US (Delaware)

The Gold Standard for US Business

Delaware is widely regarded as the most business-friendly state in the US, home to more than 60% of Fortune 500 companies. Its Court of Chancery — a specialized business court — provides predictable, expert rulings on corporate matters. For non-US residents, Delaware offers unmatched legal sophistication, strong asset protection, and the prestige that comes with incorporating in America's corporate capital. Both LLC and Corporation structures are available.
