Are you a freelance developer, e-commerce seller, consultant, or digital entrepreneur dreaming of scaling your business internationally? Setting up a US LLC (Limited Liability Company) is the most powerful tool to optimize your taxes, protect your personal assets, and easily access the global market.

However, dealing with US regulations can quickly feel overwhelming: choosing the right state, legal paperwork, applying for an EIN, opening a corporate US bank account...

This is exactly where LLC Place comes in, the number 1 online platform built for non-US residents. Learn how to launch your US company in just a few clicks with total peace of mind.

Why form a US LLC as a non-US resident?

Before exploring how our platform simplifies the process, let’s look at the key benefits of running a US business structure from abroad:

  • Pass-Through Taxation (Tax-Free LLC): If you are a non-US resident with no physical presence, offices, or employees in the US, your LLC can be considered tax-transparent. You won’t be subject to US Corporate Income Tax.
  • Asset Protection: A Limited Liability Company protects your personal wealth. Your personal assets are legally separated and shielded from business liabilities.
  • Global Payment Processing: Owning a company in the USA unlocks access to tier-1 payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal US) and major international marketplaces (Amazon FBA).

The LLC Place method: your US company in three simple steps

Forget traditional law firms charging thousands of dollars or complex administrative jargon. Our digital platform fully automates your US LLC setup. Here is how it works, entirely from your computer:

Step 1: configure your project in 10 minutes

In our dashboard, you select your company name and filing state (such as Wyoming for low annual fees or Delaware for venture-backed startups). Fill out a simple form without any complex legal terms. Get started →

Step 2: we handle formation and the EIN application

Once your order is placed, our team takes over and handles the formation of your US LLC for you:

  • We file your Articles of Organization with the Secretary of State of your chosen state.
  • We provide your mandatory physical US business address.
  • We handle the IRS application to obtain your EIN (Employer Identification Number), required for operations.

Step 3: open your US bank account and start invoicing

Once your LLC is officially approved, we guide you step by step through opening a US business bank account with top digital partners like Mercury Bank. Get your business debit cards and start collecting payments worldwide!

Wyoming, Delaware or New Mexico: which state to pick

The state you choose drives your annual fees and your privacy. For a US company owned by a non-resident, three states come up almost every time.

StateStrong pointBest for
WyomingLow annual fees and member privacyOnline sellers, consultants, creators
DelawareThe go-to legal framework for raising moneyStartups and investor-backed projects
New MexicoThe cheapest option, no state Annual ReportTight budgets and simple activities

In the vast majority of cases Wyoming remains the best compromise for a non-resident entrepreneur selling services or products online.

One-click management and tax compliance

The real challenge with a US company isn’t just forming it; it’s keeping it compliant year after year. Many international entrepreneurs face penalties for missing mandatory IRS filings (such as Form 5472 and the pro forma 1120).

The classic mistake that costs money

Many owners assume that 0% tax means no filing. It does not. Form 5472 stays mandatory even with no taxable profit. We flag it, and our tax compliance service handles that filing, available as an option at €199 per year, or €398 per year with a dedicated tax expert, and included in the Pro and Founder plans.

With LLC Place, you are never left alone. Our software goes beyond incorporation to become your long-term corporate dashboard. We track your Annual Report renewals, handle document filings, and secure your US tax compliance so you can focus entirely on scaling your business.

Ready to take the leap?

Don’t let US administrative hurdles hold back your global growth. Whether you want to optimize your software business or expand your e-commerce brand, our online platform offers the fastest and safest path to your first dollar in revenue.

Frequently asked questions

Can you form a US LLC without traveling and without an SSN?

Yes. The whole registration happens online, without ever setting foot in the United States. The EIN comes from the IRS without a US Social Security number, through a route reserved for non-residents that we handle for you.

How long does it take to form a US company?

Filling in your file takes about ten minutes. The articles are often processed within a few business days depending on the state, then the EIN arrives in 3 to 5 business days. You are kept posted at every stage from your dashboard.

Does a non-resident LLC pay tax in the US?

A single-member US company owned by a non-resident, with no physical presence and no income effectively connected to a US trade or business, pays no US federal tax on its profits. It must still file Form 5472 every year. Your income is taxed in your country of tax residence.

Which state should a non-resident choose?

Wyoming suits most projects thanks to its low fees and member privacy. Delaware is aimed at projects built to raise capital, and New Mexico appeals to the tightest budgets. Our team points you to the right one based on what you actually do.
