A US LLC unlocks US business banking through non-resident-friendly fintech platforms, plus Stripe, PayPal Business and virtually every major global payment processor. Many B2B clients and platforms specifically require a US entity to transact.
Amazon FBA, Apple App Store, Google Workspace, Shopify Payments — all require a US entity. A US LLC solves this immediately for non-US founders trying to access these critical platforms.
US VCs, angels and accelerators (Y Combinator, Techstars) strongly prefer Delaware C-Corps. A US entity signals seriousness and makes cap table management and SAFE notes straightforward.
An LLC creates a legal wall between your personal assets and business liabilities. Wyoming, Nevada and South Dakota offer some of the strongest LLC charging order protections globally.
You never need to set foot in the USA to register, bank or operate. Everything is handled remotely — all 50-state filings, IRS correspondence and document delivery done digitally.
A US LLC with no US-source income and no US employees is generally a disregarded entity. Non-resident owners typically owe no US federal income tax on foreign-source income. Always verify with a US CPA.
Both packages cover full US company registration. Standard gets your company registered; Premium gets it registered and operational — with a bank account open and ready to transact. Choose based on how quickly you need to be live and whether you want expert banking support.
The most important decision in US company registration is your state, and it depends on your business type, insurance requirements, logistics needs and annual cost tolerance — not a one-size-fits-all answer. Click your category for a specific recommendation, including states to avoid and why.

Banking is usually the real reason non-residents pursue US company registration — and the step with the most uncertainty. Here is what actually works, and what no honest provider can promise.
We keep this deliberately clear, because most guidance buries you in tax jargon. There are really just three things every US company must do — and then a few things that only apply depending on your business. No confusion, no scare tactics.
Tell us your business type, preferred state and package, and we'll send a complete US company registration quote covering every cost of your US company registration. Free, personalised, no obligation. No hidden fees discovered later.

The right US state depends on your business type. Delaware ($160 filing, $300/yr min) for VC-backed companies and SaaS startups. Wyoming ($100 filing, $60/yr) for asset protection and privacy.

States like California ($800/yr minimum), Massachusetts ($500/yr) and New York (mandatory publication requirement costing $1,000–$1,500) should be avoided for non-resident entities with no physical presence.
