Why an LLC Makes Sense for Starting a Business in the USA
An LLC is its own legal entity. If the business owes money or gets sued, creditors generally go after the company's assets, not your home or personal savings. That shield holds up best when you keep business and personal money in separate accounts and sign contracts in the company's name.
There's no board of directors, no required officers and no annual shareholder meeting. Run the LLC yourself as a member-managed company, or name a manager to handle daily operations while you stay an owner.
Adding a formal business designation to your name signals professionalism and stability to customers, vendors, and lenders, helping you stand out from unregistered sole proprietors and win more trust.
By default, an LLC's profits and losses pass through to the owners' tax returns instead of being taxed at the company level. An LLC can also elect to be taxed as a C-Corp, or as an S-Corp if every owner qualifies. Non-resident owners can't hold S-Corp status, so we look at your situation before recommending any tax election.
State filing fees run from $35 in Montana to $500 in Massachusetts, and yearly fees vary just as much. California, for one, charges an $800 minimum franchise tax every year. Forming in the right state for where you actually do business keeps those costs predictable.
Form Your US LLC. Open Your US Bank Accounts.
Once your LLC is registered and your EIN is issued, we help you open a US business bank account with trusted, non-resident-friendly banks, so you can accept payments, pay suppliers and run your business from anywhere in the world.
