U.S. LLC Formation
We form U.S. LLCs for ecommerce, online services and U.S. contracting: first choosing Wyoming or Delaware by business and upkeep budget, then filing with the state, preparing the operating agreement and applying for the EIN, with federal filings such as Form 5472 explained up front. Banks and payment platforms decide independently; we help prepare documents but cannot guarantee approval.
State, formation, EIN and first-year filings, planned in one go.
- Timeline
- A qualifying Wyoming online filing takes effect on submission, mailed standard filings take up to 15 business days; Delaware standard filings follow the state queue, with paid expedited options. EIN by fax takes about four business days and by mail about four weeks (IRS indications, not guarantees).
- Key deliverables
- State-stamped formation documents, LLC operating agreement, among other documents

Questions about U.S. LLC Formation
For ecommerce and online services where upkeep matters, a Wyoming LLC is common: a USD 100 filing fee and a license tax from USD 60. For venture capital or a future listing, Delaware is the usual choice, typically as a C corporation rather than an LLC. A Delaware LLC costs USD 110 to file and pays a USD 400 annual tax (from the 2026 tax year).
Generally not. We can file the formation documents as an authorised service provider, and the EIN can be obtained without an SSN or ITIN. Banks and payment platforms decide independently and may ask for a video or in-person meeting.
A single-member LLC wholly owned by a foreign person must file Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 if it has reportable transactions, such as owner contributions or distributions, even with no business income; for a calendar year it is usually due 15 April, and the initial penalty for failing to file is generally USD 25,000 per related party per tax year.
Companies formed in the United States are currently exempt from FinCEN BOI reporting under the final rule effective 14 August 2026. Banks and registered agents still collect beneficial-owner information under their own requirements.
