Don't see yours? Write to us, we reply within 24h.
Do I need to reside in the United States to create an LLC?
No residency requirement is imposed. Our service is aimed precisely at entrepreneurs based outside the United States. No US citizenship, no visa and no travel to the territory are required: the entire procedure is carried out remotely on your behalf.
How am I taxed as a non-resident owner?
If you are not a US tax resident do not carry on a trade or business on US soil, and your income is not US-sourced, your LLC is generally taxed at 0% federally (treated as a "disregarded entity"). You remain, however, required to file the Form 5472 and the pro forma 1120 each year, a purely informational obligation with no US tax owed. Every situation is different, so always have yours reviewed.
LLC Place can handle this for you through its US tax experts.
What is the best State to open an LLC?
Wyoming and New Mexico offer the lowest fees and the best privacy, ideal for e-commerce sellers and freelancers. Delaware remains the reference for raising funds from US investors.
No residency requirement is imposed.
How long does formation really take?
The online form takes about 10 minutes. Filing with the State is 1 to 3 business days in most States. The EIN is issued in 5 to 21 business days on average.
Can you help me open a US bank account?
Yes. Depending on the plan you choose, we open your US bank account through our partner Mercury. You apply directly from your dashboard, and most accounts open within 24 to 72 hours.
Can you get an EIN without a Social Security Number?
Yes. We file the SS-4 form by fax with the IRS for you. You will receive confirmation of your EIN (CP 575 letter) without needing an SSN or an ITIN.
