Hi there Peter, I'm a Canadian citizen currently residing in Canada. I would like to incorporate a US startup (Delaware C Corp I guess.) I don't have any familial ties to the US, but my business partner is a US citizen. What are my options for incorporation in the US? And what considerations should I be concerning myself with? I would have controlling ownership of the company ideally.
Not Peter obviously. You do not have to be a US citizen to start a corporation in the US, or to be the controlling shareholder. You can incorporate the business from outside the country. No need to have pre-existing ties to the US, and you don't even need a US business partner (could be helpful to have someone in the country however). You do not need a US address either, to form the corporation.
If I'm not mistaken, Stripe Atlas does some or all of what you're looking for:
Thanks for your time!
