ll.2 ### Why Many Corporations Incorporate in DelawareThere are several reasons why many corporations choose to incorporate in Delaware:1. **Delaware, unlike most other states, even permits the incorporation of businesses that have not yet started to operate.** * Delaware allows businesses to incorporate before they have begun any operations, providing flexibility for future planning and organization.2. **Delaware laws ordinarily do not restrict the powers and actions of management.** * The state's laws are generally more favorable and less restrictive towards the powers and actions of corporate management, giving directors and officers more freedom in running the company.3. **Delaware does not allow derivative suits.** * This statement is incorrect. Delaware does allow derivative suits, which are lawsuits brought by shareholders on behalf of the corporation against third parties—often the corporation's own executives or directors.4. **Delaware corporations need not pay state taxes.** * This statement is incorrect. Delaware corporations must pay state taxes. However, the state offers a favorable tax structure, especially for businesses that operate outside of Delaware.5. **Delaware pays promoters a finder's fee.** * This statement is incorrect. Delaware does not pay promoters a finder's fee for incorporating companies in the state.Understanding these reasons provides insight into why Delaware is a preferred state for incorporation, particularly due to its flexible and favorable legal and tax environment for businesses.
