umm why is that? delaware is a well known offshore "zone" ie almost anyone can open those, most EU countries allow anyone to open a company so long as they have a permit to resign in EU, some also allow offshore companies in which case you don't need the permit to resign in EU. Not to mention schemes where you register a company in lets say UK then re-domicile it to Cyprus to have a prestigious UK front, while actually having a Cyprus company. Big corps have such complex corporate structures that your head will spin wile trying to figure it all out
Your way of seeing the business world (on a global level) is somewhat limited.

This kind of catch 22 problem happens all the time when you are dealing with bureaucracy abroad, sometimes you think it's out of pure stupidity and incompetence, sometimes it feels like a deterrent for foreigners...
