What's the cheapest and easiest way to register a company? I was thinking of registering a LLC in Delaware. Are there any additional costs apart from the 75$ required to register the name.

    The easiest way to set up an LLC is to go directly through your accountant. Places like legal zoom are okay but they expedite the process and continuously try to upgrade your package which could become costly. It's just better to do it through your accountant. Or you could always file the paperwork yourself (obviously it's the cheapest). LLCs are easier to set up as well and generally take less time to complete. A lot of companies set up in Delaware due to the tax benefits, but you should always look into where you set it up and where you are operating from ... You could get hit with more taxes.

    I have done with 3 other friends (not based in CA though). As fyLH38 said, work with your Accountant. We did file for LLC but your accountant can help you decide best type of corp to file for.

    Make sure there's a good reason for filing in Delaware. Typically people file their corp in Delaware due to their robust precedence of case law for corps. Not so much of an advantage for LLCs.

    Feel free to ping me if you're looking for more info.

    Corporate.com. Yes, there's an annual registered agent fee since you don't live in the state, and there's an annual report fee each year to renew. Both are affordable.

      Corporate.com (don't buy the extra stuff, JUST the incorporation package) charges $99 above the state filing fee. Cheapest and fastest service I've seen yet.
