership. Internal governance is dictated by a private LLC Agreement, allowing members to structure ownership, profit-sharing, and control in a highly customized manner. This has made Delaware LLCs attractive for international professionals, digital entrepreneurs, and those managing cross-border investments or intellectual property.
Tax-wise, Delaware LLCs benefit from pass-through treatment by default under U.S. federal law—income flows to members without being taxed at the entity level. For non-U.S. members, only U.S.-source income is typically taxable in the U.S.
Delaware’s low compliance burden, flexible legal framework, and international credibility make its LLCs and corporations valuable tools for a wide range of business strategies—from venture-backed startups to asset holding and online commerce. While incorporation does not exempt a business from complying with laws in other jurisdictions where it operates, Delaware remains a premier choice for forming a legally sound, scalable, and investor-friendly business entity.
