Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Certificate of Incumbency?
A Certificate of Incumbency is a document that essentially assigns signatory powers to other individuals. It proves that a particular individual is authorized to enact legally binding transactions on behalf of a company. The difference between Certificate of Incumbency and Certificate of Formation lies in their approving body. Certificate of Formation is a document accepted and approved by the State itself. On the other hand, the Certificate of Incumbency is the one that is accepted and approved by the Notary of Delaware.
On the Certificate of Incumbency, you may write down:
– Company owners’ names,
– Shareholders,
– Interest rates,
– Address of the company,
– The local address,

What does the Foreign Qualification entail?
Do you have a company incorporated in Delaware and want to do business in other U.S. states? Or, do you have a company in another state and want to enter the Delaware market? In short, if you want to conduct your business in states other than the one your company is incorporated in, you should consider applying for “Foreign Qualification.”
If you wish to register your business in a state in which your business is considered to be “alien”, you need tp get a Certificate of Registration (or Certificate of Authority) at the end of the registering process. With this registration, you will be able to protect your business according to the state that you run your business. For instance, by registering your Delaware-based business to California, you will be able to protect your business within the borders of Delaware General Corporate Law and legally conduct your business in California by the local legislation.
Moreover, you need to have the Certificate of Registration when you want to open a bank account in the state the company is operating.
What does the Operating Agreement entail?
An operating agreement is a crucial document that is used and required by limited companies to set out the financial and functional decisions of the business including in-house rules, regulations, and provisions. The purpose of the document is basically to manage the internal operation of the company to suit the specific requirements of the owners.
First of all, it is a legal document which means that it would lead to certain legal implications in an event of a conflict. Although most states do not require an operating agreement – still we highly recommend it for multi-member LLCs since it structures the finances and organization of the LLC-, it is mandatory in Delaware State of the USA.
It regulates; Organization, Management and Voting, Capital Contributions, Distributions, Membership Changes, and Dissolution.
- Organization: The first part of the operating contract is related to the establishment of the company. It covers when the company was founded, who the members are, and the ownership structure. If there is more than one member, they may all be equal ownership or a different amount of “ownership units”
- Management and Voting: This section discusses how the company is managed and how members vote. It is the case that the company may be managed by one of the members appointed by the members. The operating agreement determines what authority the members have on the company affairs. The decisions may be made through a voting process among the members. The operating agreement may determine the number of votes required by the company for certain actions.
- Capital Contributions: This part is about the money given by the members to start the Limited Liability Company. It covers which members have given the money to establish the company. It also covers how the members will raise extra money.
- Distributions: This part shows how the company’s profits and losses are shared among the members. This money may include physical property or other commercial assets.
- Membership Changes: This part is totally about the process of adding or removing members. It covers what might happen in the case of the transfer of company ownership. For instance, the company determines what happens if a member dies or goes bankrupt etc.
- Dissolution: In this part of the operating agreement, explain in which situations the company should be dissolved. This is sometimes called “wind up”.
How can I prove that you own a LLC in Delaware?
Delaware LLCs are the most well-known company type in Delaware and they are probably one of the most flexible types of business types that you can encounter anywhere in the world due to the legal protection and flexibility that provide to their owners. Whether you are a single entrepreneur or a family business, or a partnership with many members, LLCs fit into any situation to start a business.
In short, LLC is the abbreviation for Limited Liability Company; which, as the name suggests, burdens the owner(s) of a company with limited liability both financially and administratively. Unlike a corporation, the members of an LLC have the freedom to attain the roles, responsibilities, and liabilities of the single members of the company. Through the Operating Agreement which is written and signed by the members of the LLC, the owners of the company can determine their respective roles.
The main feature of an LLC is that the members of an LLC are not required to publicly disclose any personal information to form and maintain their companies. In addition, this privacy can save resources and time if the company decides to add, drop, or transfer members to or from the company in the future. In conclusion, when you start an LLC in Delaware, your information is kept confidential, and you do not have to state who started the business. Accordingly, you don’t have to give information about the other members. However, this may sometimes create problems, especially when you need to state who the owner of your company is.
Proof
To remedy this, the above-mentioned “Operating Agreement” which includes the regulations about the authority, shares, and liabilities comes into play. As all members should sign this agreement, you can use this agreement if you need to prove you are a member/owner of this company. Accordingly, there should also be a membership certificate for each member of the company. You can also provide this certificate when needed. This certificate usually states the shares, number of stock shares, and the liabilities of a member.
