Wyoming vs Delaware

Stop blindly incorporating in Delaware. Know what's best for your non-US business model.

Wyoming (Recommended)

The absolute best state for 90% of solo international founders, e-commerce sellers, and bootstrapped SaaS startups.

  • $0 State Corporate Income Tax
  • Incredible Privacy: Owner names are NOT listed on the public registry.
  • Low File Fees: The annual report/franchise tax is only about $62/year.
  • Superior charging order protection limits personal liability.

Delaware

Only strictly necessary if you intend to raise millions from Tier-1 Silicon Valley Venture Capital firms.

  • VC Standard: Investors prefer Delaware's established Court of Chancery.
  • Expensive: Minimum $300 annual franchise tax just to exist.
  • More complex annual reporting requirements.
  • Generally overkill if you are the sole owner of the business.

Formation FAQ

Do I need a US Visa, SSN, or ITIN to form a US LLC?

+

No. You do not need a US Visa, SSN, or to ever step foot in the United States to own a US LLC. Any non-US resident can legitimately own 100% of a US company. We secure an EIN (Employer Identification Number) for your LLC directly from the IRS so you can operate.

What exactly does the $399 cover?

+

Our flat fee covers the State filing fees (Wyoming), registered agent fees for the first year, operating agreement drafting, banking resolution documentation, and processing your EIN with the IRS. Delaware filings require a custom quote depending on expedited state fee urgency.

Do I have to pay US Taxes?

+

As a non-US resident running a single-member LLC, you are subject to US tax laws, but if you have no "US Effectively Connected Income" (ETI) - meaning no physical offices or employees in the US - you typically only have to file informational returns (like IRS Form 5472 and 1120 pro-forma), paying 0% in actual US corporate income tax. We recommend speaking to a CPA for exact rulings related to your country of residence.
