ADVANTAGES of Investing in a Delaware LLC
Investing in a Delaware LLC offers several advantages compared to investing in a non-Delaware LLC. Here are some key benefits:
The Advantages
1. Favorable Tax Policies: Delaware does not impose income tax on corporations that do not conduct business within the state. This means that if your LLC operates outside of Delaware, you can potentially avoid paying state income tax. [1 & 2]
2. Legal Protections: Delaware's Court of Chancery specializes in corporate law and provides a stable legal environment with strong asset protection. This court is known for its expertise in handling business disputes, offering predictability and reliability in legal matters. [2 & 3]
3. Privacy: Delaware does not require the disclosure of the names of LLC members or managers in public records, providing a level of privacy and anonymity for investors. [2 & 3]
4. Flexibility in Business Structure: Delaware allows for a streamlined and flexible corporate structure. For example, a single person can hold the roles of officer, director, and shareholder, simplifying administrative requirements. [3]
5. No Residency Requirement: There is no residency requirement for LLC members, managers, or shareholders in Delaware. This provides flexibility for businesses with stakeholders located in different states or even internationally. [3]
6. Efficient Filing Process: Delaware is known for its quick and efficient filing process, often processing filings on the same day they are submitted. This allows businesses to start operating without unnecessary delays. [2]
Comparison to Non-Delaware LLCs
Tax Benefits: While some states like Wyoming also offer favorable tax policies, Delaware's combination of no state income tax for out-of-state operations and no sales tax makes it particularly attractive. [4 & 5]
Legal Environment: Delaware's Court of Chancery is unique in its focus on corporate law, providing a level of legal expertise and predictability that is unmatched by most other states. [2]
Privacy and Anonymity: Few states offer the same level of privacy protection as Delaware, making it a preferred choice for investors who value anonymity. [3]
Flexibility and Efficiency: Delaware's streamlined corporate structure and efficient filing process are significant advantages over many other states, which may have more cumbersome requirements and slower processing times. [2 & 3]
Investing in a Delaware LLC can provide significant benefits in terms of tax savings, legal protections, privacy, and operational efficiency. If you have any specific scenarios or further questions, feel free to ask!

Our system is modular, easy to transport, quick to set up, and designed with safety as a top priority, reducing job-site injuries. Plus, we are introducing Industry 4.0 practices into our manufacturing, allowing us to scale quickly while maintaining high-quality standards. Our low customer acquisition costs (CAC) and proven product-market fit give us an edge in rapidly growing the business.
How does HERM Logic make money?

How do you plan to scale the business in the U.S. market?
Response:
Scaling the business in the U.S. market involves leveraging current manufacturing capabilities to meet demand and strategically expanding operations. HERM Logic has the capacity to produce 55 units per week (2,640 annually), fulfilling projected sales needs for the next two years. To further scale, plans are in place to establish a U.S.-based manufacturing facility in Florida or Texas by 2027. This expansion supports local production, reduces lead times, and strengthens the brand’s presence in a market with significant growth potential.
What risks should I be aware of as an investor?
Response:
Like any business entering a new market, HERM Logic faces risks related to competition, market adoption, and regulatory compliance. However, we have mitigated these risks by thoroughly testing our product in smaller markets (Australia and New Zealand), refining our production process, and ensuring full compliance with international safety standards, including ISO9001 and U.S. and European standards (ANSI-ASC A14.5, EN131). Our deep industry knowledge and strong relationships in the sector further reduce risks as we expand.
What is the expected return on investment (ROI)?
Response:
We aim to deliver a strong ROI by rapidly expanding into the U.S. market and scaling up sales of our third-generation product. Based on our growth trajectory in Australia and New Zealand, we project revenue to reach $100 million by 2028, with a target valuation of 5x at that point. Investors who come in early can benefit from our VIP Early-Bird Investor Program, which includes discounted share prices and additional perks for industry investors.
What makes the HERM Material Lift unique compared to competitors?
Response:
The HERM Material Lift is the first of its kind to combine lightweight, non-conductive, corrosion-resistant materials with the ability to lift up to 260 kg (570 lbs) to a height of 21 meters (69 feet) and transport it across rooftops. Our lift is also modular, making it highly adaptable to different job-site conditions, and designed with the increasing diversity of the workforce in mind, including women and older workers who may find traditional lifting methods difficult or unsafe. These innovations address common contractor pain points and make HERM a one-of-a-kind solution.
How much capital are you raising, and how will it be used?
Response:
We are seeking to raise $1.2 million in this funding round. The funds will be used to support our U.S. market entry, including production scaling, sales team expansion, marketing efforts, and strategic partnerships with distributors. A portion will also go toward R&D to continuously improve the HERM system and ensure it remains ahead of the competition in terms of safety and efficiency.
What traction has HERM Logic achieved so far?

Since its inception in 2018, HERM Logic has achieved an average annual sales growth of 126%, generating over $4.24 million in revenue across the Australian and New Zealand markets. This strong track record highlights the market demand and scalability of its innovative material lift systems.
With a proven sales process, lean manufacturing model, and strategic partnerships with distributors and contractors, HERM Logic is well-positioned to replicate this success and accelerate penetration into the lucrative U.S. market.
How do you acquire customers, and what is your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)?
Response:
Our CAC is 15%, which includes sales commissions and bonuses. We acquire customers through a combination of industry partnerships, direct sales, and trade shows, along with leveraging digital marketing and content strategies targeted at roofing, solar, and HVAC contractors. We have a clear roadmap for entering the U.S. market, based on lessons learned from our successful growth in Australia and New Zealand. (re: "Join Us")
