If you wanted to form an entity for the purposes of limiting your personal liability, what is the cheapest Corporation stack available to create and maintain a corporation, year over year?
Even if a corporation or LLC is organized in Delaware or another state, if it does business or has employees in California, it has to register with California and pay the tax, which in some situations is waived for the first year.
Usually the costs for registration of a foreign entity are the same or more, so you pay twice.
If you’re registering a Delaware company for a particular reason, that reason makes cost irrelevant.
