More than 900,000 have their business entities in the state of Delaware. While the number of companies registered in Delaware is very important, the more noteworthy still is the fact that so many large well-known organisations are incorporated in Delaware, of the corporations that are listed in the Fortune 500, more than one-half are incorporated in Delaware. It is no wonder that Delaware has become so popular.

There are a number of reasons why Delaware company registration has become so prestigious. Delaware has a modern and nationally known corporation statute and a well-developed case law that simplifies in business planning.
