Setting up a business in Delaware

1. INTRODUCTION
The US is known for being the first contemporary constitution in the world which still
remains those days. One of the most important bases is the different powers between the
Federal Government and the States1 that makes the Corporate Law an issue that only the
States can legislate.
Delaware is well known all over the world for hosting a huge amount of business. A lot
of American companies are based there even though its activity takes place in other
state, such as Facebook, General Motors or LinkedIn.
In this paper I will try to explain why Delaware has more business entities than
population and why shareholders want to place their corporations in the first state of the
United States.
2. SOURCES OF DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW
Delaware, as a legitimate State has the power to design its own constitution. In 1897 the
Delaware Constitution2 was approved and subsequently it was amended.
The article IX of the Delaware Constitution contains the basis issues about Corporate
Law. One of the most relevant is mentioned in section 1, due to the recognition of the
right of corporations to work under general law, banning special acts and as a
consequence, the arbitrarily that it involves.
The general law referred to is the Delaware Code3 , which in its title 8 chapter 1 we can
find the General Corporation Law. It counts with eighteen subchapters that regularize
the process when creating a corporation and the main problems during the life of it.
The General Corporation Law does not work on its own. In Delaware the Case Law is
an important source of law, like in the states with common law legal system. The Case
Law is a principle established in a previous case enunciated by the court that will be
applicable in future case due to the similarity of the issue showed. The Case Law is not

The Federal Government has power to legislate the issues recognized in Section 8 Article I of the US
Constitution. The rest of issues have to be legislated by the states.

codified, so it has to be taken form the sentences of the cases. In Delaware Corporate
law, the Case Law is given by the Court of Chancery4 because of its specialization. It is
important to emphasize that the Court of Chancery is one of the three constitutional
courts.
3. FORMATION
Any person, or group of persons, physical or legal, can incorporate a corporation by
filing with the Division of Corporations in the Department of State a certificate of
incorporation. The corporation will be used to promote lawful business under this law
or any other law provided by the Constitution or any other law of Delaware.
Nevertheless, the corporations that will operate public utilities within Delaware will
have to be regulated under special legislation. 5
It is important to point that the legislative power does not restrict the access to create a
corporation for foreign people, or even for companies with its future economic activity
will not take place in Delaware.
This item makes that many companies decide to be
present legally in Delaware.
4. POWERS
Every corporation possesses and may exercise all the powers and privileges granted by
the law6 . The powers, enumerated in article 122 of the General Corporation Law,
provide the corporation a range of freedom to manage the legal person if the physical
person has the capacity to do it7 . It includes powers referred to shares, contracts or
securities.

The corporation shall be managed by the director or directors. The provisions of the
duties and powers of the board of directors are made in the certificate of incorporation,
and the performance should be according to the powers given8 .
Every corporation shall have officers provided by duties and powers. One of the officers
will have the duty to record proceedings of the meetings of the stockholders and
directors in a book to be kept9 .
The main difference between directors and officers is that the officers can legally blind
the corporation and they are not liable for their acts if these are taken on behalf of the
corporation10 .
Officers, directors and stockholders can be the same physical person. This is very
common in corporations of little measurements, while the big corporations usually have
different people because of the amount of job. It is important to say that there are many
legal problems between directors or officers and stockholders because each group has
different views of the corporation and their acts are aimed to a different future of it.
5. STOCK AND DIVIDENDS
Every corporation may issue stock. It can be one or more stock or with different
characteristics: voting powers, designations, etc. The stock must be stated and expressed
in the certificate of incorporation or in any amendment thereto or in any resolution
adopted11 .
The holders of preferred stock shall be entitled to receive dividends in the percentage of
their shares upon the dissolution12 .

possible incompatibilities with certain prospective buyers or any other restrictions14 .
7. MEETINGS, ELECTIONS, VOTING AND NOTICE
Meetings of stockholders may be held either within or without Delaware (provided in
the certificate of incorporation or designated by the board of directors and posteriorly
noticed to the stockholders). In case that a stockholder was not physically present at a
meeting, it will be possible to participate in the meeting by means of remote control if
the corporation has included measures to verify the identity of the stockholder 15 .
Each stockholder has the right to have one vote for each share of capital stock in his or
her property. It is possible to authorize another person or persons to vote in his or her
name by a document transferring the power to his or her representative 16 .
The certificate of incorporation may provide that each stockholder shall be entitled to
vote in the same proportion as the shares of capital that he or she owns 17 .
The voting rights are specified in the certificate of incorporation, including the exact
number of stockholders or their representatives at any meeting in order to constitute a
quorum for, and the votes that shall be necessary for, the transaction of any business 18 .
There is a residual disposition19 in case the voting rights and the necessary quorum had
not been included in the certificate of incorporation.
Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action a written notice
shall be given with the place and date of the meeting, the means of remote
communications and the purpose of the meeting in case of a special one.

8. AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION; CHANGES IN
CAPITAL AND CAPITAL STOCK
Before a corporation has received any payment for any of its stock, it may amend its
certificate of incorporation at any time to be lawful to the reality. The amendment shall
be adopted by a majority of incorporators of directors in case they have been already
named21 .

not because of the innovative law, the respected courts or the amount of case law; the
law has been copied in other states, there are more respected courts all over the world
and from a European view, the English case law is older and bigger compared to a state
that is nearly 230 years old. Delaware is such a unique place for business because the
public policy has invested in the corporations. All the powers of the state work hard
every day to make simpler the life of these legal persons.
