While I really like the idea—a one stop-shop company creator I am a bit unsure if Stripe will achieve the same quality level like dedicated registries which do this for several years.
Points I am missing/not seeing:
- Can I decide about the administration location (eg also Delaware or does it have to be my actual location)?
- Can I get some virtual office with address, mail forwarding, etc, sometimes offered by registry?
- Is Stripe a full state approved registry or do they use 3rd party registries? What are the ongoing costs (there can be significant differences)?
- How many people are in customer support?
- Is Stripe stated as the registrant in the Delaware corp database?
The only advantage I've seen is that Stripe is opening the bank account for you and it seems you do not have to visit the States but other than that I am not sure if going all-in with one entity (Stripe) is a bit too risky.
And if looking at dedicated registries there 3-5x more information on their websites—this is not a clear indicator for quality of service but since this is not Stripe's core competency it's something I'd be a bit cautious. But still something Atlas can catch-up.
