Hi Niki, You gave some great advice there on US incorporation, these are some of the rare and hard to find information. My company shop2 was incorporated as delaware c-corp through curtis mo from DLA Piper SF last year and i have very similar setup and it's working well so far.
1) you need a postal address, I am using mailboxforwarding.com 2) silicon valley bank is great. 3) there is a delaware tax return, should be easy enough.. However, One of the key question that haven't been address how to setup the subsidiary relationship between US <> AUS entities. I remembered I talked to one of startmate company sidekick who have both a Australian entity for local hiring, development activity to leverage things like grants, R&D tax incentive, also a US entities for funding & businesses. Do you mind sharing some insight from setting up startmate companies? I know there are people thinking about going overseas for funding, incubator or expansion. What is the best way to set this up? - US vs. AUS as parent company? or there is no requirement to setup a direct relationship between companies in share holding - I have couple of AUS employees which I want to grant stock options with typical 4 year vesting in this US entity, or all local hiring should go through Australian entities. I have no idea Australia citizen and tax rules.
