Comparing Globalfy for a Delaware LLC Formed From Abroad
Globalfy prices its plans by the year. Our Non-US Founder Package costs $399 a single time plus Delaware's $110 fee, with a $99/yr registered agent from year two.
Globalfy sells founders abroad a yearly plan: formation, agent, and address to start, with US tax filing added on its upper tiers. Our Non-US Founder Package takes the opposite approach: one payment for a Delaware LLC, with only the agent renewing. Whether Globalfy or our package fits depends mostly on how much ongoing service you want to buy. Since we sell a competing package, keep our stake in mind as you read.
What Globalfy gets right
Globalfy's Remote plan, $998 a year, lists Form 5472 and the pro forma 1120 among its features. It's designed for single-owner LLCs selling services remotely, with no effectively connected US income. That's a bundled answer to the filing that catches many foreign owners off guard.
It covers five states, Delaware among them, and its plans include the yearly state renewal filing. For Delaware, the pricing page shows a $400 renewal as a state fee, the same figure as Delaware's flat LLC tax for 2026. Starter adds a real street address with mail scanning and a free self-serve bookkeeping license, and Globalfy helps with bank applications through Mercury and Lili even before the EIN arrives.

Why founders choose our package
One charge, then a small one. After the $399, the only bill from us is the $99 yearly agent fee, which you can stop from your dashboard.
Your bank application, prepared and waiting. Once your SS-4 carries your signature, the application for our partners is complete, built from your order with your Certificate of Formation included. You look it over, approve it, and we send it on. Our partners make the call, and we can't promise an account.
Paperwork drawn from one form. We prepare your Certificate of Formation and your SS-4 from the same order. The SS-4 goes to the IRS by fax, and an EIN normally follows within two to eight weeks.
Pick Globalfy if
- You run a one-owner remote services LLC and want Form 5472 filed inside your plan.
- You want a mailing address with scanning, beyond a registered office.
- You'd like the yearly Delaware renewal filing handled by your provider.
- You're forming in Texas, which our package doesn't cover.
What you still owe Delaware and the IRS
With our package, the Delaware tax ($400 for 2026, due June 1) is yours to pay, and so are your federal returns. We don't provide a general mailing address or prepare Form 5472. If you'll buy those services every year anyway, a bundled Globalfy plan could cost less than piecing them together.

Questions
How much is Globalfy for a Delaware LLC in year one?
Globalfy Starter is $588 a year, and state fees are extra; its page lists Delaware's as $110. That's $698 for the first year. Our package plus the same fee is $509.
Does Globalfy cover Delaware's annual tax?
Globalfy's page lists a $400 Delaware renewal as a state fee on top of its plan, which matches Delaware's flat LLC tax for 2026. Its plans include the yearly state renewal filing, but the tax itself is still yours to pay.
Which Globalfy plan includes Form 5472?
Remote, at $998 a year, lists Form 5472 and a pro forma 1120. The plan is only for single-member LLCs selling remote services without effectively connected US income. Tax work is outside our package.
Is a bank application possible before the EIN is issued?
Yes, with either. Globalfy advertises application help before the EIN through its partners, Mercury and Lili. With our package, your application for our partners is ready when you sign the SS-4 and is sent after you approve it. The account provider always decides.
Is Globalfy's renewal price published?
Not separately. Its plans are priced per year, and a distinct renewal figure doesn't appear on the pricing page.
Just need the LLC, EIN, and bank application?
$399 plus Delaware's $110 filing fee. You'll confirm the exact total at checkout before paying.
