Start Your U.S. LLC — Simple, Fast, Affordable

Yes! There are no citizenship or residency requirements to form an LLC in the United States. You don't need a U.S. address, Social Security Number, or visa. Our service is specifically designed to help international founders from any country establish a U.S. business entity.

The best state depends on your business needs. Delaware and Wyoming are popular for their business-friendly laws and privacy protections. Wyoming has no state income tax and low annual fees. Delaware is preferred by venture-backed startups. If you'll have a physical presence in a specific state, forming there is often simplest. We provide state comparisons to help you decide.

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a federal tax ID issued by the IRS. You need it to open a U.S. bank account, hire employees, file taxes, and work with payment processors like Stripe and PayPal. All our packages include EIN application at no additional cost. We handle the entire IRS application process for you.

A registered agent is a person or company designated to receive legal documents, tax notices, and official government correspondence on behalf of your LLC. Every LLC must have a registered agent with a physical address in the state of formation. We provide professional registered agent service for one year free with both packages.

State filing fees are charges imposed by the state government to process your LLC formation. These fees vary by state, typically ranging from $50 to $500. They are separate from our service fee and paid directly to the state when we file your documents. We provide a complete cost breakdown before you commit, so there are no surprises.

Processing times vary by state. Most states approve LLCs within 5-14 business days. Some states like Wyoming can be as fast as 2-3 days, while others may take up to 4 weeks. We obtain your EIN within 1-3 business days. Once approved, we deliver all documents to you within 24 hours. You can track your application status in your dashboard.

No personal U.S. address is required. Your LLC needs a registered agent address (which we provide), but you can use your international address as the business address. If you need a U.S. mailing address for banking or other purposes, we can discuss virtual address solutions.

Yes, but policies vary by bank. Some U.S. banks require you to visit in person, while others allow remote opening for international founders. We recommend digital-first banks like Mercury, Relay, or Wise Business, which allow remote account opening with your LLC documents and EIN. Our Premium package includes guidance on banking setup.

Standard ($49) covers LLC formation essentials: filing, EIN, registered agent, and basic documents. Premium ($99) adds business infrastructure: a 5-page website, hosting, business email, U.S. phone number (1 year), tax return filing assistance, payment processor setup guidance, and priority support. Premium is ideal if you want a complete business presence.

Tax obligations depend on your business activities. If you have U.S.-sourced income or employees, you may need to file U.S. tax returns. Foreign-owned single-member LLCs with no U.S. business activity typically file Form 5472 annually. We recommend consulting with an international tax professional. Our Premium package includes basic single-member LLC tax return preparation for the first year.

Requirements vary by state. Most states require an annual report and renewal fee. Some states have franchise taxes. You'll also need to maintain your registered agent service and keep business records current. We provide a compliance checklist with your LLC documents and can send reminders for important deadlines.

Rejections are rare when applications are properly prepared. The most common reason is a business name that's already taken or too similar to another. We check name availability before filing. If a rejection occurs due to our error, we'll refile at no additional charge. If it's due to information you provided, we'll work with you to correct it (state refiling fees may apply).
