What's included

A formation done right the first time.

Non-resident filings fail for small reasons — a missing designator, the wrong management structure, an address that doesn't meet state rules. We prepare yours to pass review the first time.

Name availability check — we verify your top three choices against state records before anything is filed.
Articles of Organization — prepared for non-resident ownership and filed directly with the state.
Registered agent coordination — arranged in your formation state (first year included on Plus and Complete).
Operating agreement — member-managed template, single or multi-member (Plus and Complete).
Banking resolution — the authorization document U.S. banks and fintechs commonly request (Plus and Complete).
Digital document delivery — everything organized in one deck, ready to download and share for verification.

What you'll need

A passport or government ID for each owner
Three LLC name choices, in order of preference
A short description of your business activity
Owner names, ownership split, and contact details
Your home-country address (kept private where the state allows)

No SSN, U.S. address, or U.S. phone number is required to form the LLC itself.

Set expectations

Formation creates the company. Opening bank or payment accounts is a separate step with its own requirements — we prepare the documents those providers typically ask for, but each institution makes its own decision.

Operating agreement

The document everyone asks for after formation.

Most states don't legally require an operating agreement — but banks, payment platforms, and partners almost always ask for one. It defines who owns what and who can act for the company.

Single-member version

Confirms you as the sole owner and manager — the fastest way to answer a bank's “who controls this company?” question.

Multi-member version

Sets ownership percentages, capital contributions, voting, and what happens if a member leaves — agreed in writing before it matters.

Bank-ready format

Structured the way U.S. institutions expect: members, management authority, and signing power stated plainly on the first pages.

Timeline

What happens after you submit.

Exact timing depends on your state — here's the typical path for a Wyoming formation on the Founder Complete package.

Stage	Typical time	What happens
Order review & name check	Within 1 business day	We verify your details and confirm name availability in your state.
Filing prepared & submitted	1-2 business days	Articles of Organization prepared for non-resident ownership and filed with the state.
State approval	1-15 business days	Varies by state — Wyoming and New Mexico are fastest; expedite options exist in several states.
Documents delivered	Same day as approval	Stamped articles, operating agreement, and banking resolution arrive in your deck.
EIN application (Complete)	+2-8 weeks	SS-4 submitted to the IRS by fax; issuance timing is set by the IRS, not by us.

Timelines are estimates based on typical state and IRS processing and are not guaranteed.

Formation FAQ

Formation questions, answered plainly.

Do I need to visit the U.S. to form an LLC?

No. The entire process — name check, filing, registered agent, documents, and EIN application — is handled remotely. You never need to travel to the U.S. to form or own the LLC.

Can my LLC name be anything I want?

It must be unique in your formation state and include a designator such as "LLC" or "L.L.C.". Some words (bank, insurance, university) are restricted. We check availability for your top three name choices before filing.

Single-member or multi-member — does it matter?

Both are fine for non-residents. A single-member LLC is simpler; multi-member LLCs need a clear operating agreement covering ownership percentages. We prepare templates for both.

What exactly do I receive after formation?

Your stamped Articles of Organization from the state, your operating agreement (Plus and Complete), a banking resolution (Plus and Complete), and — on Complete — your EIN confirmation once the IRS issues it. Everything is delivered digitally to your deck.
