Re incorporation alone: I 100% agree with you, incorporating alone is relatively easy! Sure it might be a bit of a headache to do the paper work but its but it's the ongoing compliance/filings that can be the true headache. We hope to offer everything that an SMB needs in-house through StartPack so that it's hassle free to have a solution right away. But even if we can't provide the solution, we'll partner / find someone who can help! For example, we get asked all the time about "trademarks" which is something we can't do but we then go out and do research on who can so we can help people find a solution for this!
Re Delaware C Corps: If we don't believe we can offer the best long-term value then again, although we could help people "form C Corps" easily, we wouldn't be the best long-term partner. For example, someone forming a C Corp might be doing so to raise US venture capital! And if this is the case, at some point in the future (or right away) they will likely need legal counsel to help them finalize their round, update fundraising documents, review legal templates etc! Examples of some of these documents might be board consents, SAFE templates, offer letters, advisor or consulting agreements, restricted stock issuances, NDAs and more. And examples of maintenance that might need to be done could be adding or removing directors, making changes to your number of authorized shares etc.
If you are forming a Delaware C Corp some options are Clerky, Gust Launch, Stripe Atlas and of course, if you are going to need US legal counsel, then your legal counsel can also help you form your C Corp too!
