The structure for 100% online businesses.

The US LLC has become the standard for international entrepreneurs: simple to form, cheap to maintain, and accepted by Stripe, PayPal and American online banks.

Freelancers and consultants

Invoice your international clients from a credible structure and get paid in USD without the administrative burden.

E-commerce

Amazon FBA, Shopify, dropshipping: the LLC unlocks access to payment processors and American suppliers.

SaaS and digital products

A simple LLC is often enough: no need for a C-Corp and its maintenance cost as long as you are not raising funds.

Expats and nomads

Combined with the right tax residence (Mauritius, Dubai, Paraguay), the LLC becomes a highly effective structuring tool.

Taxation

Pass-through in the US, taxed where you live.

The LLC is a pass-through entity: it pays no tax of its own, its profits flow up to its owner. Everything therefore depends on your tax residence.

US federal tax

If the LLC has no effective activity in the United States (non-ETBUS): no US employees and no US place of business.

State income tax

Delaware does not tax the profits of an LLC with no local activity; the only charge is a flat $300 annual tax, included in our maintenance.

Annual IRS filing

Forms 1120 + 5472 (or 1065) are mandatory even at 0% tax; a $25,000 penalty applies if you miss them.

100%

Where you live

Profits are taxed in your country of tax residence. That is what makes all the difference.

Your tax residence is the real lever. An LLC owned from the Netherlands, France or Germany stays taxable there. Owned from Mauritius, Dubai or Paraguay, the picture changes completely: that is where our residence packages come in.

General information, not tax advice. How your LLC is treated depends on your country of residence and your situation: we check it case by case with our partners before forming anything.

Frequently asked questions

Can I form an LLC without being a US resident?

Yes. No particular nationality, no visa and no physical presence in the United States are required to own an LLC. All you need is a registered agent in the state of formation (included in the package for the first year, then €150/year excl. VAT) and compliance with the annual filing obligations.

Where does my LLC's mail go?

To your registered agent's address, and it is automatically forwarded to your personal address, wherever you live, at no extra cost. Your bank cards are shipped directly by the bank to the address of your choice.

Why Delaware?

It is the benchmark state for US corporate law: the one banks, payment processors and investors know best, with standardised documents and settled case law (Court of Chancery). For an LLC with no local activity: no state income tax, members kept off the public register and a single state-specific obligation, the flat $300 annual tax due by 1 June, with no annual report to file; it is part of our maintenance (tax included). Wyoming and New Mexico are cheaper year on year, but less familiar to banks and payment platforms.

Will I really pay 0% tax?

In the United States, yes, in the standard case: an LLC with no effective activity on American soil (no employee, no office, no dependent agent) is not taxed there. But the profits remain taxable in your country of tax residence: a French resident declares them in France. A true 0% overall only happens when you combine the LLC with a tax residence that is territorial or zero-tax; that is exactly what we look at together on the discovery call.

What are the annual obligations for my LLC?

Three things: keep a registered agent, file the IRS forms every year (1120 + 5472 for a single-member LLC owned by a non-resident, 1065 for a multi-member LLC), and pay the flat Delaware annual tax ($300) by 1 June. Missing the 5472 costs a $25,000 penalty: that is exactly what our annual maintenance covers, IRS filings included.

Can I open a bank account without travelling to the United States?

Yes. American online banks built for international founders (Mercury, Relay and equivalents) open accounts remotely, subject to approval: a formed LLC, an EIN and identity documents. We point you to the right one for your sector (some sectors, such as trading or crypto, call for a more careful choice of institution), and your bank cards are shipped to the address of your choice.

How long before I am up and running?

The LLC itself is formed in one to two weeks. The EIN then takes from a few days to a few weeks depending on the IRS workload (owners without a US Social Security Number go through a slower route). Allow 3 to 6 weeks in total, end to end: LLC, EIN and an active bank account.
