Who this is for

Start here if you invoice, take payments, or need a US name on the contract. You can form the company on its own, or pair it with residency.

This is for you if any of these fit

  • You need a US company that clients and processors already recognize.
  • You want to be taxed as a single foreign owner and do the work outside the US.
  • You want to invoice and sign in the company name, not your own.

The trade-offs

  • It does not cancel tax in your home country.
  • If you still invoice into the US, this tax logic is a poor fit.
  • After formation you have to keep the company in good standing.
  • US citizens and US tax residents have different rules.

Why a US LLC

A US LLC is a company that clients and payment processors already know. Income tax usually stays with you, and your name does not have to appear on the public paperwork.

Recognized worldwide

Clients, marketplaces, and counterparties already know a US company. That makes contracts and onboarding easier.

One owner, the tax stays with you

With a single-member LLC you usually do not pay a separate US company tax if the work stays outside the United States. The tax stays with you.

Owners stay private

Member names are generally not on the public record. The company invoices and signs in its own name.

Works with processors and banks

Payment processors and many banks already know how to work with a US LLC. That is often why people form one.

Personal assets stay separate

Contracts and claims go to the company. Your personal name is not the one on the invoice.

Simple to keep running

One owner and lighter formalities than a corporation. Yearly upkeep stays modest if you keep the company in good standing.

Questions before you form a US LLC

What matters is the state, ownership, whether you are a US citizen or US tax resident, tax filings, and yearly upkeep.

No. That page puts residency, tax residency, and a US LLC together. This page is just the company. Open the Tax-Free Setup page if you want the full pairing.
We recommend Wyoming for most clients. Formation and yearly upkeep stay low, and it is a strong choice if you want privacy. We can incorporate in another state when that fits better. Other states usually cost more, and that extra cost is billed to you.
Sometimes. People in the US have different limits. We say so straight on the call instead of selling a package that does not fit.
Formation starts at $990. Tax filings and later renewals can change the final cost. Tax-Free Setup is a larger package if you also need residency, banking, and processors.
We form the company and share starter operating notes. Help with bank accounts and payment processors is an extra service, billed separately. It is also part of Tax-Free Setup.

Confirm whether the LLC is enough

Book a free call. We will tell you whether to form the company alone, consider the full Tax-Free Setup, or use a different structure.

  • Start with the business

    We review how you earn, where you live, and whether a US LLC makes sense for you.

  • Leave with a clear next step

    You will know whether to form the company, and how to start running it after it exists.

  • What this page does not cover

    Bank accounts and payment processors are not included here. That fuller help is part of Tax-Free Setup.
