FAQs

Many companies decide to incorporate in Delaware as they are well known for low franchise tax for small businesses and no Delaware sales tax. Unlike other States, Delaware has its own business court (Court of Chancery) that minimizes time, cost and risk of commercial litigation.

The Court of Chancery has over 200 years of legal precedent in corporation and business entity law. The Delaware State Legislature takes seriously its role in keeping the corporation, limited liability company and limited partnership laws current.

DCS can take away the embarrassment of receiving service of process during your business work hours, by becoming your registered agent. It is best to have a registered agent receive this on your behalf.

A physical address in the state of incorporation or qualification is required in every state. Post office boxes are not acceptable. It is required that the registered agent be available to accept service of process and important legal documents.

Service of Process (SOP) is the procedure by which a party to a lawsuit gives an appropriate notice of initial legal action to another party (such as a defendant), court, or administrative body in an effort to exercise jurisdiction over that person so as to enable that person to respond to the proceeding before the court.

The SOP is served upon the registered agent/address of the company on record. It is very important that the SOP is received and responded to in a timely manner. The summons will normally provide a time frame to respond to the notice. If the defendant does not respond by the required date, the plaintiff may seek a default judgment from the court.

Delaware Corporate Services ("DCS") can act as an agent for service of process for you and being part of Law Debenture, we can also accept appointments in any of our offices globally to overcome time-zone issues.

If you have any questions regarding SOP, call us on 800-426-2327 or email dcs@lawdeb.com
