I want to share with you "how to set-up an LLC in Delaware". A few month ago I have set-up my first one.
To find out how to do that as foreigner (German) took me a few days, because there are a lot of scams out there who offer this service.
I think some of you guys can save some time with this informations.
Why Delaware?

Registered Agent
Every LLC need a Registered Agent. I have chosen Incorp. They take 99$/year for the Registered Agent service. But there is a reseller who offer you the first year free if you create a LLC with Incorp.

After that you will get a mail from Incorp with an attached file called "Articles of Organization" for your new LLC. They have already filled out everything and you just have to sign.

Always remember to sign any documents on behalf of the LLC using your title as “Member” or “Managing Member” in order to avoid personal liability.
That's it. You can track the forming progress over your Incorp account.
As an American, can you do everything yourself and just need a Registered Agent.
If you are a foreigner or want to save time I recommit this service. The cost will be ~130$ (90$ Delaware Filing Fee + 24$ LLC's Service Fee + Shipping).
