A US company, formed right — by a desk that's actually in the US.
Filing the articles is the easy 10%. The registered agent, the US address, the EIN without an SSN, the bank account, and the compliance calendar are the 90% where founders get stuck — and where being on this side of the Pacific makes the difference.
Where most clients form — and why
Wyoming
The default for non-resident sellers on Amazon, eBay, and TikTok Shop: the lowest ongoing costs of any major formation state, no state income tax, strong privacy and LLC asset-protection statutes, and a simple annual report. If your operations are elsewhere and the LLC is your US interface, Wyoming is usually the answer.

The corporate capital of America — home to most Fortune 500 companies and nearly every venture-backed startup. Chosen for its dedicated business court, the most developed corporate law in the country, and maximum recognition with banks, partners, and investors. The pick when you're building something to raise money or sell.
Ask about Delaware →Your home state
The rule most online guides skip: if your business physically operates in a state — an office, a warehouse you run, employees — that state will tax and regulate you regardless of where you filed. Real operations in California mean forming or registering in California. We'll tell you honestly when the "clever" state isn't clever.
Ask which state fits →All 50 states. Wyoming and Delaware cover most cases, but we file in every US state — Texas, Florida, New York, wherever your situation actually points. The state is a decision, not a default; making it well is part of the service.
Formation is a chain, not a filing
Name check, articles filed, and the legally required registered agent arranged in your formation state — the pieces every provider does.
A proper US business address established before filing, so one consistent address flows through the articles, the EIN letter, and the bank application — the ordering detail that prevents the most common banking rejection.
The federal tax ID via the non-resident path — the step that stalls DIY founders for weeks. Plus the operating agreement banks and platforms will ask to see.
Current, realistic guidance on which banking doors are open to non-resident owners, plus your annual compliance calendar — state renewals, federal reporting obligations, and the deadlines that carry real penalties.
