USA Company Formation

Form your company in the United States — the world's largest economy with unmatched access to capital markets, talent and customers. We handle everything from state filing to EIN registration.

Why incorporate in the USA?

The USA offers a flat 21% federal corporate tax rate, with many states (Delaware, Wyoming, Nevada) offering no state corporate income tax or very favourable conditions. LLCs can elect pass-through taxation, avoiding double taxation. The US provides access to a consumer market of 330+ million people and the world's deepest capital markets.

Non-US residents can form and own US companies without any citizenship or residency requirements in most states. Delaware is the gold standard for C-Corps, Wyoming is popular for LLCs due to low costs and strong privacy. US law provides robust IP protections, transparent courts and well-established commercial regulations.

Frequently asked questions

LLC or C-Corp — which is better for a foreign owner?
An LLC offers pass-through taxation (no double taxation) and operational flexibility. A C-Corp is preferred if you plan to raise venture capital or go public. We advise based on your specific goals and tax situation.
Which state should I incorporate in?
Delaware is the gold standard for C-Corps due to its Court of Chancery and established case law. Wyoming is popular for LLCs due to low costs, strong privacy and no state income tax. We help you choose the best fit.
Can a non-US resident form a US company?
Yes. There is no requirement for US citizenship or residency. You will need a registered agent in the state of incorporation (which we provide) and an EIN from the IRS.
How long does formation take?
Standard processing takes 3–5 business days in most states. Expedited (same-day or next-day) processing is available in Delaware, Wyoming and many other states for an additional fee.
What is an EIN?
An Employer Identification Number is a federal tax ID issued by the IRS. It is required for opening a US bank account, filing tax returns and hiring employees. We handle the application on your behalf.
Can I open a US bank account remotely?
Some US banks allow remote account opening for non-resident-owned companies, particularly for Delaware and Wyoming entities. We introduce you to banking partners that specialise in serving international clients.
