What people use it for.

Running it after day one.
A company is quick to open and still needs looking after. These are the recurring items, tracked from the same dashboard you formed it in.
Annual tax
Delaware charges every LLC a flat $300 each year, due 1 June. LLCs do not file an annual report with the state.
Registered agent
The company has to keep a registered agent with a Delaware address at all times.
Tax filings
Federal and state filings depend on how the LLC is taxed and where it does business. K-1s for members run from the same dashboard.
Good standing
Missing the annual tax brings penalties and interest, and the state can eventually cancel the company.
Common questions.

Yes. You can launch an SPV on the company and run investor onboarding, K-1s and distributions from the same dashboard.
