A: You can form the entity in any states. DE is often not the best choice for a variety of reasons, but it depends. As a non-resident, there may be additional tax considerations for you. You may have to register as a foreign company in states where you do business. Talk to a business lawyer in the US who understands these issues. I have worked with a number of clients like this.
