This page details everything you need to know about forming a company in the USA as a foreigner, non-citizen or US citizen that lives outside the country. Incorporating in the United States can increase your company's credibility, gain access to the US market and investors (the world's largest source of each).
If you are located outside the United States and wish to form a company in the US (either to open a US bank account and/or merchant account, open a physical US branch or any other reason), then we've created this step-by-step resource to explain the process, show you exactly what you need and how we can help you. Note that "Incorporate" means to form a "Corporation" and "Form an LLC" means to form a "Limited Liability Company" (LLC) which is further explained below.
To create a Corporation in the United States, we will file documents called "Articles of Incorporation" or "Certificate of Incorporation. The LLC version of these documents are called "Articles of Organization" or "Certificate of Organization" (these documents may have different names depending on which state you choose). Also, the word "entity" is used to describe a business that is not an individual and can apply either to a Corporation or an LLC.
While a non-resident will have to go through all the same steps as a resident, there are additional complications. For most non-residents, international tax law, getting visas and opening a bank account present the most problems. Each of these topics is very complicated.
