Operational
There are several required tasks a few steps that must be made that our team will help you along the way to get you to an established Corporation inside the United States
1. Choose Which Type of Business Entity to Form: Corporation or LLC
If any of the owners of the company (called “Shareholders” for Corporations and “Members” for LLC’s) are not US Citizens, then you have the option of either forming a Corporation (also called a “C-Corporation” or “Regular Corporation”) or an LLC. There’s another entity type called an “S-Corporation” but that entity requires all shareholders to be US Citizens.
There is no restriction on the number of owners for a US Corporation or LLC, which country the owners are from or whether they are individuals or other companies (foreign or domestic corporations, LLC’s, etc.). However, your home country may have restrictions on which type of US company may operate in that country so it’s important you consult your local laws and if necessary, contact an attorney familiar with your situation and US law if you are unsure of local requirements.
2. Choose Which State to Form Your Corporation or LLC
In the United States, you can form a Corporation or LLC in any of the 50 States or Washington DC. Which state you choose will depend on why you are forming the company. Some US states are more “business-friendly” or “international-friendly” than others, especially Delaware, Nevada and Wyoming. For detailed information on these states and picking a state, please visit “Which State to Incorporate or Form an LLC“. We form Corporations and LLC’s in all 50 States and DC.
