Wow, that sounds like an insane deal! However, a 10.000 dollars price tag for those services is slightly exaggerated. Maybe I'm not correct, and that's a reasonable price, and a rich person would accept this price, but I don't think it's the right way to place this kind of business. I mean, there are companies like e-delaware.com that offer similar services. And you know, their services are much more adequate, and they help you on all the stages of creating your own business! Moreover, they can help you even with your EIN and many other things.
