Free Delaware Incorporation Service
We’re the cheapest way to incorporate in Delaware. We file your formation paperwork for FREE, and we give you affordable registered agent service, too.
Some companies charge nearly $1000 for incorporation. Worse yet, a lot of national business formation services advertise “$0” formation but then hit you with expensive additional charges, such as hundreds of dollars for registered agent service and corporate bylaws. Not us.
Hire Us to File Your Certificate of Incorporation
Our free incorporation isn’t just a filing—we include a lot more. You also get our attorney-drafted corporate bylaws template and other business documents for free with incorporation service. On top of that, we’ll provide you with a 90-day free trial of our Delaware Business Presence: Web + Phone package, so you can quickly and easily create a website for your Delaware corporation.
With our incorporation service, you’ll only pay the state filing fees ($109 for your Certificate of Incorporation and $50 for 1-day expedited processing) plus $50 for registered agent service. Get started today!

How Does It Work?
Here’s the cheapest (and easiest) way to incorporate in Delaware:
Step 1: Sign up for our free incorporation service.
Step 2: Fill out a short form so we can collect all the information necessary to prepare the formation filing for your Delaware corporation.*
Step 3: Sit back and relax while we file your business formation documents with the Delaware Division of Corporations.
Step 4: We email you a stamped copy of your filing showing that your corporation has been officially formed in Delaware. By default, we also store your formation paperwork in your client portal so you can access it any time you want.
Step 5: We act as your Delaware registered agent for a full year, uploading documents to your online account as we receive them. At the end of one year, you can renew for $50 or cancel the service if you wish.
It’s that simple! You can order additional business services whenever you like—at checkout or inside your online account.
* Delaware charges a fee for issuing shares of corporate stock. This fee is dependent on the number of shares issued and the value of those shares. We’re assuming you’re OK with a standard number like 1000 shares.
With more shares, the state will charge a larger fee to form your corporation and your annual franchise tax fee will be significantly higher. If you’re planning on issuing a large number of shares, let us know so that we can prepare your form properly.
How Much Does It Cost?
We only charge you for registered agent service and state fees. We do the heavy lifting on your filing for FREE.

We’re the Cheapest (and Best) Way to Incorporate in DE
We don’t change additional hidden fees!
All you pay is the state filing fee required by the Delaware Division of Corporations and $50 for a year of registered agent service. We won’t surprise you by upping our registered agent free or charging you for business documents. All of our other services (for example, BOI and DBA filing service) are optional.
We are Delaware incorporation experts.
It’s important to make sure you file your documents properly the first time. If you make a mistake, your business formation application will be rejected, and you’ll have to start over. When you hire Delaware Registered Agent Service LLC, you can rely on our years of experience and knowledge. This is what we do every single day. Plus, we offer additional business services and filings to help you manage and expand your business with ease.
We help keep your personal information off the public record.
When we sign as your authorized incorporator, our name and business address go on the public record instead of yours. By contrast, if you file your formation documents yourself, your name and address can be viewed by the public on state business records. This can be problematic if you work from a home office and don’t want your personal address freely available in the state database. We’ll help protect your information.
We offer mail forwarding and virtual office service.
Our mail forwarding and virtual office services are great for business owners that operate out of a home office, travel frequently, or have multiple locations. With mail forwarding, you get same-day mail scans to your online account and junk mail shredding. Virtual office allows you build your professional identity affordably—you get an office lease without having to spend hundreds or thousands on a physical space.
We’ll help you launch your website.
When you order registered agent or incorporation service through us, we give you a 90-day free trial of our Delaware Business Presence: Web + Presence package. Our web services team will even help you set up your website for free! You get a custom domain name (for example, “www.MyBusinessNameHere.com”), website, SSL security, business email at your domain (for example, “[email protected]”), and virtual phone service with a DE area code.
Delaware Incorporation FAQs
Get answers to some of the most commonly-asked questions about Delaware incorporation and our services.
Do I Really Need a Delaware Registered Agent?
Yes. You’re legally required to appoint a Delaware registered agent. The Delaware Code states that every corporation “shall have and maintain a registered agent” (Delaware Code Title 8, Section 132).
Your Delaware registered agent is a critical point of contact between you and the State of Delaware, making sure that you receive important legal correspondence from the state in a timely manner.
A registered agent is also an important barrier between your company and the general public. If legal action is taken against your company, we will receive service of process on your behalf. This keeps you from being served at your place of work in front of clients or at your home office.
We contact you immediately after accepting service of process so that you are aware of the legal action being taken against your company and can act quickly.
Does Hiring You Help Keep My Personal Information Off the Public Record?
Yes. This is one of the main advantages of hiring us to incorporate your Delaware company. When we file your formation documents, we use our own name and business address so that yours doesn’t go on the public record. Incorporating with us helps protect your personal information, especially if you work from a home office.
What Do I Need to Do After I Incorporate In Delaware?
After incorporating, you’ll need to obtain an employer identification number (EIN) from the IRS and file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
In addition to these requirements, to do business right, you’ll have to draft your corporate bylaws, open a business bank account, make sure you have all the proper licenses and permits for your industry, and stay on top of paying Delaware taxes.
We offer a number of products to help keep you in compliance and organized (available at checkout or inside your online account), including:
- Employer Identification Number (EIN) Application
- BOI Report Filing
- S-Corporation Election with the IRS
- Corporate Book and Kit
- Certified Copies of Documents
Why Should I Create a Website for My Company?
There’s no law requiring companies to have a website, but it would be short-sighted not to get one. Why? Your website is like a storefront that every person in the world with access to the internet (that’s several billion people) can potentially walk up to and enter. This is one of the easiest ways to get information out about your company, show off your products and services, and even interact with your customers.
This is why we’ll provide you with a domain name, website, SSL security, business email, and virtual phone service when you hire us as a registered agent or for incorporation. Domain service is free for a full year (up to $25 value), with reasonable renewal options. All other services are free for 90 days, and just $9/month each after that. A 20% discount is applied if you keep all of the Delaware Business Presence: Web + Phone services.
