Overview
What is USA Company Registration?
Registering a US company means two key choices: the entity type and the state. The entity is usually an LLC (flexible, pass-through taxation, great for agencies, freelancers and SMBs) or a C-Corporation (the standard for startups raising venture capital, and what accelerators and US investors expect). The state is commonly Delaware (the default for C-Corps and fundraising), Wyoming (popular for LLCs — low cost, privacy, no state income tax), or the state where you actually operate.
You don't need to be a US resident or citizen to form a company. You'll need a registered agent in the state, an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS, and — for a foreign-owned US entity — specific federal filings (for example, a single-member foreign-owned LLC has Form 5472/1120 obligations). Banking for non-residents is possible but involves the bank's KYC and is never guaranteed.
We handle the formation, registered agent and EIN, set up your founding documents, and support bank-account setup — and we flag the US tax-filing obligations and FEMA/ODI considerations for your investment from India, coordinating specialists.

Process
A clear path from start to filed
Official filing
How the State Secretary of State + IRS (via registered agent) flow works
A US company is formed by filing with the state's Secretary of State through a registered agent, after which an EIN is obtained from the IRS; foreign-owned entities then have federal and state tax-filing obligations (e.g. Form 5472/1120 for certain foreign-owned LLCs, plus state annual reports/franchise tax).
We prepare and coordinate these through the registered agent and the relevant authorities; we don't operate a government portal or API. Bank-account opening rests with the bank's KYC and is never guaranteed.

FAQs
USA Company Registration — frequently asked questions
Should I form an LLC or a C-Corporation?
An LLC is flexible with pass-through taxation — good for agencies, freelancers and SMBs. A C-Corporation (usually Delaware) is the standard for startups raising venture capital. We advise based on your plans.
Which US state should I incorporate in?
Delaware is the default for C-Corps and fundraising; Wyoming is popular for LLCs (low cost, privacy, no state income tax); or your state of operation. We match it to your case.
Do I need to be a US resident or citizen?
No — non-residents can form US companies. You'll need a registered agent and an EIN, and you'll have US tax-filing obligations.
What is an EIN and do I need one?
An Employer Identification Number from the IRS — needed for banking, taxes and hiring. We apply for it as part of setup.
What is a registered agent?
A required in-state agent to receive legal and state documents on the company's behalf. We provide/arrange one.
What is Form 5472/1120?
Federal filings that certain foreign-owned US entities (like a single-member foreign-owned LLC) must make. Missing them carries heavy penalties, so we flag and coordinate them.
Can you guarantee a US bank account?
No. Banking involves the bank's own KYC and is never guaranteed for non-residents. We prepare you and support the process, but the decision is the bank's.
Does a US company mean I pay US tax?
It depends on the entity, where income is earned and your own residency. US entities have filing obligations regardless. We flag this and coordinate cross-border specialists — we don't give standalone US tax opinions.
What about FEMA/ODI for investing from India?
An Indian resident investing in a US company must comply with FEMA's ODI/LRS rules. We flag these and coordinate specialists rather than advise on them standalone.
How long does US formation take?
Formation is often a few days; the EIN and banking take longer (and vary for non-residents). We give a realistic estimate and never promise a fixed timeline.
What do I receive?
An entity/state recommendation, the formed company with state documents, registered agent and EIN, founding documents, and bank-setup support.
