Delaware LLC vs C-Corp — what Indian founders need to know
Delaware is Most Preferred
Delaware LLC and C-Corp are the most widely used structures by US and global businesses.
C-Corp for VC Funding
US venture capitalists require a Delaware C-Corp — not an LLC — for investment.
LLC for Flexibility
LLC is simpler, has pass-through taxation and is preferred for consulting and services businesses.
EIN is Mandatory
Required for opening a US bank account, signing contracts, hiring employees and filing US taxes.
Registered Agent Required
Every US state requires a registered agent with a physical US address — cannot be the company itself.
Annual Franchise Tax
Delaware charges an annual franchise tax (LLC: US$300; C-Corp: variable based on shares).
Indian founders using a US holding company must comply with FEMA in India. Any investment from the Indian entity into the US entity, or any remittance from India to fund US operations, must comply with the Overseas Direct Investment (ODI) rules under FEMA. We advise on the India-US structure before filing.
