Delaware Companies — SEC EDGAR Data

Delaware is the incorporation capital of the world — over 1.8 million legal entities are registered here, including 68% of Fortune 500 companies. The Delaware Court of Chancery, predictable corporate law, and lack of state corporate income tax for out-of-state revenue make it the default choice for startups, PE-backed firms, and public companies.

Incorporation note — Most popular state for incorporation — no state corporate tax on out-of-state income, flexible corporate law, specialized Court of Chancery.
