Hey Craig,
Congratulations!
Well I would vote for Delaware since there are a number of benefits of
incorporating there, not to mention the lower costs. Also we already have
legal help from the software freedom law center, which is free. I would say
that yes we should get the tax exempt status, and yes we need accounting
help. Over all I would say not too much time and not very much money. It
just needs to get done so we can move on.
