US business entity setup should be easy and painless
Starting a business in the US could be your smartest move yet. Whether you need flexibility, want to attract investors, or are looking for tax advantages, there’s an entity type that fits your needs — LLC, C Corp, or S Corp. You’ll gain credibility, access to funding, and benefit from a strong legal system.
On the other hand, there’s a lot of paperwork — incorporation documents, taxes, and more as your business grows. If things aren’t done right, even a tiny wrong move can cost you. Misfiled forms or missed deadlines can lead to fines and legal issues. You might be doing it only once and you want to do it right the first time.

Common questions about US company formation
An LLC (Limited Liability Company) is a business structure that offers liability protection, meaning your personal assets are protected from business debts or legal claims. It’s a flexible and simple option for business owners.
There are two main tax classifications for LLCs:
1. Single-Member LLC (SM LLC): Owned by one person or entity. It’s easy to manage and provides the same liability protection.
2. Multi-Member LLC (MM LLC): Owned by two or more members. It offers shared responsibility and flexibility in management.
The great news is, even if you’re not a US resident, you can still open an LLC in the US. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of doing business in the US, like setting up a bank account, taking payments, and protecting your personal assets.
The process is straightforward, and with the right guidance, you can get your US LLC up and running quickly.
What type of LLCs exist?
There are a couple of different types of LLCs, like the Close LLCs, Series LLCs and even DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) LLCs. Different types of LLCs have different purposes and benefits for different situations. We will help you determine what LLC type is the best for you.
Forming a US company with Entity Inc. typically takes less than a week, depending on the state you choose and how quickly we can gather all the necessary information. Once the company is formed, we’ll also help you obtain your Employer Identification Number (EIN), which can take a few days if you have a US Social Security Number, or 2-6 weeks if you don’t.
What documents are required to form a US company?
In order to form a US company, we would only need the basic information of the business itself. Like the name of the company, the services/products offered and the owner’s personal information. In case you want us to assist you in applying for the business bank account, we will need the scan of the owner’s passport as well.
Should I get an EIN before I form an LLC (or after)?
In order to apply for an EIN without an SSN, you need to have the company formed first.
This depends on multiple factors, such as the service/products you are offering, if you have US clients, if you are living in a country that has a tax treaty with the US, and other things. During our consultation we will go over all the details with you and determine what is the best entity type for your specific needs.
Yes, as a non-US resident, you can be the sole owner of a US LLC or C Corp without any issues. However, S Corps are different — only US citizens or residents can own them. So, while you have full ownership options with an LLC or C Corp, S Corps are off-limits unless you’re a US resident or citizen.
To avoid common pitfalls when forming a US business entity, keep these tips in mind:
- Choose the right structure: Understand the differences between an LLC, C Corp, and S Corp to select the best fit for your business needs, especially regarding taxes and ownership.
- Register in the right state: Some states offer better benefits for certain types of businesses. For instance, Delaware and Wyoming are popular for their business-friendly laws and lower fees.
- Keep personal and business finances separate: This helps maintain liability protection and simplifies accounting.
- Understand compliance requirements: Stay on top of annual reports, tax filings, and other legal obligations to avoid penalties.
By taking these steps, you can avoid many of the common challenges and ensure your US business entity is formed correctly and efficiently. If you want expert guidance to make sure everything is done right, feel free to schedule a consultation with us.
