Delaware is a popular state for entrepreneurs who want to start an LLC.
It has predictable, business-friendly laws and an affordable and easy LLC formation process.
But before you start an LLC in Delaware, you must fulfill some unique requirements.
Registering with the division of corporations, paying the required fees, meeting all naming information prerequisites… there’s much to be done.
Below, I’ve created a step-by-step guide to help you start a Delaware LLC and get your business up and running.
Read on for everything you need to know to get started.
The Good Parts of Starting an LLC in Delaware
Unlike in some states, owner information is kept confidential in Delaware.
You don’t have to disclose anything about yourself or other owners. If anyone tries to find out information about your financial situation or tries to sue you, they cannot learn about your ownership interest by checking the Delaware LLC records.
The simplicity of the LLC formation process is another benefit.
You only have to file a Certificate of Formation with the Division of Corporation and pay a nominal filing fee. Plus, many LLC services like IncFile offer well-rounded LLC services in the state, further reducing any stress on your part. I’ll discuss this in more detail later.
