What is it

A U.S. Corporation built to raise capital.

A C-Corp is the standard structure for venture-backed startups — it issues shares, supports a cap table with multiple investors, and is what most U.S. and global VCs expect to fund. It costs a little more to set up and maintain than an LLC, but it's the right foundation if you plan to raise outside money.

Who needs it

Built for founders raising capital.

Startups actively fundraising or planning to raise from VCs
Founders who need to issue stock options to a team
Companies planning a future U.S. exit or acquisition
Teams with multiple co-founders splitting equity formally

FAQ

Common questions.

C-Corp filings involve extra state paperwork and a stock structure. It's a flat $50 on top of any package — never a percentage or hidden markup.

Delaware is the default choice for VC-backed startups because investors are most familiar with its corporate law. We'll confirm it's right for your plans before filing.

Yes, though it involves extra legal work. If you already know you'll raise a priced round, it's usually cleaner to start as a C-Corp.

We set up the initial founder shares and bylaws. A dedicated stock-option plan (409A, option pool) is a follow-on service we can refer you for.

About 7 days on average. Expedited 48-hour filing is available as an add-on.
