Best State to Form an LLC for SaaS Businesses

Form your SaaS company in Delaware if you plan to raise venture capital, because investors expect a Delaware entity and its Court of Chancery handles business disputes. If you are bootstrapping, Wyoming is the better choice: $100 to form, a $60 minimum annual report, no state income tax and private ownership. If you live and run the business in one US state, that state requires registration either way.

How to Start an LLC in Delaware

To start an LLC in Delaware, file a Certificate of Formation with the Delaware Division of Corporations for $110, name a registered agent with a Delaware street address, sign an operating agreement and get an EIN from the IRS. Every Delaware LLC then pays a $400 annual tax by June 1. Owners who live and work in another state also register the LLC there.

Best State to Form an LLC for Amazon FBA Sellers

Wyoming is the best state to form an LLC for most Amazon FBA sellers who do not run the business from a physical location in one state: $100 to form, a $60 minimum annual report, no state income tax and owner names kept off the public record. If you live and work in one US state, form the LLC there, because it has to register in that state anyway. Non-US sellers form in Wyoming or New Mexico. Your formation state does not change sales tax: Amazon collects and remits sales tax on marketplace sales in every state that has one.
