Real scenario · Canada × SaaS
SaaS founder from Canada forming a Delaware LLC
A Toronto-based SaaS founder choosing between Canadian corporation and US Delaware LLC for serving US enterprise customers.
The challenge
Toronto SaaS founder with US enterprise customer pipeline. Choice between forming a Canadian corp (simpler home-country tax) or a US LLC (cleaner US-customer contracting). The Canada-US treaty's Article XXIX-A limitation-of-benefits applies in either direction.
Banking path
Canada-US business proximity makes all banks generally approve Canadian founders. Mercury, Wise, Relay all viable.
Tax compliance path
Canadian residents are taxed on worldwide income. Canada-US treaty applies. The LLC vs Canadian-corp choice is technical and depends on transfer-pricing planning, corporate-residence analysis, and future-fundraising goals.
Formation path with Delewarellc
Delewarellc forms the Delaware LLC for the founder choosing the US-LLC path. The Canadian-corp alternative requires engaging Canadian counsel separately; Delewarellc does not form Canadian entities.
Outcome
Canadian SaaS founder operates US-LLC billing entity for US customers. Coordinates with Canadian accountant on personal worldwide-income tax filings. Optionally maintains a Canadian corp for Canadian-customer revenue.
