C-Corp: Is it a good idea for a offshore web startup?

5 pointsby cuchoalmost 15 years ago
Hello.<p>I am from Chile. I want to start a company that receives money from Apple (selling apps worldwide) and pays a % of the sales to people worldwide (through PayPal). I receive a % of the sales.<p>I am considering to start a C-Corp in Delaware to do this. Reasons:<p>- To open a US bank/merchant account - Closer to Apple (no bank transfer fees, currency exchanges, etc) - I can raise VC money<p>I have been reading YC looking for answers, but now I have more questions! (that's a good sign)<p>(0) Is it a good idea to incorporate in the US/Delaware?<p>(1) Do I have to register in every state (I will sell apps and pay people in all the states)<p>(2) What taxes do I have to pay?<p>(3) Is it possible to manage a US corp from abroad?<p>(4) Is there any good book about web startups and taxes etc?<p>Thank you very much. Your answers will be extremely helpful.
