Questions, answered
Yes. The vast majority of our clients are non-U.S. residents. You do not need a U.S. address, SSN, or to travel to the United States — we handle the entire process remotely.
Choose an LLC if you want simplicity and pass-through taxes — ideal for e-commerce, freelancing, and small teams. Choose a C-Corp if you plan to raise money from investors or issue equity. Both cost the same to form with us.
Company filing in your chosen state, your EIN, formation documents, and an operating agreement — plus guidance to open your U.S. business bank account. The only additional cost is the government state fee, shown at cost.
Just your company name, personal address, and contact details. No documents are required to begin. Later, you will need a passport to set up your bank account.
Company formation typically takes about a week, documents follow within 1–2 days, and bank account setup usually completes within 3–5 business days.
