Estonia's e-Residency Program
Don&#x27;t get the hype. Still a Delaware Inc (C Corp) is better:<p>- Physical post address can be outside the US<p>- With Stripe Atlas you can get the bank account for the Delaware without visiting the US (possible with Estonia since few weeks)<p>- No need to wait months to get the e-residency and to get started (biggest bummer)<p>- Way larger ecosystem of tax guys and lawyers in the US =&gt; more competition =&gt; cheaper<p>- native language is English, so contracts are always and only in English; in Estonia there is one piece which must stay Estonian (don&#x27;t remember which one)<p>- Larger ecosystem and English as main language makes it very easier to google answers to any tax or law related questions =&gt; huge knowledge base online, with Estonia there&#x27;s just the documentation from the state<p>- Default to get VC money, the Estonian entity (OÜ) is not learned and investors are reluctant to put money in<p>- Estonia follows EU law which is compared to US law extremely consumer friendly, has strong consumer protection rights and super friendly to labor as well =&gt; EU law is over-regulating in general<p>- Cross-country relationships, like Delaware Inc is the holding and local entities are operational are more learned with local tax consultants than with Estonian entities =&gt; cheaper<p>- Delaware Inc.: no need to disclose MDs at the beginning, Estonian entity has full disclosure from day 1<p>Delaware is doing this business for decades, of course they must be better but I expected more from Estonia&#x27;s e-residency.
