Delaware compliance dashboard for founders

I conducted targeted web searches and scraped official Delaware and federal sources to gather current, authoritative information to build a comprehensive "Delaware compliance dashboard for founders." Steps taken: I conducted targeted web searches and scraped official Delaware and federal sources to gather current, authoritative information to build a comprehensive "Delaware compliance dashboard for founders." Steps taken: Performed broad web searches for Delaware corporate & entity compliance (Division of Corporations, Division of Revenue, FinCEN) to identify deadlines, fees, filing procedures, penalties, registered agent rules, and BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) developments.

Scraped and extracted key pages from the Delaware Division of Corporations and Division of Revenue and FinCEN for verbatim, up-to-date guidance and figures. Summary of analysis and key findings (concise, actionable items to power a founder-focused compliance dashboard) - Filing deadlines and what to include in a dashboard: Domestic corporations: Annual Report + Franchise Tax due annually on or before March Domestic alternative entities (LLC, LP, GP) Annual tax of $300 due on or before June 1.

No annual report required. Foreign corporations (registered to do business in Delaware): Annual Report due on or before June 30; $125 filing fee; penalties if late. - Fees, tax minimums/maximums, estimated payments and penalties (to surface and calculate on dashboard): Corporate franchise tax: minimum $175 (Authorized Shares method); minimum $400 (Assumed Par Value method); maximum $200,000 (general) and $250,000 for Large Corporate Filers.

Corporations owing $5,000 or more must pay estimated franchise taxes in quarterly installments (40% due June 1, 20% Sep 1, 20% Dec 1, remainder Mar 1). Alternative entities (LLC/LP/GP) annual tax: $300 due June 1.

Penalty for non-payment: $200 plus 1.5% interest/month on tax and penalty. Corporations late filing penalty: $200 + 1.5% interest/month. - Registered agent requirement and best-practice alerts: Delaware requires a registered agent with a street address and business hours in Delaware to accept service of process (8 Del.

C. §132). The Division provides a searchable list but does not regulate or endorse agents. - Online services, portals and links to integrate or surface on the dashboard: Delaware Division of Corporations online filing/payment portal (paytaxes / eCorp links).

UCC filing portal and entity search functions for status and name availability. - BOI / FinCEN (critical federal change to incorporate into compliance guidance): As of the FinCEN interim final rule (March 26, 2025), entities formed in the United States (previously "domestic reporting companies") are exempt from FinCEN BOI reporting; the interim rule narrows "reporting company" to foreign entities that registered to do business in the U.S.

Those foreign reporting companies had deadlines (e.g., registered before March 26, 2025: file by April 25, 2025) and new 30-day rules for later registrations. FinCEN also emphasized there is no fee to file BOI directly with FinCEN and warned about scams. - Practical founder guidance to include as dashboard items / automated reminders: Maintain up-to-date registered agent and address on file; keep copies of confirmations and good-standing certificates.

For corporations: track authorized vs issued shares and par value data; calculate both franchise tax methods annually and select the lower amount; track estimated tax installment schedule if owed >= $5,000.

For LLCs/LPs/GPs: ensure $300 tax paid by June 1 annually; no annual report but maintain internal records (operating agreement, membership ledger) and tax registrations if operating in other states. For foreign qualification: display Delaware domestic status versus foreign qualified status in other states; surface deadlines and fees for foreign corp annual report (June 30) and for state-level registrations elsewhere.

Add penalty/interest calculators, links to file and pay, and stored receipts for good standing verification and investor/diligence needs. - Suggested dashboard modules (high-level): Entity summary (state of formation, file number, registered agent, entity type) Upcoming deadlines (March 1, June 1, June 30, estimated tax installments)
