As a lawyer with a former corporate law practice, for one of my side projects I created a legal service company (ameristartup.com). AmeriStartup takes the legalzoom concept, but tailored incorporation/compliance "packages" specifically for Delaware Corporations and then beat legalzoom on their prices. Great service, better value, addresses real world problems yet zero traction.
I even reached out to YC direct to try to offer the incorporation/compliance/registered agent services to YC companies at a discount, I never heard back. I think a YC company (Clerky) did/does the something similar and may already provide YC companies with these services.
- opendais 12y agoI'm slightly concerned you are promoting this without mentioning the fact that any 'tech' company is going to need to register as a foreign entity in their home state as the salary for a single engineer is going to qualify you as 'doing business' in that state, especially if you also have any sales in that state.
- will_brown 12y agoI offer 3 services: Incorporation; Annual Compliance; Qualification. Under Qualification on the home page it reads: Make sure your Delaware Corporation is qualified in every State your Startup is physically present. I will add that on my Learn More page, but do you have any other suggestions to highlight that issue as it is on the Home page already?
- opendais 12y agoAh, I only looked at the Incorporation Page. Oops. :)
- will_brown 12y agoNot an oops at all you provided valuable feedback. I will add some verbiage on the incorporation page about the need to qualify to do business in other states. Thanks.
