Comparing Clemta for a Delaware LLC Run From Abroad

Clemta serves founders from 170+ countries on a subscription model. You pay each year, and it keeps the company's agent, address, and deadline reminders running, with tax and bookkeeping available on higher tiers. Ours is a single purchase for a Delaware LLC. The trade-off between them is mostly about what you keep paying for. We sell a competing package, so bear that in mind as you compare.

What Clemta gets right

Clemta's Essentials plan packs a lot into its price: formation and the EIN, a registered agent all year, a business address with three scanned letters a year, bank application guidance, and basic bookkeeping tools.

Above that, Pro brings IRS federal tax filings, W-8, W-9, and 1099 handling, and yearly state reports, while Premium adds monthly bookkeeping and unlimited mail forwarding. Clemta also helps with the BE-13 survey, a government report some foreign-owned US companies run into.

Cost in Delaware, year by year

Clemta costs $50 less in the first year. By the end of year three, ours has cost $450 less. Clemta's fee also buys an address and reminders we don't sell, so if you'd use those, count them in.

Delaware's own tax, $400 for 2026, is owed by every LLC regardless of provider and isn't shown above.

Why founders choose our package

The yearly bill stays small. Registered agent service at $99 is the one renewal, and you can cancel it from your dashboard.

We take the bank application off your plate. Clemta offers guidance; we do the preparation. As soon as your SS-4 is signed, an application for our partners is filled in from your order and paired with your Certificate of Formation. It goes out only after you approve it. Our partners decide, and we can't guarantee the account.

A spelled-out EIN route. Without an SSN, the IRS online form is closed to you, so we prepare Form SS-4 and fax it after your e-signature. Plan on two to eight weeks for the number.

Pick Clemta if

• You want a US business address and mail scanning included.
• You'd like one subscription that can later take on federal filings, state reports, and bookkeeping.
• You need help with the BE-13 survey.

What you still owe Delaware and the IRS

Every June 1, Delaware collects its flat LLC tax, $400 for 2026. Federal filings, including Form 5472 when it applies, are also yours with our package. We don't prepare them, so work with a tax professional who handles foreign-owned companies.

In the first year, by a little. Clemta Essentials is $349 plus the state fee, so $459 with Delaware's $110. Ours comes to $509. From year two, Clemta Essentials stays at $349 and we charge $99 for the agent.

Yes. Clemta's plans auto-renew by default, and you can cancel. Essentials is $29 a month billed annually, Pro is $89 a month billed annually ($1,068), and Premium is $240 a month.

Does Clemta file US taxes?

Clemta Pro adds IRS federal tax filings and handling of W-8, W-9, and 1099 forms. Form 5472 isn't listed by name there, so check with Clemta for your LLC. We don't prepare tax filings.

Does Clemta work in Delaware?

Its pricing page doesn't list the states it serves, so confirm Delaware with Clemta. Our package is built for Delaware LLCs.

What does Clemta say about EINs without an SSN?

Clemta includes an EIN in every tier, but its pricing page doesn't explain the process for owners without an SSN. With us, we prepare the SS-4 for that situation and fax it once you've signed.
