WHY YOU MIGHT NEED A DELAWARE CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING

Our clients most often reach out to us when they've been asked to provide a Certificate of Good Standing by an attorney, accountant, or bank.

They're most often required during requests for loans or financing, mergers, or by state governments, banks, potential investors, and other business contracts. 

WHAT A CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING TELLS YOU

A Certificate of Good Standing, sometimes referred to as a "Certificate of Existence" or a "Certificate of Status" is a document issued by the Delaware Secretary of State that confirms that your entity is authorized to do business. 

It certifies that your Delaware entity has paid annual franchise taxes and filed an annual report (corporations). Read more about what a Certificate of Good Standing is here.
