Complete guide to forming and maintaining a Delaware corporation.
Customizable templates for employee stock option plans.
Annual compliance checklist for C Corporations.
Key terms and negotiation points for funding rounds.
Delaware is popular for C Corps due to its well-developed corporate law and court system, especially for companies seeking venture capital. However, incorporating in your home state can simplify compliance if you don't plan for external investment.
Commonly, companies authorize 10 million or more shares. Authorizing a high number provides flexibility for future fundraising, employee stock options, and stock splits without needing to amend your Articles of Incorporation.
Authorized shares are the total number of shares a corporation is legally allowed to issue. Issued shares are the portion of authorized shares that have actually been sold or distributed to shareholders.
Yes, a C Corporation requires a board of directors. Initially, this can be just one person (often the founder) who also serves as an officer. As the company grows, the board typically expands.

Ongoing compliance includes filing annual reports with the state, federal tax returns (Form 1120), holding regular board and shareholder meetings, and maintaining meticulous corporate records. These are more stringent than for LLCs.
