US company formation for non-residents, explained
What a founder outside the USA needs to know before setting up a US business.
Who can form a US company
Anyone, of any nationality and living anywhere. A non-resident can own 100% of a US LLC or corporation, manage it from abroad and sign everything online. You don't need a US partner, a visa, an SSN or a US address, and you never need to visit. A company you own abroad can also be the owner.
LLC or C-Corporation
An LLC is the usual choice for freelancers, agencies, online sellers and SaaS founders: simple to run, and a single-member LLC run from abroad often owes no US income tax. A C-Corporation pays 21% federal tax and suits startups raising investment. See LLC vs Inc for non-residents.
The EIN and the US bank account
The EIN is your company's US tax number. Non-residents get one without an SSN or ITIN, and it is needed for a US business bank account, Stripe, PayPal and Amazon. With both, US clients pay you by ACH or wire in dollars. See our EIN guide.
After formation
Every year the company renews with its state and files a federal return: for a foreign-owned single-member LLC, Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120, even with no income. Your home country taxes you under its own rules. See the complete US LLC guide and the guide for your country.

Frequently asked questions
Can a non-resident own a US company?
Yes. Anyone, of any nationality, can own 100% of a US LLC or corporation. You do not need a visa, SSN or US address, and you never need to visit the USA. We handle everything remotely.
Which state is best for a non-resident?
Wyoming is the most popular for its low fees and privacy, Delaware is preferred by startups raising investment, and Arizona has no annual report for LLCs. We recommend a state based on your business; see our state guides.
How long does the whole process take?
State approval of your company usually takes 3 to 19 business days from your order, depending on the state (Wyoming in 3 business days), the EIN typically one to four weeks for non-residents, and the bank account a few weeks after that, depending on the bank. You get updates on WhatsApp at every stage.
Can I open a US bank account without visiting?
Yes. Our bank packages include a remote US business bank account application with online banking, a debit card and international transfers. Approval is at the bank's discretion, and we guide you through verification.
Do I have to file US taxes?
Usually, yes. Even a foreign-owned LLC with no US income generally has an annual federal filing, and missing it can lead to steep penalties. Our US tax filing service takes care of this every year.
What documents do I need to set up a US company?
Usually only a passport for each owner and your chosen company name. For a US bank account, banks also ask for proof of address and a short description of your business. If a company will own the US company, we also need its certificate of incorporation.
Should I form an LLC or a C-Corporation?
Most freelancers, agencies, e-commerce sellers and SaaS founders choose an LLC: it is simple, and a single-member LLC run from abroad often owes no US income tax. A C-Corporation suits startups raising investment and companies with US staff or stock. See LLC vs Inc for non-residents.
How much does it cost to set up a US business?
A Wyoming LLC with EIN costs $249 all-in with us, including the state fee and the first year of registered agent service. Prices for every state are on our state pages, and our cost calculator shows the yearly cost to keep it running.
