• Before deciding about starting an LLC in
  Delaware, it is important to file a certificate
  of formation. You must check prospective business
  names with the Secretary of State to ensure there
  are no conflicts. 
• Simultaneously, the legal environment
  necessitates using LLC, Limited Liability
  Company, or L.L.C as a part of the business name.
  The same can be changed in later stages through
  an Amendment to the actual Certificate of
  Formation.
• The registered agent requirements
• You can form an LLC in the region without
  actually maintaining an office or a bank account.
  However, the LLC act necessitates the business
  incorporated in the region to have a registered
  Delaware agency along with an in-state address.
  Third-party service providers can act as your
  registered agents for an annual fee.    
• Post formation, the registered agent handles the
  State of Delaware notices on your behalf. These
  accept and forward the legal notices to your
  business.

• The name of the LLC
• Address and details of the registered agent
• Signatures of an authorized service provider 
• For series LLC, the liabilities of each member
  must be clearly defined in the certificate of
  formation. Optional provisions can also be
  included. For instance - on special request, the
  names of the members and managers can be made
  part of the original certificate of formation.
• Delaware LLC operating agreement 
• It is important to draft a clear Operating
  Agreement. This sets forth the ownership and
  management structures along with clearly defined
  procedures. 
• Delaware mandates the same as the Operating
  Agreement will govern the working of the LLC. The
  agreement must be written and signed. 
• Even in the case of a single-member LLC, the
  Operating Agreement is critical as it helps to
  clearly define the decision-making process,
  especially when dealing with other businesses.
  This enhances the protection and credibility of
  the business in handling financial transactions.
• The Agreement also includes provisions like
  liability, ownership, business dissolution, and
  transfer of interest.

• Signing the LLC operating agreement 
• Once the agreement has been drafted and approved,
  the members may execute it. The same will not
  draft and finalize the operating agreement till
  all members agree to the same. 
• Also, formal requirements like voting rights,
  annual meetings, etc. are not required by LLCs
  which helps to streamline the business.
• Such an agreement can even be enforceable
  unsigned yet in the case of multiple-member LLCs,
  it becomes tough to prove that all members agreed
  to the same. Hence a signed document is
  recommended. 
• Also, in case of changes in the agreement or
  ownership structure, the amendments or a new
  agreement should be signed. 
• Thus opting for creating a Delaware LLC means
  two-way protection for yourself and your
  business. It helps to safeguard your assets, and
  build a shield between your business liabilities
  and assets. It also prevents creditors from
  taking charge of your business due to mistakes of
  your business partners. Creditors of members only
  enjoy an economic interest instead of a
  controlling right or liquidating the business.
