First chance I'm getting to respond...sorry about the delay. Unlike New |
| 6 |
Mexico which actually requires that an officer of the corporation hold |
| 7 |
state residency Delaware only requires that a "Registered Agent" hold |
| 8 |
residency in the state, and hold the same address as that listed in the |
| 9 |
articles of incorporation. The legal requirements to be a Registered |
| 10 |
Agent in Delaware are to maintain a street address and office located in |
| 11 |
Delaware and be open during normal business hours for the purpose of |
| 12 |
accepting service of process according to 8 DEL.C. § 132. This is |
| 13 |
consistent with other corporate friendly states such as Nevada and |
| 14 |
Tennessee. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
What this effectively means is that in order to relocate to Delaware we |
| 17 |
would have to pay a management firm to maintain a shared office space, |
| 18 |
mailing address and phone number in the state. A copy of our Articles of |
| 19 |
Incorporation would have to be stored at this location and presentable |
| 20 |
for inspection by anyone who asks for it. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
There are several such management firms out there. The most basic of |
| 23 |
them only provides the above services, other extras include conference |
| 24 |
rooms usable for corporate meetings, fax services, etc. I am compiling a |
| 25 |
list of reputable firms and will present it to the board in the coming |
| 26 |
weeks. |
