Solano Startup Cheat-Sheet To Get Started. Can You Avoid Paying $800 Year CA Corp Reg Fee?

Can you just register your company name to save costs, then incorporate later? Select a type of entity like sole proprietor (non incorporated) or an LLC or C type corporation. Pick your state of maybe Delaware. Pick some number of shares for your new company (don't stress).  How will the shares be divided between your fellow Solano investors?
