US Incorporation Intake | LLC or C-Corp Full Questionnaire

Step 1 — Entity type

The single most consequential decision. Pick based on whether you plan to raise US venture capital in the next 12-18 months. If unsure, pick the LLC path and we scope it on the call. You can switch to C-Corp via tax-free F-reorganization later.

Wyoming or Delaware LLC

Lower cost, pass-through tax, privacy-friendly. Best for bootstrapped founders, cash-flow businesses, consulting, Stripe-serving SaaS without near-term US VC plans.

Lower annual cost than C-Corp
Pass-through tax (no entity-level US tax)
NOT fundable by US venture capital
Convertible to C-Corp later via F-reorg if plans change

Pick LLC

Delaware C-Corp

The default for US-VC-track startups. Enables 83(b) founder equity, QSBS Section 1202 clock, standard preferred-stock machinery. Required by nearly every US VC term sheet.

VC-fundable — standard investment structure
83(b) + QSBS 5-year clock starts at incorporation
Higher annual compliance (Form 1120, state filings)
Double-taxed at the entity level + shareholder level on distributions

Pick C-Corp
