Ask HN: What I need to know when registering a Delaware Corp?

3 points by a1g 15 years ago · 2 comments · 1 min read


I am planning on registering a Delaware Corporation soon and have some question.

If I plan on having angel investors and venture capitalists in vest in to my company what is better? C corp or S corp?

When I register a corporation does it register also a trademark for the name of the corporation? so it _can't_ be used by any entity but this corporation?

Is there anything else I need to know?

That's all the questions I have for now.

Thank you for your time hackers.

IANAL.

#1 C Corp.

#2 Trademarks can be complicated. A lawyer is highly advisable. You will want to file a registration, possibly more than one.

If you're going to raise money you're going to want a lawyer. Try to find one that will defer expenses until you've received your first check. Above all make sure the lawyer has been involved with startup financing before. This is critical.
