Incorporate in Delaware

One of the major reasons to incorporate a business is that it allows you to avoid most personal liability and protect your assets from potential lawsuits related to your business. Additional reasons include tax savings, increased business credibility and ability to raise capital, and more.

One of the most popular reasons to incorporate in Delaware is because of its favorable tax policies, which include no corporate income tax for companies doing business outside of Delaware, no sales tax, personal property tax or intangible property tax on corporations. Also, the state of Delaware affords its corporations a great deal of privacy by allowing them to keep all of their books and records outside of Delaware.
