Delaware

The state of Delaware on the Atlantic coast has extremely liberal corporate law. The highest commercial court, the Delaware Court of Chancery, also works very efficiently and has a long tradition and experience in international business transactions. The special thing about incorporating in Delaware is that the company only has to have its legal headquarters there. The physical location may be in any other state or outside the United States. Delaware is the US state with by far the highest number of registered corporations. The main reason for this is that Delaware has the most favorable corporate law for companies of all US states. The commercial registry in Delaware also offers an even higher level of discretion and confidentiality than other US states.

Neither the owners nor the managing directors necessarily have to be published in the commercial register. Only a so-called registered agent must be present, so that both the owner and the managing director cannot be publicly viewed and no information about this is provided to American or foreign authorities.
