Founder-led and independent
Every fee shown before you pay
Plain-English guidance
Not a law firm — honest guidance, no legal advice
What a U.S. company makes possible
Three founders, three starting points, one first step.
Starting from the kitchen table
Step one is forming the business
Before the website, the logo, or the first customer, the business has to legally exist. We make that first step a guided 10-minute form.
Building for the family
Business credit lets you scale
Once your company has its own EIN and standing, you can apply for business credit in the company's name — buy equipment, produce more, and grow without risking the household.
Which state should you form in?
We file in the five most business-friendly formation states — plus your own home state when that's the smarter, cheaper choice. Here's the honest comparison, no sales spin.
Delaware
Investor standardThe Court of Chancery, 200+ years of corporate case law, and the entity type nearly every U.S. venture investor expects. Best for C-Corps that plan to raise money or issue stock options.
- Franchise tax + annual report
- Registered agent required
- C-Corp or LLC
Wyoming
Lowest costLow annual fees, no state income tax, and strong owner-privacy rules. A favorite for single-owner LLCs, e-commerce, consulting, and freelancers who want simple upkeep.
- No state income tax
- Low annual report fee
- Privacy-friendly LLC
Nevada
Strong protectionsNo state income tax and well-known charging-order protection for LLC members. Higher annual costs than Wyoming because of the state business license requirement.
- No state income tax
- State business license
- LLC or Corporation
South Dakota
Simple upkeepNo corporate income tax, modest filing fees, and light annual paperwork. A practical home state for holding companies and lean operating businesses.
- No corporate income tax
- Annual report
- LLC or Corporation
Texas
Domestic operatorsIdeal if you actually live or operate in Texas. No personal income tax, a large domestic market, and a franchise tax that most small businesses fall under the threshold for.
- No personal income tax
- Franchise tax report
- LLC or Corporation
Your home state
If you operate thereIf you live and do business in one U.S. state, forming there is usually cheapest and simplest — it avoids a second foreign-registration filing. Tell us where you operate and we'll say so plainly.
- Avoids double registration
- One set of annual filings
- We'll advise honestly

Frequently asked questions
Can I form a US company without living in the US?+
Yes. You do not need an SSN, ITIN, or US address to form a Delaware C-Corp or LLC, or to get an EIN. You do need a registered agent with a physical address in the state — included in our paid packages.
Do I need to file a FinCEN BOI report?+
For companies formed in the US: no. Under FinCEN's current rule (March 2025), US-formed companies are exempt from federal BOI reporting even when all owners are foreign. Only companies formed under foreign law that register to do business in the US must file. State rules can differ (New York has its own LLC disclosure law), and federal rules have changed before — our compliance calendar tracks this for you.
C-Corp or LLC?+
C-Corp if you plan to raise venture capital or issue stock options. LLC for most self-owned service, e-commerce, and SaaS businesses. Our free guide walks you through it — and non-residents cannot own S-Corps, whatever another site told you.
How long does formation take?+
Typically 1–3 business days for the Delaware filing after your details are confirmed, plus 1–3 weeks for the IRS to issue an EIN without an SSN. We show you live status at every step.
Will you guarantee bank approval?+
No one can honestly guarantee that. We show you the institutions that routinely open accounts for non-resident founders with an EIN and passport, and we prepare your documents so your application is as strong as possible.
Is this legal advice?+
No. BizForm is not a law firm. We provide self-help services and education at your direction. For legal advice, consult a licensed attorney.
