States like California ($800 minimum tax every year) or New York (costly newspaper publication requirement) rarely make sense unless you actually operate there. We’ll tell you honestly on a free call.
A US LLC owned by a single non-US person must file IRS Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 every year — even if the company made no money. Missing it can trigger a $25,000 IRS penalty. That’s why this filing is built into our yearly renewal, together with your registered agent, US address and state fees, so nothing is forgotten.
We confirm a US LLC fits your business and choose the right state for your plans and budget.
Just a passport copy and proof of address for each owner, plus your company name ideas. No US visit needed.
We file your LLC with the state, prepare your operating agreement and apply for your EIN with the IRS.
We prepare and submit your Mercury application and handle follow-ups. If Mercury declines, we try Wise at no extra fee.
Many of our clients use both: a Dubai free zone company for their residency, banking and 0% personal income tax, and a US LLC for American customers, platforms and payment tools. We set up and coordinate both, with one point of contact.

Deciding where to live, not just where to register? Chris compares both countries:
Yes. You don’t need to be a US citizen or resident, and you don’t need to visit the US. We handle the full setup remotely with your passport and proof of address.
LLC formation in Wyoming or New Mexico including the state filing fee, your EIN, an operating agreement, a registered agent and US business address for the first year, US bank application support, deadline reminders and WhatsApp support.
Renewal starts from $699 a year for a New Mexico LLC and covers your registered agent, US address, any state fees and the yearly Form 5472 filing. Wyoming, Florida and Delaware cost more to renew because of their state fees — we confirm your exact renewal price before you start.
For most non-residents, Wyoming or New Mexico — they are low-cost to form and to keep. Delaware makes sense mainly if you plan to raise money from US investors. Other states only make sense if you physically operate there.
No provider can guarantee it — the bank decides. We prepare and submit your Mercury application and handle follow-ups. If Mercury declines, we try Wise at no extra professional fee (Wise charges a $31 deposit). Some banks don’t accept residents of certain countries, so we check this on your first call.
The LLC is usually formed within days once your documents are complete. For owners without a US Social Security Number, the EIN usually follows within a few weeks, and the bank application comes after that.
It depends on your business and where you live. A single-member LLC owned by a non-US person often owes no US federal income tax if it has no US trade or business, but it still must file Form 5472 every year. Your home country may tax the profits. This is general information, not tax advice — we recommend confirming your position with a tax advisor.
It’s a yearly IRS information return that every foreign-owned single-member LLC must file, even with zero income. Missing it can lead to a $25,000 penalty, which is why we include it in your renewal.
Yes. We offer monthly US bookkeeping, so your records are always up to date and your yearly Form 5472 filing is quick and accurate. Ask us for the package that fits your transaction volume.

Yes, and many clients do: a Dubai company for residency, banking and 0% personal income tax, and a US LLC for US customers and payment platforms. We set up and coordinate both.
Yes. With your LLC, EIN and a US bank account you can apply for Stripe, Amazon Seller Central US, Shopify Payments and similar platforms. Each platform runs its own verification, and we help you prepare the details they ask for.
