Formation

A US company, without being American.

LLCs and C‑Corps in Delaware, Wyoming or your state of choice. You do not need to live in the United States, hold a visa or have a US partner. What you need is an agent, an EIN, and somebody tracking what falls due afterwards.

What is included

Three things a US company needs before it can trade

The filing itself is the easy part. What decides whether year two is calm is the agent, the tax number and the calendar behind them.

Step 01

Incorporation

Name check, articles filed with the Secretary of State, and the internal documents banks and investors ask to see.

  1. 1Name availability check in your state
  2. 2Articles of Organization or Incorporation filed
  3. 3Operating agreement or bylaws drafted
  4. 4Certificate and stamped copies returned to you

Step 02

Agent & address

Every US state requires a registered agent with a physical address in that state. Ours accepts service and forwards it the day it arrives.

  1. 1Registered agent in your state of filing
  2. 2Business address for correspondence
  3. 3State notices scanned and forwarded
  4. 4Annual report reminders on your calendar

Step 03

EIN & tax setup

The federal tax number that every bank, payment provider and marketplace will ask for before they open anything.

  1. 1EIN obtained from the IRS
  2. 2ITIN support where a member needs one
  3. 3Federal and state filing calendar built
  4. 4Form 5472 flagged if the company is foreign-owned

How it runs

Four steps from first call to a company that can bank

Timelines depend on the state and the IRS, so we quote the realistic range rather than the best case.

01

Structure call

Which state, LLC or C‑Corp, single or multi-member, and what it means for your tax position at home.

02

Filing

Documents prepared, signed and filed with the Secretary of State, with the agent appointed at the same time.

03

EIN

Applied for as soon as the state approves. Timing is the IRS’s, and it is slower without a US social security number.

04

Banking & handover

Your document pack, an introduction to providers that accept non-resident founders, and the filing calendar.

What we will not do

Four promises that are mostly about what we refuse to claim

US formation attracts a lot of confident marketing. These are the four places where we would rather be the boring supplier.

Ask us to put any of it in writing. All four are in the proposal before you pay anything.

  1. 01

    We will not promise you a bank account

    We prepare every document a bank or payment provider asks for and point you at the ones that accept founders in your situation. The approval is always theirs.

    Anyone guaranteeing an account is guaranteeing something they do not control.

  2. 02

    We will not tell you it makes you tax-free

    A US LLC does not remove your obligations where you live, and for many owners it creates new ones. We say what the structure does and does not do.

    Returns are prepared and filed with licensed accountants in each jurisdiction.

  3. 03

    We will not quote the best case

    Delaware and Wyoming are usually a few business days. Some states take two weeks. EIN issuance is the IRS’s timeline and can run to five weeks without an SSN.

    You get the realistic range for your state before you pay.

  4. 04

    We will not hold your company hostage

    The agent can be changed, the documents are yours, and nothing about the structure requires our continued involvement.

    If you leave, you leave with the whole file.

Questions

What founders ask about US LLCs

Bring anything missing to the structure call. It costs nothing to answer before the filing and rather a lot afterwards.

Do I need to live in the US or have a visa?

No. A US LLC has no residency or citizenship requirement for its members, and forming one does not give you the right to live or work in the United States.

What you do need is a registered agent in your state of filing, valid identification, and a correspondence address. We provide the first and check the third.

Delaware or Wyoming?

Delaware if you expect outside investment — investors know its corporate law and will not ask questions about it. Wyoming if you are self-funded and want lower annual costs and no state income tax on the entity.

If your business has a physical presence in a particular state, you may need to register there regardless. We check that before recommending anywhere.

What is Form 5472, and does it apply to me?

It is an information return required of a US company that is at least 25% foreign-owned, covering transactions between the company and its owner. A single-member foreign-owned LLC has to file it with a pro-forma Form 1120 even when the LLC owes no US tax.

The penalty for missing it starts at $25,000, which is why it goes on your filing calendar on the day the company exists rather than being discovered a year later.

How long before I can actually trade?

The company exists once the state approves the filing — a few business days in Delaware or Wyoming. Trading usually waits on the EIN, because banks and payment providers ask for it, and that is the IRS’s timeline rather than ours.
