Starting a U.S. LLC from abroad has unique considerations. Here’s what to keep in mind:
1. No Citizenship Required
- Any individual or entity can form an LLC, regardless of nationality.
2. Registered Agent Requirement
- Must maintain a physical address in your LLC’s formation state.
3. EIN & ITIN
- EIN is needed for taxes and banking.
- Non-residents without SSNs may need an ITIN for certain filings.
4. Bank Account Opening
- Some banks allow remote account setups; others require in-person visits.
5. Tax Obligations
- Federal tax on U.S.-source income.
- State tax may apply where you operate.
6. Ongoing Compliance
- Annual report filings, franchise tax payments, and registered agent renewals.
