Founders of a Delaware C-corp that had no revenue or business activity but whose founders were physically in California are unsure whether they must retroactively register with California FTB and pay franchise taxes, penalties, and interest when dissolving the company.
No clear, accessible guidance exists for early-stage startups on state-specific registration requirements for remote/founder teams, especially when dissolving with zero activity.

- Founder location-based state obligation assessment engine
- Dissolution checklist with state-specific forms and filing instructions
- Automated tax and penalty estimation for late registration scenarios
- Integration with Delaware and California (and other state) Secretary of State and FTB systems
Target Users: Startup founders in software and technology who have incorporated in Delaware but operate remotely from other states, especially those with little to no revenue.
Revenue Model: $99 one-time fee per dissolution, with optional $29/mo compliance monitoring for active startups
