Common questions.
Can a non-US resident form a US LLC?
Yes. You do not need to be a US citizen or resident, and you do not need to visit the US. Everything is done online.
Do I need an SSN or ITIN to get an EIN?
No. Non-residents can get an EIN without an SSN or ITIN by filing Form SS-4 with the IRS. We prepare and submit it for you.
Is the state filing fee included?
Yes. Our package price includes the state filing fee. Yearly state fees, such as annual reports, and registered agent renewals after the first year are separate.
Which state should I choose?
For most online businesses, Wyoming or New Mexico keep yearly costs lowest. Delaware suits startups that plan to raise investment. We explain the options on a free call before you pay.
Do I have to file taxes in the US?
A foreign-owned single-member LLC usually has to file Form 5472 with the IRS every year, even with no US income. We are not tax advisers, so we recommend a US accountant for your returns.
Can you guarantee a bank account?
No. We prepare and support your application, but each bank or payment provider makes its own decision.
