Why founders choose us

Why founders choose us

Four things that are true about how we work, without a rating in sight.

Entirely remote

Formation, EIN application and every document happen online. No travel and no US address of your own is needed to form.

Two states, known well

We form in Wyoming and Delaware only, so the state's rules, fees and processing habits are familiar ground.

Four languages

English, Spanish, Portuguese and French, in the dashboard and by email.

Documents delivered digitally

Formation documents, the EIN letter and every filing we prepare land in your dashboard, ready to download.

A clear path forward

Four steps. Your own LLC.

Each step has an owner and a deliverable, so you always know what is happening and what you will receive.

  1. 01

    Share your details

    Tell us about your business, its owner and where you want to form.

    What you receive

    • A formation plan for your state and entity
    • Name availability check before anything is filed
    • A clear list of what we need from you

    Why it matters: The right state and entity at the start is what avoids re-filing later.

    Your part
  2. 02

    We form your LLC

    Your formation documents are prepared, reviewed and filed with the state.

    What you receive

    • Articles of Organization filed with Wyoming or Delaware
    • Operating Agreement drafted for you
    • Registered agent and business address in place

    Why it matters: Every later application is checked against these documents, so they have to be right the first time.

    State processing
  3. 03

    We apply for the EIN

    What you receive

    • EIN application prepared and submitted to the IRS
    • Your EIN letter in your dashboard when the IRS issues it

Timing & common questions

  • Articles of Organization prepared and filed
  • Operating Agreement drafted for you
  • EIN application prepared and submitted to the IRS

Every filing is reviewed before it goes out. When something we prepared is wrong, fixing it is on us.

  • A formation filing the state rejects because of an error in a document we prepared: corrected and resubmitted at no charge for our work
  • A form error in a federal filing we prepared: an amended filing prepared at no charge
  • A state fee charged again by the state is only ours to cover when the error was ours

Before you begin

Questions?
Let’s clear them up.

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.
