I am very grateful for Jane’s assistance in registering „AntradienioWave Ltd“. She was responsive, helpful, and ensured the process was successfully completed. Overall, the service was smooth, and I am satisfied with the result.
However, there was some confusion regarding electronically signed documents. Initially, I was informed that such signatures were acceptable, but later I was required to provide hand-signed documents, which caused a slight delay. It would be beneficial if SFM communicated their policy on electronic signatures more clearly to avoid similar misunderstandings in the future.
Overall, I am pleased with the service and would recommend SFM for company registration, especially due to professionals like Jane.

Delaware is a state with a tax friendly business climate, making it a popular choice for incorporation. Companies incorporated in Delaware are allowed to trade inside and outside of the United States, with over 60% of the New York Stock Exchange’s companies being registered in the state. SFM provide international company formation assistance and can help you register a company in Delaware, in as little as 2 working days.
Delaware offers unique tax incentives compared to other states in the USA, earning it its reputation as a leading company formation jurisdiction. Residency is not required when registering a company in the state and non-residential shareholders do not pay tax on their shares in the state, provided that there are no transactions in the United States and that its owners are not US Persons. Additionally, the state's strong privacy laws add an extra layer of protection for companies and their shareholders.
Delaware requires a local agent (which SFM can provide) to conduct all filings and handle most documentation.
