For those wishing to set up a company in America, World Company Setup Support provides step-by-step guidance through the incorporation process. Our professional advisors can help you identify the most suitable setup options and take the necessary steps to suit the requirements of your business.

With a population of more than 330 million, the world's largest e-commerce market and direct access to global payment infrastructure such as Stripe and PayPal, the United States is one of the most attractive destinations for international entrepreneurs. Best of all, forming an LLC in the US requires neither millions in capital nor a trip to America. At World Company Setup we register your US company for you — from Turkey or anywhere else — with costs starting from $500, helping you choose the right state and the right structure together.
The biggest misconception among founders considering a US company is that the process is extremely complex and expensive. In reality, with the right state and the right structure you can register a US LLC entirely online for a few hundred dollars. The genuinely hard part is managing it correctly: which state to choose, your tax obligations, opening a bank account and integrating Stripe and PayPal.
The United States offers advantages that few other jurisdictions can match. A US company signals credibility to global customers and suppliers, unlocks access to the largest consumer base on the planet, and lets you invoice in US dollars through world-class payment processors. For software companies, e-commerce sellers, freelancers and agencies serving international clients, a US entity is often the single most effective way to scale.
Costs vary primarily by the state you choose. The table below summarises the typical filing fee, recurring annual fee and standout feature of the most popular states, based on figures current as of July 2026.
| State | Filing Fee | Annual Fee | Standout Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delaware | ~$90 | $300 (franchise tax) | Most popular; flexible law, investor-friendly |
| Wyoming | ~$100 | ~$60 | Lowest cost, strong privacy, no state income tax |
| Florida | ~$125 | ~$138 | No personal income tax; warm climate & large communities |
| Texas | ~$300 | Variable | No state income tax; fast-growing tech ecosystem |
| New Mexico | ~$50 | No annual report | Lowest start-up cost; privacy advantages |
Important note: The tables, rates and costs (amounts) on this page were compiled as of July 2026 and may change over time. State filing fees, franchise taxes and federal regulations can be updated by the relevant authorities. We recommend verifying the most current amounts and rates on the official websites of the relevant State Secretary of State offices and the IRS (irs.gov).
Beyond state fees, budget for a registered agent (typically $50–150 per year) and, if you use a professional service, a formation service fee. The EIN itself is free when obtained directly from the IRS.
An LLC combines limited liability protection with pass-through taxation and minimal paperwork. It is the default choice for freelancers, e-commerce sellers, agencies and most small-to-medium businesses. A single-member LLC owned by a non-US person with no US-source income and no US presence often has straightforward federal obligations, though an informational filing may still be required.
A C-Corp is the preferred structure for startups planning to raise venture capital or issue stock options. It offers a familiar framework for investors but is subject to corporate income tax at the federal level, with potential double taxation on distributed profits.
An S-Corp offers pass-through taxation but is restricted to US citizens and residents. Foreign founders are therefore not eligible to elect S-Corp status.
A sole proprietorship offers no liability protection and is generally unsuitable for foreign founders operating internationally, so an LLC is almost always the better route.
Delaware is home to a highly developed body of corporate law and a specialised Court of Chancery. It is the jurisdiction most familiar to investors and is the default choice for venture-backed startups. A flat $300 annual franchise tax applies to LLCs, with no annual report required.
Wyoming offers among the lowest ongoing costs, no state income tax and strong privacy — the names of LLC members do not appear in public records. For remote digital entrepreneurs with no physical US presence, Wyoming is frequently the most cost-effective choice.
If you plan to relocate to the US or travel there often, Florida or Texas are worth considering. Neither levies a personal income tax, and Florida in particular is close to major international hubs such as Miami and Doral.
The documents required to form a US LLC or C-Corp are surprisingly few:

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is your company's federal tax ID, comparable to a tax number for the business. It is required to open a bank account, integrate payment processors and file taxes. The EIN is issued free of charge directly by the IRS. For foreign founders without a US Social Security Number, the application is submitted via Form SS-4 and can take roughly 4–8 weeks; we manage the filing and IRS communication on your behalf.
We begin by matching your business model to the optimal state and structure — for most clients this means an LLC in Wyoming or Delaware.
We confirm your chosen name is available in the state registry and reserve it where appropriate.
Every US LLC and C-Corp must have a registered agent with a physical address in the state of formation. If you do not live in the US, this service must be obtained from a professional provider, typically for $50–150 per year.
The Articles of Organization or Certificate of Incorporation, together with the Operating Agreement or Bylaws, are prepared and submitted to the state. Approval takes anywhere from 1–5 business days to 2–3 weeks; Delaware and Wyoming usually complete within 1–2 weeks.
After approval, we file Form SS-4 with the IRS. For foreign founders this can take 4–8 weeks, and we handle the correspondence to keep it moving.
Once the EIN is issued, we begin the corporate bank account process. Traditional US banks may require a physical presence, while digital banking platforms offer a fully online experience.
With your US company and bank account in place, we activate Stripe Business, PayPal Business and Wise Business accounts so you can collect USD and transfer funds more easily and at lower cost.
⏱ Total timeline: state registration 1–3 weeks, EIN 4–8 weeks, bank account 1–2 weeks. The entire process can be completed in 6 to 12 weeks.
A US bank account is critical to making your company operational. Traditional banks and digital banking platforms each offer different advantages, and the right combination depends on your business model, transaction volume and payment needs. We help you select and open the accounts that fit your operations best.
For many international entrepreneurs this is the real reason to form a US company — full access to global payment platforms. Several Stripe features are restricted or unavailable for companies based outside major markets, and a US LLC removes most of those barriers.
US taxation operates at the federal, state and sometimes local level. A single-member LLC owned by a non-US person with no US-source income and no US presence often has limited federal tax exposure, but may still need to file informational returns such as Form 5472. C-Corporations are subject to federal corporate income tax. State income tax varies widely — states such as Wyoming, Florida, Texas and Nevada levy no personal income tax. The figures here are general and current as of July 2026; federal and state tax rules can change over time, so we recommend checking official sources such as the IRS (irs.gov) and the relevant state tax authority for current rates.
Forming a company does not by itself grant a visa; however, owning an active, registered US company supports several visa pathways, including investor and business categories. The right approach depends on your nationality, investment level and long-term plans, and should be assessed case by case.
Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting, introduced in 2024, requires certain companies to report their real owners to FinCEN (the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). The rule was created to combat money laundering and tax evasion.
BOI reporting changed significantly during 2025–2026 through court decisions and regulatory updates. Under the rule FinCEN put into effect in March 2025, companies created in the United States (domestic companies) and their beneficial owners are exempt from BOI reporting; the obligation now applies chiefly to foreign reporting companies registered to do business in the US. Because the rules may change again, it is important to monitor current FinCEN guidance after forming your company — a process we track on your behalf.
