One of my companies does a lot of shipping with other companies and is registered in Delaware. This means that when I ship to/from another company the shipping laws (see FOB, etc.) are the same for both of us; we both know what to expect without having to investigate case law etc. Having common law is gold sometimes. However, all my taxes are paid in Missouri because we operate in Missouri.
I know that many people incorporate in Nevada for the anonymity. Many wealthy people with expensive exotic cars put their cars title in a Montana company with a Montana license plate. Most people starting small companies don't know that they can incorporate out of state. Or even out of the country. Thanks.
Delaware also is where foreign businesses incorporate. Such as the Dutch Shult Rector otherwise known as the German Legal Aid Society a/k/a The Legal Aid Society.
Have any of you been to the TOTAL WINE store (a HUGE liquor store which includes a wonderful cigar selection!) in Claymont, DE right by the border with Pennsylvania? Shopping there is even more fun because of the lack of sales tax! There also is a Home Depot next door, which is a nice bonus!
Hey Delaware, focus on getting rid of the freaking NO FAULT DIVORCE LAW. It's ridiculous to award unfaithful, loser spouses monetarily. In Delaware you can get well paid for adultery if you are the financially under performing spouse. Disgraceful.
The moving and shifting of US multionationals is a redicilous cost for the average US taxpayer in that specific state. I don't even understand why the US would allow these practices.
@@thisguyhere1 Because HQ of major corporations require substansial infrastructural investments, which are being payed by the taxpayer to build and maintain them. US internationals barely pay any tax.
So.. let me get straight.. you can change your house and neighborhood if you want/need to, without think how that may effect you neighbors, but company’s cannot change they HQ?
@@thisguyhere1 remember the 2 billion tax credit Amazon asked NY to build their second headquarters there? Georgia gave it to them, now they suspended the construction.
@@mvaraman building a headquarter has nothing to do with incorporating. u can register your business in any state, and build your headquarter or business in any state you want.
It should be illegal for every state to conceal who their shareholders are! The Delaware legal industry and the corporate lobbyists will fight this tooth and nail, but we have to do this for the sake of income inequality and the people. Only when we are able to find the assets of the rich, are we able to properly tax the rich pay their fair share!
It may be good for businesses, but it sure ain’t good for job growth. I’m a Delaware resident here with a Bachelor’s in media design and I haven’t had an inch of luck in finding a decent position that benefits from the degree.
um, yeah a small state that specializes in corporate regulation lacks job diversity, that's how the world works. i would think you would need to go to a place with a major media industry to get a decent job in media design. people gotta move for jobs, all those DE-residing corporate lawyers were not born there.
Yes but it’s legally incorporated in Delaware so they can access their unique court system and protection of their more favorable business laws. A lot of companies do that
I like how they squeezed shell corporations in as a subtext. They're great for business legal or not. If the incorporated businesses decided to leave, almost a third of tax revenue is gone. Makes sense to legalize sports gambling and marijuana to hedge those bets they will stay. Just in case.
It seems strange for me that other states and the federal government are okay with one small state attracting so many companies by undercutting the standards that are in place in other states. That reminds me of places like Monaco or Dubai which attract rich people by not having an income tax. We can't to anything against Monaco, but why would you tolerate such an unfair rival in your own country? Are states free to set their own rules? Consumer protection should always be prioritized. It should not be possible to create a company without legally liable people behind it. Otherwise you could just create ten companies and if one is sued for millions, you just let that one get bankrupt and still have the other nine.
agree that other states should fight back and I think Delaware courts should face scrutiny in SCOTUS for overstepping their authority involving foreign entities but there are 10th amendment states rights but you are correct about this being not good in fact, it's a lot worse already than people think; ii allows a cesspit of criminal, deep state, adversarial foreign shell companies to avoid scrutiny
I am sure of what this video is saying. eventually it does not say any important positive things. it only says the law is favorable to business. I am sure it is but what examples you can give? I still don't know how it benefits the business
They have “special” corporation courts, other states do not. So, corporations are being “serviced” by the Delaware chancellory court. Much like our Supreme Court that classified citizens as consumers regulated by legalese corporate arbitration clauses, and then classified corporations as citizens. That was a work around for finance controlled businesses that wanted torte reform that could not get through Congress, because factually the court took our constitutional rights away in everything we do. They should be impeached, but of course they gave themselves immunity when Reagan was president. Isn’t the history of corruption in government fun!🤑
I always wondered this. Half the mail I get is usually from Delaware lol. Its a nice state I went there summer 2021, drove around stayed in Dover for a few days, went to a couple beaches. Had a nice burger from this chain restaurant (forgot the name), went to a popular casino near the nascar raceway. Calm state but wouldn’t want to live there longterm.
Updating laws based on new experiences and new findings. Smart people. Our founding fathers were not necessarily smarter than us, they didn’t have a lot of information. Let’s be honest and stop with the nostalgia
I live in London, England and my company is registered here. It is a global business would it benefit me to incorporate in Delaware? Primarily I need to secure funding.
@@Viviko yes, but it is evading and defrauding the state where you REALLY operate. Like incorporating in the Bahamas, legal, but you're not paying taxes in your country of operation.
@@Domspun You actually have to get a foreign certificate of registration in your state regardless of where you incorporated if you incorporated out of state. It doesn't help you avoid that.
A rather "on the surface" report on Delaware. It's like saying people choose swiss banks because the swiss alps are nice and the government is stable, laws are predictable and the swiss franc is a security deposit. No you go to swiss banks because there are bank secrecy laws. And the same applies to Delaware. The State doesn't even know who is in charge of companies. There are more companies registred in Delaware than people. And this means it's a very nice place to incorporate your Cartell in some shell companies and launder your money. On top of that some favorable tax schemes which can be easely exploit so that you do not even pay taxes.
1) Delaware has relatively lax laws about corporate management, giving the board a ton of power and autonomy. This may come as at the expense of employees, investors, and other stakeholders in the company. 2) People are familiar with Delaware law, and it takes effort to learn about the laws in other states. 3) Unique court system specifically for corporations allow legal disputes to be resolved more rapidly and possibly more favorably for the companies. 4) History and precedent, as well as a reputation for being business friendly
Delaware is a crap hole. Do not live here. Rents are ridiculous, landlords are nuts, and the requirements to be considered for a pest infested studio apartment are beyond any reasonable expectation. Then theres the driver who dont use turn signals and drive 30 over the speed limit on the shoulders just to get to exits. Whole state is trash.
I tried looking up the positives. I couldn't find anything that would be beneficial for the average taxpayer. Can you elaborate on what exactly are the positives that come with limited liability?
Delaware will let credit card companies stay there with unscrupulous practices, a labor pool made servants to high cost of living, corporations love when you have to be employed and cannot afford to be in between jobs to find a better job
Delaware is not what it used to be, look at the Tesla legal issues which would never have been overturned on Texas. Expect some large companies to start to move away from Delaware!

what did you have for lunch Tom?
thanks for sharing Tom, very cool
Yes! As a former Delaware resident, explaining that the courts are the draw and not the taxes is so hard for people to get.
Delaware DOES have a state income tax. They don't have any SALES tax. Get it straight CNBC.
All these corporations I grew in Wilmington, DE it was a very dangerous city high poverty. The regular people never sees the benefits.
One of my companies does a lot of shipping with other companies and is registered in Delaware. This means that when I ship to/from another company the shipping laws (see FOB, etc.) are the same for both of us; we both know what to expect without having to investigate case law etc. Having common law is gold sometimes.
