Questions before you start
Can I form an LLC while living outside the US?
Yes. The state formation filing is handled remotely. Texas expressly permits non-resident ownership and Wyoming offers online formation through an organizer. You still need a registered agent in the state. Banking, tax and licensing have their own rules.
Do I need an SSN or ITIN before starting?
Not always. An EIN application can follow the IRS's non-SSN route when the responsible party has no SSN or ITIN and is not eligible for one. We review your situation rather than requiring an ITIN for every formation.
Should I choose Wyoming or Texas?
Start with where the business will operate. Wyoming may suit a remote founder with no specific US operating state. Texas may fit a real Texas operation. Forming in Wyoming does not remove possible Texas obligations. Use the free check before deciding.
Do I need a US office or address?
You need a registered agent with a physical office in the formation state, which is included for the first year. A registered-agent address is not automatically your operating address or acceptable for banking. We explain the difference before you choose an address service.
Is a Wyoming LLC anonymous?
Not completely. Wyoming's standard Articles do not ask for member or manager names, but other filing information is public, registered agents keep company records, and financial providers check identity and ownership.
Will a Texas LLC show my name publicly?
It can. Texas formation documents identify the initial managers, or the members when there are no managers. The annual Public Information Report also discloses governing persons.
How long does formation take?
Our preparation target is a few business days after we receive everything needed. State review and EIN processing are separate. Wyoming's eligible online filings can become active immediately; Texas timing depends on the filing route. We confirm the current estimate before submission.
Does forming an LLC mean I owe no US tax?
No. Tax depends on ownership, tax classification, income and activity. Even when no income tax is due, information returns such as Form 5472 may still be required. Ask for a tax review before relying on a "tax-free LLC" claim.

Form your US LLC from abroad
Wyoming or Texas. We file with the state, get your EIN and set up the next steps. No US visit needed.
State agencies and the IRS make their own decisions. We prepare, file and explain.
Two states. A clearer starting point.
A limited liability company (LLC) is a company formed under state law. We focus on two clear options: Wyoming for founders running a remote business, and Texas for founders building a real Texas operation. If your plans need another state or entity type, we tell you before you proceed.
Formation creates the company
The state filing is the legal start of your LLC. It does not issue an EIN, open a bank account or settle your tax position.
The other steps are separate
EIN, banking, payments, licences and annual filings each have their own requirements. We show them one at a time.
Free check before you choose
We start with where you will work, sell, hire and keep stock. Then we help you compare the two states.
Two trusted states, one streamlined process
The same service in both states. State fees are shown separately, never hidden in our price.
Wyoming LLC
A lower-fee option for a remote business without an office, staff or another clear US operating state.
Wyoming’s standard Articles do not ask for member or manager names. This is limited public-record privacy, not complete anonymity.
Texas LLC
A strong home-state option for founders planning a real Texas office, team or local business operation.
Texas formation lists the initial managers or members. Annual Comptroller reporting also applies.
Not sure which package fits? Book a free 15-minute call. We do not promise state approval, an IRS completion date or approval by a bank or payment provider.
Which state is right for me?
A starting point, not legal or tax advice. We confirm the details with you before filing.
Will you have an office, employees or regular operations in Texas?
Start by reviewing Texas. Forming elsewhere may add another registration and another set of obligations.
Will you run the business from abroad without a US operating location?
Wyoming may be worth considering. We still review your activity and future plans.
Will you store products in the US or use fulfilment services?
Tell us where. Stock and activity can affect state obligations beyond the formation state.
Is privacy a priority?
We explain what each state puts on public record. Neither package removes required identity checks.
Planning outside investment or complex ownership?
Tell us before you order. We may recommend a separate legal or tax review first.

Federal steps worth knowing about
No tax owed does not always mean no forms to file. We explain which compliance services are included and which need a separate order.
EIN without an SSN or ITIN
The IRS allows Form SS-4 to say “foreign” or “N/A” when the responsible party has no SSN or ITIN and cannot get one. Applying to the IRS is free; our fee is a service fee.
Form 5472 + pro forma 1120
A US LLC owned by one foreign person generally files these when it has reportable transactions, even with no revenue. The initial penalty for not filing can be $25,000. We file it every year →
BOI reporting: exempt
As of October 2026, US-created LLCs, including foreign-owned ones, are exempt from FinCEN BOI reporting under the current final rule. We will not sell you a filing you do not need.
Tax classification
One owner: disregarded entity by default. Two or more: partnership. A corporate election is possible. A nonresident’s US tax exposure depends on activity and income type, not on the state.
Need an ITIN or a bank account too?
We also help with ITIN applications and Mercury, Relay and Stripe setup.

What annual filings will I need?
Wyoming requires an Annual Report and licence tax, starting at $60. Texas LLCs generally file an annual Public Information Report, even when no franchise tax is due. Federal filings depend on your circumstances. Annual filing services are separate unless your order says otherwise.
Does my foreign-owned US LLC need a BOI report?
As of October 2026, entities created in the US are exempt under FinCEN's current rule, including US LLCs with foreign owners. Banking ownership checks remain separate. We review the current rules before recommending any filing.
Is bank-account approval included?
No approval is guaranteed. The package includes a bank-readiness checklist, not a promise of an account. Application support for Mercury or Relay is a separate service and the provider decides.
