Legal Question in Business Law in Delaware
Hi, I want to set up a company in Delaware.
I reside in Turkey, non-US citizen. I own a sofware company here, but taxes are too high.
I've contacted a few people 'bout setting up a corporation but i have no idea what i'm gonna do.
So could you please explain;
- how to start a company in USA (delaware i think.),
- is it profitable in Delaware or California thinking of taxes and legal fees.
- what'll be the main problems i could face legally
- could you provide me legal consultancy about my startup in usa.
thanks.

Yes, as a non-resident, non-citizen of the U.S. you still can establish a U.S. business here. You would obtain an ITIN, or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, from the IRS. You would file tax returns and pay income tax on income earned in the U.S.
Delaware is popular because it has low corporate taxes and a well-established body of business law. I have worked with establishing other new businesses, including software companies, and would be able to work with you on this. Please feel free to email me with additional initial questions or to discuss fees and costs.
The good news is that anyone can setup a US company, regardless of citizenship or even visa. However there are a umber of legal issues that need to be address such as what state would be the most appropriate for you to incorporate in, tax strategy and operations of the US company.
My firm represents technology startups from around the world (including a Turkish company with operations in NYC) and I can assist you with the formation of your corporation and process all the necessary paperwork.
I suggest that you contact me offline so we can setup a consultation via skype where I will be able to make specific recommendations that will be relevant to you.
