Do I need to live in the US to start an LLC?
No. LLC Place is built for non-residents. No US citizenship, visa or physical presence required. We handle every step remotely.
How am I taxed as a non-resident owner?
A single-member LLC is treated as a 'disregarded entity', you only pay US tax on US-source income. We connect you with CPAs specialized in international founders who handle Form 5472 and 1120.
LLC Place can handle this for you through its specialized partner CPAs.
Delaware, Wyoming, New Mexico or Florida, which one?
Delaware is the standard for fundraising. Wyoming and New Mexico offer the lowest fees and best privacy. Florida fits if you plan US operations. Our team recommends based on your situation.
How long does formation actually take?
The online form takes about 10 minutes. State filing takes 1–3 business days in most states. EIN is issued in 5–10 business days on average.
Can you help me open a US bank account?
Yes. We provide pre-approved introductions with Mercury. You apply directly from your dashboard, most accounts open in 24 to 72 hours.
