My Opinion / Reply:

Overview of Delaware, Prospects, Advantages, and Limitations:

Delaware is the most business friendly destination, with a well-established legal
system. A non-resident of Delaware as well as non-US Citizen can establish a
Delaware Corporation; provided there registered office is located within the state.
Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) governs process of Incorporation and
filing fees and it is applicable to LLC, Delaware C Corp, General Partnerships,
Limited Liability Partnership. However, Sole Proprietorship business is not
required to make such filings. It is home to most of fortune 500 Companies and
publicly traded Companies.
