Should I form an LLC or a C-corp with Firstbase?

Firstbase can form either an LLC or a C-corp, so the decision is about your business plans rather than a limitation of the platform. The clearest rule: if you intend to raise venture capital, form a C-corp, almost always in Delaware, because US investors expect Delaware C-corps and the whole fundraising machinery (equity, options, priced rounds) is built around them.

If you are bootstrapping a profitable business, an ecommerce store, or a solo operation with no plans to raise, an LLC is usually the better fit: simpler, cheaper to maintain, and more flexible on taxes, often formed in Wyoming for its low fees and privacy. Firstbase's tech-native positioning suits founders building a startup-style stack in either structure.

The trade-offs are real: C-corps face more formality and potential double taxation but are the standard for equity fundraising, while LLCs are lighter but less familiar to VCs. Getting this wrong is costly to fix later, so it is the decision most worth thinking through before you file.

This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Entity choice interacts with taxes, your home country, and your fundraising plans, so confirm the right structure with a qualified professional before forming.
