Coddan is a Reregistered Agent for Delaware Corporations and Limited Liability Companies. Delaware LLC and LLP Formations
Welcome to the State of Delaware company formation division of Coddan. If you think of Coddan as just an ordinary Delaware company's incorporator, think again. Our office is dealing with individual business solutions since 1993. Starting with basic incorporation services to reduce personal liability over concepts to reduce taxation up to very especial business licenses - we are your partners! Success starts right where you're standing. It's true. It is our mission to provide our customers with the most efficient and accurate service, focusing on quality and customer service, while maintaining a personal touch not found within this industry. What we do is creating a bridge between opportunity and success. Let us form your Corporation, Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) or Limited Liability Company (LLC) in Delaware or the state of your choice.
Key to your Delaware incorporation is your research and review of the various forms of formation options and how each business incorporation structure differs in form, purpose and regulatory requirements. Your Delaware formation options include for profit corporate structures such as the standard C Corporation or the related Subchapter S Corporation, or for special purpose entities the non-profit incorporation, or the somewhat new and highly flexible Limited Liability Company or LLC formation option. Equally true, Delaware incorporation to an overseas person or firm would potentially be a practical move when considering offshore formation in the widest international context of competing jurisdictions.
In order to meet the standards of law and regulation and conduct business as a Delaware formation entity, you'll need to provide your small business incorporation specialist with a summary description of the purpose of your company in order for that same purpose be reflected in the Article of Incorporation documents supporting your formation filing. The benefit of incorporation for business founders like yourself is that it gives you the legal business to conduct business in Delaware and elsewhere. Critically, a major additional benefit of incorporation is that you separate out and shield your personal assets (cash and bank deposits, securities, autos, real property) from the actions and liabilities associated with the corporation's creditors and any potential future lawsuit and attempt to gain recovery of corporate obligations through a court order. Shareholder indemnification qualifies in most situations other than situations involving fraud.
All our Delaware companies are general trading companies which include search name availability for your Delaware Corporation. Preparation and filing of Certificate of Incorporation with state office. Our incorporation service and State filing fees. Certified Copy of the Certificate of Incorporation. Delaware Resident Agent for 12 months. Registered Address in the State of Delaware for 12 months. Delivery Certified Copy of the Certificate of Incorporation is delivered as hard copy by post. The following documents will be delivered via E-Mail: a professionally-prepared 20 page Delaware Corporation By-laws ready-for-signature (Word. format). Minutes or Consents Documentation of Organizational Meeting.
THE FOLLOWING UPGRADES CAN BE ADDED TO THE ABOVE PACKAGE:
1. Nominee Director service for 12 months - £140.00 2. Nominee Shareholder service for 12 months - £94.00 3. Apostilled Certificate of Good Standing - £125.00 4. Apostilled Certificate of Incorporation - £110.00
Many US non-residents are forming companies in the State of Delaware, some of which are operating within the country, others of which are operating entirely outside. With the proliferation of the Internet, many non-US citizens are forming US companies to own their web sites even though they have no tangible connection with the US other than the registration of their company. In general, there are no citizenship or residency requirements to forming a company in the US. However, there are several factors that should be considered. Most states will not require disclosure of Director information at the time of formation but almost all will ask for this information at the time of filing the next year's Annual Report. Please ask about our nominee services if appropriate.
For many people, pass-through taxation, or the ability to have their entity treated as a non-tax-paying (transparent) entity is important. For US non-residents, use of an S Corporation is not possible because one of the requirements of becoming an S Corporation is that all shareholders must be US residents. This objective can be achieved by forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) instead of a corporation. For a corporation formed in the US, there is an absolute requirement that it file a US tax return regardless of whether there is US income. In contrast, the LLC is taxed as a partnership and the partners (principals) must file and pay individual US taxes only if they operate a trade or business in the US or if they have US-source (effectively-connected) income.
Services Office & Domiciliation Agreement facility: Under this agreement your non-resident LLC (this service is not suitable for domestic LLCs) will be managed from Cyprus or Gibraltar, with administrative and invoicing functions being carried out through a locally tax exempt company including the maintenance of company accounts to trial balance. Services Office & Domiciliation Agreement facility are particularly useful as they break the link between a beneficial owners' country of residence and the LLC's administrative functions but yet allow for the owner to have control through a power of attorney.
Full branch registration in Cyprus: This service includes the registration of your chosen non-resident LLC company as a branch in Cyprus. In simple terms, all activities of the company will be conducted through the branch. Under current legislation, the branch of a non-resident LLC will be fully exempt from normal Cypriot tax, but will generally benefit from Cyprus's double taxation treaty network, EU directives/regulations and a VAT rate of only 15%. The governing instrument will be a version of the full management agreement and will include liaising with the Cypriot tax authorities and obtaining a Cyprus VAT number. Many people chose to register a Cyprus branch of an American non-resident LLC because of Delaware's good reputation, the fact that a branch does not have to be capitalised and that whilst resident in Cyprus, the internal governing law of the company is that of the appropriate American state of registration, which will be far more developed and user friendly than that of most civil law jurisdictions. As an alternative to Cyprus, the Coddan can provide branch registration and full management services through the offices of its legally qualified partners in Seychelles.
