We've gone over this with our lawyers many times, but if you do the majority of your business operations in CA and have an LLC in any state you'll be subject to $800/year minimum franchise tax in CA still.

CA levies a (not insignificant) fee even for Delaware LLCs that operate in California.

Yes, $800. Same cost as forming the LLC.

Damn, that's what I was hoping to avoid :/

Weather tax.

What should we check to see which state is the best to form an LLC in? I want to double-check whether it’s viable to form one in my state before considering Delaware.

Why an LLC instead of an S-corp?
