Question 1

Do I need to live in the US or hold a visa?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no nationality, residency or visa requirement to own a US LLC. Everything is handled remotely and you never need to travel.

Question 2

How long does it really take?

Accepted Answer

The company itself is filed within 48 to 72 hours and you receive your official documents in that window. The EIN from the IRS and the bank account come afterwards and depend on administrations nobody controls. We give you a realistic timeline up front.

Question 3

Can I open a bank account without a US social security number?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The online banks used by international founders accept a passport, your company documents and your EIN. We guide you through it, it is part of the service.

Question 4

What exactly does the €490 cover?

Accepted Answer

The official filing, the Operating Agreement, the registered agent for the first year, the EIN request, the business address and banking support. State fees are charged on top and confirmed to you before you commit.

Question 5

Which state should I choose?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your activity, your volumes and your partners. We steer you to the right state during the WhatsApp conversation, because that call deserves a real discussion rather than a checkbox.

Question 6

Do I have to declare this company at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you are a tax resident somewhere. An LLC does not remove any reporting obligation in your country of residence, and holding a company abroad generally has to be declared. We build lawful structures, we do not sell opacity. For your personal situation, speak to a tax adviser.

Question 7

Can I be the only member?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is the most common case. An LLC can have a single member. You can add others later.

Question 8

What happens after formation?

Accepted Answer

Your company has annual renewal obligations depending on the state, plus reporting duties with the IRS. We flag the deadlines so the structure stays compliant.

Question 9

What about a Ltd or a Hong Kong company?

Accepted Answer

We form those too. The constraints differ, particularly the mandatory company secretary in Hong Kong and the banking requirements. We quote after a conversation, because no flat rate holds up honestly on those jurisdictions.

Question 10

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

We agree the exact amount and the payment method during the WhatsApp conversation, once your file is scoped. Nothing is charged from this website.
