Delaware LLC formation
Form an LLC in Delaware.
Delaware is the most common state for US-investor-backed companies, largely due to its specialized business court (the Court of Chancery) and well-established corporate law. Filed in 1–3 business days.

Why founders choose Delaware
What a Delaware LLC gives you.
1
The standard for US venture capital
Most US VCs and angel investors expect a Delaware entity before investing — either an LLC that converts later, or a Delaware C-Corp from the start. Forming here early avoids restructuring during a fundraise.
2
The Court of Chancery
Delaware has a specialized court that hears only business disputes, decided by judges rather than juries, with over a century of case law. This predictability is a major reason investors default to Delaware.
3
No Delaware sales tax
Delaware charges no state sales tax, which simplifies compliance for businesses selling physical or digital goods, though this doesn't exempt you from tax obligations in states where you have customers or a physical presence.
Worth knowing before you choose
Delaware's $300/year LLC tax is a flat fee regardless of revenue — higher than Wyoming's $60/year for a business not planning to raise US venture capital. If investor expectations aren't a factor for you, Wyoming is the lower-cost option.

FAQ
Questions about Delaware LLCs.
Specific answers for forming and running an LLC in Delaware.
View full pricing →Do I need to live in Delaware to form an LLC there?
No. Delaware has no residency requirement. You need a Registered Agent with a Delaware address, which RazorFile provides as part of formation.
Should I form an LLC or a C-Corp in Delaware?
If you're planning to raise US venture capital, most investors specifically expect a Delaware C-Corp, not an LLC. If you're not raising VC funding yet, an LLC is simpler and can convert to a C-Corp later when needed.
Why does Delaware cost more per year than Wyoming?
Delaware's $300 annual LLC tax is a flat fee unrelated to revenue, set by the state. Wyoming's equivalent annual report fee is $60. The trade-off is Delaware's investor familiarity and legal precedent versus Wyoming's lower ongoing cost.
Can a non-US resident form a Delaware LLC?
Yes. Non-US founders regularly form Delaware entities, particularly when planning to raise from US investors — no US visa or residency is required, only a Registered Agent in the state.
Do I need to understand US legal paperwork?
No. RazorFile keeps the process plain-language and organised so you know what is needed, what is paid, and what happens next at every stage of your order.
What is a Registered Agent and do I need one?
A Registered Agent is required for every US LLC, regardless of where you live. They receive official government and legal correspondence on your company's behalf at a physical address in your formation state. RazorFile provides this service.
