BusinessRocket is cheaper than our Non-US Founder Package for a foreigner's Delaware LLC, by $252 in the first year, and its $99 registered agent renewal matches ours. What the extra money buys with us is a bank application we prepare and a process built entirely around owners without an SSN. If that's not worth $252 to you, BusinessRocket is the sensible choice. Since the package is ours, factor in that we're not a neutral party.
Quick verdict
Choose BusinessRocket if the lowest cost is your priority, or you'd like rush processing and a free domain included.
Choose our package if you'd rather have your bank application filled in and submitted for you, with a Delaware-only focus.

The numbers for a Delaware LLC
- BusinessRocket Essentials, year one: $147 + $110 = $257.
- BusinessRocket Supreme, year one: $254 + $110 = $364.
- Our package, year one: $399 + $110 = $509.
- Every later year: $99 for the agent at both.
- Delaware's LLC tax: $400 for 2026, with either provider.
How our package handles the hard parts
- We write the bank application. From your checkout details and your Certificate of Formation, we put together the application for our partners. It's ready to review once your SS-4 is signed, and we submit it as soon as you approve, without waiting for your EIN. It's our partners' decision, and approval isn't guaranteed.
- One order feeds every document. Your Delaware filing and SS-4 draw from the same answers you gave once.
- The EIN arrives in your dashboard. After we fax your signed SS-4, the IRS usually takes two to eight weeks.
Your ongoing obligations
Each year Delaware expects its flat LLC tax by June 1. US tax returns, including Form 5472 for many foreign-owned single-member LLCs, aren't included with either BusinessRocket Essentials or our package.

FAQ
Which BusinessRocket package compares with yours?
Essentials, at $147 (list $195) plus the state fee. It comes with the EIN, a no-charge first year of agent service, bank concierge help, internal documents, and a free domain. Starter at $49 leaves out the EIN.
How much will I save with BusinessRocket?
For a Delaware LLC, $252 in year one: $257 with BusinessRocket Essentials against $509 with our package, both counting the $110 state fee. Renewals are $99 at both, so the saving doesn't grow or shrink.
Is BusinessRocket's EIN faster?
BusinessRocket quotes 3 to 6 weeks for non-US residents. We quote the IRS's usual two to eight weeks for faxed SS-4s. The IRS controls both.
What about Supreme's annual report filing?
Supreme ($254, list $349) includes annual report filing, then $99 a year. Delaware has no annual report for LLCs, only the flat state tax, $400 for 2026. Ask BusinessRocket how that item applies in Delaware.
Is a bank account guaranteed with either?
No. BusinessRocket's Bank Concierge makes no guarantee, and neither do we. Our partners decide on every application.
