Company Formation
US LLC formation support for founders in the US and abroad
A limited liability company is created under the law of a single US state. We help you weigh the state options, prepare the information the filing needs, coordinate the application with the state office and plan what usually follows formation. Your quotation lists exactly what is included.
Who this service is for
- Founders outside the United States who plan to sell to US customers or on US marketplaces.
- US residents starting a small business who want a structured, guided filing.
- Amazon sellers who want a business entity in place before marketplace registration.
- Founders still comparing states who would like the trade-offs explained before deciding.
Support available
State selection discussion
We walk through the factors that usually matter: where you will operate, state filing and annual fees, annual report rules, privacy of member information and what banks or marketplaces may ask for. You make the decision.
Name availability checks
We check proposed names against the chosen state's business records and naming rules before anything is filed.
Articles of Organization
We prepare the formation details for the state filing, including the organizer, management structure and registered agent information.
Registered agent arrangement
Every LLC needs a registered agent with a physical address in its state. You can appoint your own or ask us to arrange one as a separately quoted item.
Operating agreement draft
A template-based operating agreement can be prepared for your review. It is a starting document, not legal advice.
Post-formation planning
We set out the next steps to consider, such as an EIN, a business address, banking and state annual obligations.
Typical process

You receive the documents issued and a checklist of the next steps we discussed.
Steps and timing depend on your circumstances and on the organisations involved. Your quotation sets out the agreed steps.
Information needed to start
To prepare an accurate quotation, it helps to have the following ready. Please do not send identity documents, bank details or passwords through the website.
- Two or three proposed company names, in order of preference
- Preferred state, or a note that you would like guidance
- Number of members and the intended ownership split
- Whether the LLC will be member-managed or manager-managed
- Country of residence of each member
- A short description of the business activity
- Whether you already have a registered agent or US address
Scope and exclusions to confirm
Your written quotation is the final word on what is included. These points are confirmed with every client:
- State filing fees are government charges and are confirmed in your quotation.
- Registered agent service, business address, EIN, ITIN, banking, tax filings, domain and website are only included if your quotation lists them.
- State annual reports and franchise taxes vary by state. We explain them; filing them is a separate service.
- We do not give legal or tax advice. For advice on your situation, speak with a licensed attorney or tax professional.
- Processing times are set by each state and can change.
Frequently asked questions
Which state should I choose for my LLC?
There is no state that suits everyone. Founders often compare Wyoming, Delaware, New Mexico and the state where they actually operate, and each has different fees, annual requirements and practical considerations. We explain the trade-offs; for tax consequences, speak with a qualified tax adviser.
Can I own a US LLC if I live outside the United States?
US states generally do not require LLC members to be US citizens or residents. Related questions, such as tax obligations, banking access and how an EIN is applied for, depend on your circumstances and are discussed before we quote.
Do I need a registered agent?
Yes. Each state requires an LLC to keep a registered agent with a physical address in that state to receive official documents. You can use any eligible agent, or ask us to include one in your quotation.
How long does formation take?
It depends on the state, its current processing times and whether an expedited option is available and chosen. We share the state's current published information when we prepare your quotation rather than promising a fixed time.
Is an EIN included with LLC formation?
Only if your quotation lists it. Many owners apply for an EIN once the LLC exists. See EIN Application Assistance for how that support works.
