Welcome
Welcome to the 2023-2024 Edition of International Delaware. This year, we are showing you why Delaware is known as the “Corporate Capital of the World.” Companies from across the United States and around the world place their trust in Delaware’s business services sector. You will learn why more than 1.9 million companies call Delaware their home. Despite the uneven economy in 2022, more than 313,650 entities were formed in the state. It is expected that Delaware will exceed 2 million entities in 2023. Over 68% of the Fortune 500 corporations place their trust in Delaware’s business services sector and 79% of all IPOS in 2022 were registered in Delaware.
At World Trade Center® Delaware, we often are asked why so many companies choose Delaware.
The First State offers:
Unique modern and flexible corporate laws
Strong, bipartisan support from the Delaware General Assembly
and our Governor
Delaware’s Court of Chancery, a unique business court, dating to 1792, that has written most of the modern U.S. corporation case law and is known for its equitable settlement of cases.
Highly respected and experienced legal, financial, accounting and business formation services community
Business-friendly, but fair government.
Alternative formats in addition to traditional stock corporations, such as limited partnerships (LPs) and limited liability companies (LLCs), nonstock corporations and more
Service-oriented staff of the Division of Corporations
Low cost of doing business
Please enjoy meeting the people who make this possible.
We are committed to help your company expand its business, improve profitability, and increase employment opportunities through international trade. As a mark of this dedication to serving companies, the Export-Import Bank
of the U.S. (EXIM) just honored World Trade Center
Delaware as REPP Member of the Year 2023. Sincerely,
