Yes - and you can own 100% of it. There's no requirement to be a US citizen, hold a green card, or even visit the country. Non-residents from most countries can legally form and fully own a US LLC.

The state you choose matters more than most people realise. We focus on the two best states for international founders - Wyoming and Delaware - and help you pick between them based on your business model, banking goals, and long-term plans, not just whichever one's cheapest.

No. The entire formation process is fully remote - you don't need to set foot in the US to launch your LLC, get your EIN, or open banking.

All we need is your passport copy and a few business details. We file with the state, secure your EIN with the IRS, and walk you through banking applications from wherever you are. Founders across 50+ countries have launched their US LLC through GenZone without ever boarding a plane.

Yes. Once your LLC and EIN are in place, we guide you through opening a real US business bank account in your company's name - with USD wires, online banking, and debit card access (subject to bank approval).

Approval rates for non-residents depend heavily on how the application is presented. We've worked through this process hundreds of times and prepare your documents and answers up front to give you the best possible chance from the first attempt.

Yes. A properly structured US LLC unlocks Stripe, PayPal, and most major US payment processors - which is one of the biggest reasons international founders choose to launch a US entity in the first place.

We make sure your LLC, EIN, address, and bank account are aligned with what processors expect, so your applications go in clean and you avoid the common rejections, freezes, or compliance flags that catch unprepared founders off guard.

Your LLC needs a Registered Agent address in the state of formation - this is the official point of contact for legal notices and state correspondence. We provide this service as part of every setup, so there's nothing extra to source or pay for separately.

If you also need a business mailing address for marketplaces, banking, or branding, we'll point you to reliable options based on what you're trying to do - so it works for the long term, not just at sign-up.

LLC formation itself takes 1-3 business days in most states. Your EIN (federal tax ID) typically follows within a few business days, though IRS processing for non-resident founders can occasionally vary.

We give you a realistic timeline from day one - covering LLC, EIN, registered agent, and banking guidance - so you can plan your launch with confidence rather than guessing along the way.

In many cases, foreign-owned single-member LLCs with no US physical presence and no US-source effectively connected income may not owe US federal income tax on profits. However, annual federal filings (such as Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120) are still required, and individual situations vary based on your country of residence and any applicable tax treaty.

You're not on your own with this. Our in-house CPAs specialise in foreign-owned LLCs and handle your filings end-to-end, so you stay fully compliant from year one without having to source an accountant who actually understands your structure.

You'll receive a complete digital company package, including everything you need for banking, payment processors, and ongoing compliance:

• Articles of Organization (state-issued)
• Operating Agreement
• EIN Confirmation Letter from the IRS
• Registered Agent confirmation
• Complete digital document pack ready for banks & processors

Everything is delivered in clean, professional format - ready to forward to banks, accountants, or marketplaces without any extra prep on your end.

Yes. A US LLC is one of the cleanest ways for international founders to access Amazon US, Shopify Payments, eBay, Etsy, and other US-based platforms - subject to each platform's own compliance and approval processes.

Because we structure your LLC, EIN, address, and banking together as one aligned setup, your marketplace applications go in with everything matching - which significantly reduces the back-and-forth and rejections you'd hit applying piece by piece.

Yes. To keep your LLC in good standing, you'll need to maintain an active Registered Agent, complete annual state filings (which vary by state), and submit any required federal filings - including Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120 for foreign-owned single-member LLCs, and any other federal reporting that applies.

GenZone offers ongoing compliance support so none of this falls through the cracks. Many US LLC clients stay with us for years - we handle renewals, filings, and any structural changes as your business grows.
