USA Company Formation Facts
Figures on this page are indicative and change often. Government fees, taxes and timelines are confirmed in your written quote after a free consultation. Company formation does not by itself grant residence or citizenship; where a residence route exists we say so and explain its conditions.

- Sell to US customers with a US company, bank account and payment platforms
- LLCs are simple to run and are taxed as pass-through entities by default

Who It Suits
E-commerce and software founders selling to US customers, agencies and consultants with US clients, and startups planning to raise US investment.
Moving to the USA With Your Company
Residence route: visa neededA US company does not by itself give you the right to live or work in the US. The main routes are the E-2 treaty investor visa (only for citizens of treaty countries; Nigeria is not one), the L-1 visa for managers of an established foreign business, and the EB-5 investor green card.
| Route | Who it suits | Family can join |
|---|---|---|
| E-2 treaty investor visa | Citizens of treaty countries who invest substantially in a US business they run | Yes |
| L-1 intracompany transfer | Managers and key staff of a business that has operated abroad for at least a year | Yes |
| EB-5 investor green card | Investors making a large qualifying investment that creates US jobs | Yes |
Visa rules change often. We check your eligibility before you pay any government fee, and quote visa work separately from company formation.

USA Company Formation Questions
Can a non-resident form a US LLC?
Yes. You can form and own a US LLC or corporation without a US visa, address or Social Security number. You need a registered agent in the state, which we provide.
Which state should I choose?
Wyoming suits most small online businesses thanks to low fees and simple rules. Delaware is the standard for companies that plan to raise investment. If you will have staff or an office in another state, that state usually matters more.
How is a foreign-owned LLC taxed?
A single-member LLC is treated as a disregarded entity by default, and US tax depends on whether the income is connected with a US trade or business. Foreign-owned single-member LLCs must file an information return (Form 5472) every year. We connect you with a US accountant.
Do I need to file a beneficial ownership (BOI) report?
Since March 2025, companies formed in the US are exempt from the federal beneficial ownership report. It now applies mainly to foreign companies registered to do business in a US state.
