Yes. Having and retaining a registered agent in the State of Delaware is mandatory to all business entities.
Note that the registered agent is required to have a local physical address in the state.
Is my company information in Delaware kept confidential?
Yes. Delaware laws provide companies registered in the State with a high level of privacy. This means all relevant identities and personal details of privately held corporate business owners are not made publicly available. Names, addresses of Delaware LLC’s members and managers are kept undisclosed as well.
Do I need a business license to sell online in Delaware?
Yes, acquiring a business license is essential for every business operating in the state of Delaware. Online businesses may only be required to obtain the Delaware state business license because Delaware has no sales tax. If you also need a local license for your online business, check with your city or county.
Do I need a business bank account for Amazon FBA?
While it is not required, there are several benefits to doing so. A Delaware business bank account helps with organization and record-keeping for your business expenses and income, it can also provide added credibility when working with potential partners or investors, and so on.
Do I need a business license to sell on Etsy in Delaware?
In Delaware, it is required to have a business license if you are conducting any type of business activity, including selling on Etsy.
Can I open an LLC in Delaware without living there?
Yes, you can form a Delaware LLC without living in the state or even the United States. Delaware law allows non-residents to establish and own LLCs, and this is why it became a popular choice for international entrepreneurs and investors. However, every Delaware LLC is required to have a registered agent with a physical address in Delaware to receive legal and official documents. You can hire BBCIncorp as your professional registered agent service to meet this requirement.
Once the LLC is formed, non-resident owners can manage the company remotely, open bank accounts, and conduct business globally.
