US LLC formation for non-residents

A Wyoming or Delaware LLC gives you a US company, a US bank account and access to Stripe, Amazon and American clients. Owned by a non-resident without US business activity, it pays no US federal income tax.

Formation

Your LLC in Wyoming, or Delaware on request: Articles of Organization, Operating Agreement, Certificate of Good Standing and one year of registered agent.

EIN

Your company's US tax number, applied for as a non-resident.

Banking

Slash as your main account and Revolut as backup. We tell you what the banks need before your documents arrive, and prepare the application with you.

Cashback card

A business card with up to 2.3% cashback on your company spend.

ITIN

Your personal US taxpayer number. We prepare the W-7 and submit it through a Certifying Acceptance Agent. The IRS takes 8 to 12 weeks.

Optional

Unique US address

A never-used US street address for one year, with mail forwarding and a utility bill. Not a shared agent address, so banks and platforms accept it as a real business location.

How it holds up at home

If you live in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands or Spain, an LLC does not lower your tax. Its profit usually lands in your tax return at home. The LLC pays off once you live in a country that does not tax that income, which is why we plan it together with your residency.

Questions about US LLC

Not listed? Ask it on your strategy call.

Do I pay US tax on my LLC?

A single member LLC owned by a non-resident is disregarded for US tax. Without income effectively connected with a US trade or business, there is no US federal income tax. You are taxed where you live.

Wyoming or Delaware?

Wyoming for most founders: low annual fees, no state income tax and strong privacy. Delaware if you want its courts or may convert to a C Corp later.

Which filings are required?

A single-member LLC files Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 by 15 April; missing it carries a $25,000 penalty. A multi-member LLC files Form 1065 with Schedules K-1 and K-2 by 15 March. Wyoming adds an annual report due on the first day of your anniversary month.

What do I need to start?

A passport photo of every member, taken with your phone. A proof of address in your own name, less than 3 months old. Three company names, a short description of your business and a US phone number. You fill it all in once, in your client portal.

Can I use an LLC while I still live at home?

You can, but it does not save you tax there. Its value is access to US clients, platforms and dollars. The tax benefit follows when your residency changes.
