Note:

Besides that advantages Delaware corporations can also be used as an offshore vehicle: by law taxes apply only to businesses conducted in Delaware. If you have no US business activities, no US bank accounts, no US customers, no US suppliers nor any US employees, you just pay the Delaware franchise tax of usually 50,- US$ a year. That makes the Delaware the cheapest offshore jurisdiction on the world. However, conducting one single US activity can void that whole structure.
