    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

    What documents are needed to register a company in Delaware (USA)?

    To register a company in Delaware, you will need:

    • Company name;
    • Certificate of incorporation (for C-corp) or formation (for LLC);
    • Registered agent in Delaware;
    • Articles of incorporation or operating agreement;
    • Filing fee payment.

    Intermarium can prepare the full set of documents and coordinate filings remotely.

    Which is better for a startup in Delaware: LLC or C-corp?

    For startups seeking venture capital or equity investment, a Delaware C-corp is often preferred due to its standardized equity structure. An LLC may be better for tax transparency and flexible management for smaller or early-stage ventures. We provide comparative analysis and help you choose the right form.

    What are the specifics of registering a Limited company in London?

    To register a Limited Company in the UK, you need:

    • Company name and registered address;
    • One director and one shareholder;
    • Memorandum and Articles of Association;
    • Company formation fee (~£12);
    • HMRC registration for tax purposes.

    Our corporate law firm assists clients in preparing all necessary documentation and registration steps with UK authorities.

    How does corporate restructuring take place?

    Corporate restructuring typically involves:

    • Internal assessment and legal audit;
    • Strategy design (spin-off, merger, acquisition);
    • Drafting required legal documentation;
    • Regulatory filings and re-registration.

    Our corporate legal services cover every stage—from planning to implementation.

    What are the risks of improper corporate governance?

    Poor governance can lead to:

    • Conflicts between shareholders;
    • Regulatory violations and penalties;
    • Loss of investor confidence;
    • Exposure to personal liability for directors.

    We mitigate these risks by providing tailored legal frameworks and ongoing support.
