Form a US company from anywhere in the world
Over the last decade, the US LLC has quietly become the default operating vehicle for global online founders — creators, SaaS operators, e-commerce sellers, consultants, and traders. The reason is boring and powerful: it gives you the world's deepest payment infrastructure, US-grade contracting, and a tax structure that — for most non-US owners — keeps profits pass-through and US-tax-free. This page is the map. Pick your country, city, or profession to go deeper, or jump straight into the guided filing.
Why founders worldwide pick a US LLC
Payment rails
Stripe, PayPal, Wise, Mercury — every major payment processor opens up the moment your LLC has an EIN and a US bank.
Contracting
US clients and enterprises onboard a US LLC in minutes; foreign individuals get stuck in W-8BEN-E and procurement queues.
Tax-efficient
Non-US owners with no US-source income and no US presence typically owe no US federal tax on LLC profits.
Banking
Mercury, Wise Business, Relay — fully remote onboarding from 100+ countries with a passport and your LLC docs.
Optionality
Start lean as an LLC. Convert to a Delaware C-Corp later if and when US investors enter the picture.
Liability
An LLC keeps business liability, IP, and revenue separate from your personal finances.
Wyoming vs Delaware vs New Mexico
The three states non-US founders pick 95% of the time. Each fits a different goal — we'll recommend yours during the application.
Wyoming
Lowest annual cost, strong privacy, no state income tax. Default pick for non-US founders running online businesses.
Delaware
Investor-ready. The default if you plan to raise from US VCs or convert to a C-Corp later.
New Mexico
No annual report or franchise tax. Strong privacy. Cheap to maintain long-term.
