Company formation

Your US LLC, formed from wherever you live

We check the name, file your LLC in Wyoming or Delaware, apply for the EIN and act as your registered agent. No SSN, no US address of your own and no trip to the US.

Formation Essentials from $199 a year, plus state fees. Tax filing and bookkeeping are separate, or included in Full Compliance.

Choosing Wyoming or Delaware, then the filing: name availability checked, Articles of Organization filed, registered agent assigned and the EIN application (Form SS-4) submitted, ending with the filing accepted by the Wyoming Secretary of State.

Founders use their formation documents to apply with providers like these

We prepare the documents; each provider decides its own approvals.

C-Corp plans, side by side

Questions

What founders ask before they form

Short answers to the questions we hear most. Anything else, ask us directly.

Ask about your business
Can I form an LLC from outside the US?

Yes. Our service is built for non-US founders. Your residence, business activity and ownership still matter for service eligibility and later banking applications.

Do I need an SSN or ITIN?

Not for our LLC formation and EIN application service. Personal tax filings and banking providers may have additional requirements.

What is included in the annual price?

Essentials includes formation, EIN application, an Operating Agreement, registered agent service, a business address and digital mailroom. Setup happens once; the subscription supports ongoing services. State fees are additional. Federal tax filing and bookkeeping are excluded from Essentials.

How long does the process take?

State registration and EIN issuance are separate stages, each with its own processing time. Timing also depends on receiving complete information from you. Banking applications follow formation and have a separate review process.

Wyoming or Delaware: which state should I choose?

Wyoming costs less to maintain each year and does not list members on the public record. Delaware is the state investors know best and charges a higher flat annual tax. The state-fee table on this page shows the current figures with their source. If you plan to raise venture capital, Delaware is usually the reason to pay more; otherwise most solo founders start in Wyoming.

Will my LLC have tax or reporting obligations?

It may. Requirements depend on ownership, tax classification and business activity, including activity outside the US. Tax filing is available separately or with Full Compliance. Formation alone does not remove your filing obligations.

Does formation include a bank account?

No. We provide formation documents and apply for the EIN. Your chosen bank or payment provider decides eligibility and approval, and may request additional documents and address evidence.

What do I need to do every year to keep the LLC in good standing?

Keep a registered agent, file the state's annual report or pay its annual tax, and file the federal return your ownership and classification require. A foreign-owned single-member LLC files Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 for any year with reportable transactions, even with no revenue. Full Compliance covers the state compliance filing and the federal filing; Essentials covers the registered agent only.

LLC or C-Corp: which fits a non-resident founder?

Most solo founders choose an LLC: simpler upkeep, a lighter federal filing and pass-through treatment. A C-Corp makes sense when you plan to raise venture capital or issue stock options, because investors expect it, and it comes with a corporate return and franchise tax. Entity choice depends on your ownership, funding and business plans; ask us before you decide.

What happens if the state rejects the filing?

Every filing is reviewed before we submit it. If a state rejects a formation filing because of an error in a document we prepared, we correct and resubmit it at no charge for our work. Refund terms are set out in the Terms of Service.
