- chapill 9y ago50% of the companies in the US incorporate in Delaware. Is that also tail wagging the dog? https://www.delawareinc.com/corporation/ https://www.delawareinc.com/corporation/
- gowld 9y agoThey don't move to Delaware, they just file paperwork there.
- crusso 9y agoOne doesn't move to Delaware simply to register a company there.
- chapill 9y agoRelocate the company, not yourself. I expected the part of my post about working remotely to highlight that.
- ericd 9y agoNo, because there are very good reasons to incorporate in Delaware. I would infinitely prefer to try to sell or get investment in a Delaware C corp than I would in an Estonian company, even if it didn't involve living in Estonia. Getting sued by patent trolls is just such a minor consideration in founding a company, it's not even worth thinking about.
