Common comparisons, answered

Most people arrive with two options already in mind. These are the matchups we get asked about most, each with the short answer first and the full cost and tax breakdown behind it.

  • Florida LLC vs Delaware LLC

    Run the business from Florida and a Florida LLC is cheaper on every line. Delaware adds a flat $400 franchise tax, an out-of-state registered agent, and a foreign registration back in Florida anyway. The tax outcome is usually identical.

    Decider: whether you are raising venture capital.

  • Wyoming LLC vs New Mexico LLC

    New Mexico is the cost floor: no annual report and nothing to pay after formation. Wyoming asks roughly $60 a year and buys wider recognition with banks and payment processors. Both keep owners off the public record.

    Decider: cost floor, or familiarity.

  • LLC vs C-Corp in Delaware

    A Delaware LLC is a pass-through, taxed once. A C-Corp is its own taxpayer, so profit paid out to you can be taxed twice. The C-Corp earns that back on the funding path, where priced rounds and option plans need it.

    Decider: bootstrapping, or raising.

  • Delaware LLC vs Wyoming LLC

    Effectively the same structure with a very different annual bill: Wyoming's $60 report against Delaware's flat $400 franchise tax, before agents. Delaware's courts start to matter with co-founders and outside investors, rarely for a solo owner.

    Decider: a priced round on the horizon, or not.

  • Florida LLC vs Wyoming LLC

    If you live in Florida, forming in Wyoming usually means paying twice: a Wyoming registered agent plus registering as a foreign LLC back home. For a Florida resident, Wyoming wins on privacy, not on cost.

    Decider: where you actually sit.

  • Delaware C-Corp vs Singapore

    For a founder outside the US, this is market access against tax and admin. A Delaware C-Corp opens US investors and payment rails. Singapore is often lighter to run and sits closer to Asian customers and banking.

    Decider: where your investors and customers are.
