On: Lead Thinking - Incorporating a LLC

[SingAlong]

Delaware imposes no state income tax on a business that does not operate within the state.

Does this mean that I can incorporate there and run the business with a physical presence from some other country?

Yes. I am a UK citizen, and run my US LLC from the UK. It's possible to do everything as a non resident alien, but complicated. I'll be posting more on leadthinking.com about how to get a bank/merchant account.

It certainly sounds like that's the case, based on this sentence from the article:

I recommend getting a firm to do it for you, especially if it’s your first time, or you’re outside the US.

That would be phreaking awesome, I wondered if that was possible for years.

Yes, but you will still pay taxes in that other country. In fact, most states other than Delaware will also not charge you income taxes if you incorporate there but not not earn money in that state.
