Delaware LLC privacy

One of the unique benefits of chartering your new limited liability company in Delaware is having the luxury of deciding how much information about yourself to include in the public record.
The Certificate of Formation (or Certificate of Incorporation) which is registered and filed with the Delaware Secretary of State can state the names of the Initial Directors or Initial Members of the company, or can be filed without naming the directors or members on the certificate. Many of our clients elect this option to preserve their privacy.
If you elect not to have your name printed on the certificate we will furnish you with a Certificate of Incumbency (not filed with the Secretary of State) which identifies the person authorized to open bank accounts, issue share certificates and enter into contracts on behalf of the company.
If you form a Delaware LLC, you will not be required to file an annual report in Delaware and the names of the members of the company will not be Public Record of the Delaware Division of Corporations.

If you form a Delaware corporation, you are not required to state an initial director or initial officer on the Certificate of Incorporation.
However, for a Delaware corporation you will be required to name the officers and directors of the corporation and one officer when the annual report is due.
In addition, you will not be required to name the shareholders, owners, or beneficial owners.
