Tiny Little Delaware is a Banking Giant!

A little known fact: Every year, tens of thousands of American and International entrepreneurs open a business bank account with FDIC insured banks in the state of Delaware.

How can this be explained?

The same dynamics that attract business owners to form Delaware corporate entities also draw entrepreneurs to the state’s major banking institutions. These factors include :

• The prestige of being legally and financially domiciled in a jurisdiction that is respected by the global business community.
• Highly favorable tax treatment for companies that incorporate in Delaware and generate their revenues outside the state.
• Full confidentiality for the Directors of incorporated entities that are formed in Delaware.

Once you decide to form a Delaware Corporation (or Limited Liability Company), you should review your banking needs in Delaware. Companies that hold a corporate bank account in Delaware are typically involved in the broad areas of business activity listed below:
A) Independent contract work (consultants , designers, travel agents...)
B) International trade (import - export)
C) Non-U.S. firms that seek a North American financial presence for their companies.
D) Internet and Mail Order sales firms
E) Publishing companies
F) Investment firms
G) Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations firms

There are also a host of financially oriented companies from around the world who seek the privacy and favorable tax treatment of operating out of Delaware.
