Step by Step Guide: How to Set Up a US Subsidiary?

1. Strategic Consultation

We help you decide between a C-Corporation (best for raising capital) or an LLC (best for operational flexibility), ensuring the choice aligns with your parent company’s tax strategy.

2. Select the Right State

You don't have to incorporate where you operate. We guide you in choosing the best jurisdiction, whether it is Delaware for its corporate laws, Wyoming for privacy, or the state where your physical office will be located.

3. Name & Address Verification

We conduct a thorough search to secure your desired company name and provide a virtual business address if you don't yet have a physical office, ensuring you meet the requirement for a local registered agent.

4. File Formation Documents

Our team handles the heavy lifting by preparing and filing your Articles of Incorporation (for Corps) or Articles of Organization (for LLCs) directly with the Secretary of State.

5. Obtain Your Federal Tax ID (EIN)

Once your entity is registered, we communicate with the IRS to secure your Employer Identification Number (EIN). This is the critical number you need to hire employees and pay taxes.

6. Open Your US Bank Account

With your filed documents and EIN in hand, we connect you with our banking partners to help you open a business bank account remotely, without needing to fly to the US.

7. Operational Launch

You are now ready to do business. We hand over your "Corporate Kit"—including your filed articles, bylaws/operating agreement, and EIN letter—so you can start signing contracts and hiring immediately.

How Long Does Entity Setup Take? 

Typical timeline for US entity setup ranges from 5-15 business days, depending on the state and entity type. Delaware and Nevada offer expedited options (1-2 days). Our team manages all submissions and follows up to ensure timely processing. You'll receive a complete package with all formation documents, EIN confirmation, and compliance checklists upon completion. 

Common Entity Setup Mistakes to Avoid

  • Choosing wrong entity type for your tax situation
  • Failing to maintain proper business/personal separation
  • Missing critical state compliance deadlines
  • Neglecting federal tax ID acquisition
  • Not maintaining adequate business records
  • Forming in the wrong state for your operations

Ongoing Compliance & Tax Considerations

Annual State Filings

Most states require an Annual Report and Franchise Tax payment. We track and file these to prevent your company from being administratively dissolved.

Federal Tax Returns

Whether you have profit or not, you must file federal returns. We specialize in the specific disclosures required for foreign-owned US entities.

BOI Reporting

A new mandatory requirement. We handle your "Beneficial Ownership Information" report to FinCEN to avoid severe daily fines for non-compliance.

Sales Tax Nexus

As you grow, you may owe tax in states where you sell. We monitor your economic activity to ensure you register and remit sales taxes correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1Can I register for a US company if I am not a US resident?
Yes, absolutely. You do not need to be a US citizen, resident, or have a visa to own or direct a US corporation or LLC. We handle the entire incorporation process remotely for you.
2How long does the entire setup process take?
State formation typically takes 3–10 business days, depending on the state’s processing speed. Obtaining an EIN for non-US residents can take an additional 10–20 days due to IRS processing times.
3Should I choose an LLC or a C-Corporation?
It depends on your goals. C-Corps are the standard if you plan to raise venture capital or go public, while LLCs are often better for operational flexibility and avoiding double taxation on profits.
4Do I need a physical office address in the US?
You are required to have a Registered Agent address for legal mail, which we provide. However, for opening bank accounts, you may eventually need a physical mailing address, which we can help you navigate.
5Can you help me open a US business bank account?
Yes. While we cannot sign the account for you, we provide the complete "Corporate Kit" (EIN, Articles, and Bylaws) and can introduce you to banking partners that accept international founders.
6What is a Registered Agent and why do I need one?
A Registered Agent is a mandatory compliance requirement in every state to receive service of process and official government notices. We fulfill this role to ensure you never miss a critical legal deadline.
7Is the EIN really necessary?
Yes. The Employer Identification Number (EIN) is essentially the "Social Security Number" for your business. You cannot hire employees, file taxes, or open a business bank account without one.
8What are my ongoing maintenance requirements?
Most states require an Annual Report filing and a franchise tax payment to keep your company in "Good Standing." We offer ongoing compliance packages to handle these recurring deadlines for you.
