Corporation Trust Center

About

The Corporation Trust Center is a split-level building at 1209 North Orange Street in Wilmington, Delaware, United States. In 2012, it was the registered agent address of at least 285,000 separate American and foreign businesses that operate or trade in the United States. The building is operated by CT Corporation, a subsidiary of the Dutch information services firm Wolters Kluwer, which provides registered agent services.

Many companies are incorporated in Delaware for its business-friendly General Corporation Law. It was estimated in 2012 that $9.5 billion of potential taxes had not been levied over the past decade due to an arrangement known as the "Delaware loophole". Companies formed in Delaware are required to have an address in the state at which process may be served. Therefore, Delaware entities with no physical office in the state must have a registered agent with a Delaware address. Notable companies represented by CT at the Wilmington location include Google, American Airlines, Apple Inc., General Motors, The Coca-Cola Company, Walmart, Verizon, Take-Two Interactive, United Parks & Resorts (formerly SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment), multiple subsidiaries of Merlin Entertainments, and more than 400 of Deutsche Bank's subsidiaries.
