MAIN ADVANTAGES OF US CORPORATIONS

The owner or Director of a US corporation cannot be personaly responsible for obligations and trade or business of the company.
2) Low taxes:
Delaware corporations enjoy a favourable state tax policy. Delaware State Constitution prohibits the state from imposing corporate income taxes on corporations which do not conduct any business inside the State.
3) Anonymicy:
There are many justified reasons willing to benefit from this advantage.
4) No need to be american nor to go there:
There are no requirements for US citizens to be owner nor
Director of a Delaware corporation.
The Delaware Corporation Law permits director's meeting to be held over the telephone rather than requiring the
directors to be present for a formal meeting.
Delaware law also allows directors to be non-resident aliens.
5) Protection of the assets:
A corporation can become the legal owner of assets (real estate, bank accounts...).
Any title deed can be kept by

They may contain 'any provision, not inconsistent with the law or the articles of Incorporation, relating to the business of the corporation if such provisions are not contrary to the laws of this State.
