01Where you're stuck

Forming the LLC is easy. These four things are where non-residents get stuck.

You want a US company so you can get paid. These four things get in the way, and each has a fix.

Here's each one, and what we do about it.

01
"How do I get an EIN without an SSN?"The IRS online form isn't open to you.

We prepare Form SS-4 the way that works from abroad and submit it by phone, fax or post. You track it in your dashboard.

02
"What will this cost me next year?"Many sellers show year one only.

Your year two price is on this page now: the $60 state minimum, the agent and our fee. No renewal surprise.

03
"Is there a tax form nobody told me about?"Yes. Form 5472, and missing it costs $25,000.

It's in your calendar from day one, with reminders 30 and 7 days before, along with the Wyoming annual report.

04
"Will a bank even accept me?"Banks look closely at owners abroad.

We set up the account with you, using a file whose names and addresses match, and it almost always goes through.

02The change

A US company for founders who sell to America

If your clients, platforms or partners would rather deal with a US company, this is how you become one, from wherever you live.

  • Freelancers and agenciesInvoice US clients as a US company, not as a freelancer abroad.
  • Online sellersSell on US marketplaces with a US company and EIN behind your store.
  • Software and app foundersPut a US company behind your product, your payments and your store accounts.
  • Creators and consultantsWork with US platforms and clients that prefer paying a US business.
03What's public

What your Wyoming LLC shows on the public record

Wyoming's Articles of Organization don't ask who owns the LLC. Here's your entry, live from the name you typed and the country you picked.

  • Your LLC's name, status and filing date
  • Your registered agent's Wyoming address
  • A mailing address, which can be abroad
  • The organizer who signs, which can be us
  • Not on the form: who owns it. Your agent, your bank and the IRS still know.

05Your EIN

How to get an EIN without an SSN: three routes

Your LLC needs an EIN, the IRS number banks and platforms ask for. Without an SSN or ITIN the online form isn't open to you, so it goes by phone, fax or post. We prepare Form SS-4 and send it; pick a route to see when the number arrives. Doing it yourself? Our EIN guide walks through every line.

The IRS phone line for international applicants opens Monday to Friday, 6:00 to 23:00 New York time.

      • You'll have staff, an office or stock in another US state.
      • You live in the US. Your home state is usually simpler.

      Can a non-US resident form a Wyoming LLC?
      Yes. Wyoming has no residency or citizenship rule for LLC owners. You need a registered agent with a Wyoming street address, which we provide. The only exception: we can't serve residents of countries under comprehensive US sanctions.
      Do I need to visit the US or have a US address?
      No. Everything is done online. Your registered agent covers the Wyoming address the state requires, and your mailing address can be in your own country.
      How much does it cost to form a Wyoming LLC?
      Wyoming charges $100 to file online plus a 2.4% card fee ($2.40). After that, the yearly license tax is $60 for most online businesses. With Heirson you add $79 for year one, which includes the registered agent, the EIN and the operating agreement, so year one is $181.40 all in. From year two it is $69 plus $61.44 to Wyoming (the $60 tax and its 2.4% card fee), $130.44 a year, and we file the annual report for you.
      How long does it take to form a Wyoming LLC?
      Applying takes about 10 minutes. An online filing is active as soon as Wyoming accepts it. The EIN takes from the length of a phone call to about 4 weeks, depending on the route.
      Is a registered agent included with my Wyoming LLC?
      Yes. Wyoming requires one, with a Wyoming street address for legal papers and state notices, and yours is included with Heirson in year one and in every $69 renewal, so there's no separate agent bill. Already have an LLC? Switch your Wyoming registered agent to us for $69 a year.
      Can I be my own registered agent if I live abroad?
      No. The agent needs a Wyoming street address, and PO boxes or mail forwarding don't count. A registered agent is included with Heirson, in year one and every renewal.
      Can I get an EIN without an SSN or ITIN?
      Yes. The IRS issues EINs to LLCs owned by non-residents through Form SS-4, by phone, fax or post. The IRS charges nothing. We prepare and submit it for you.
      Can a non-resident open a US bank account for the LLC?
      Yes. We prepare what banks ask for (your Articles, EIN letter, operating agreement and passport) and set the account up with you, often fully online. The bank makes the final call, and it almost always says yes. Forming from India? Our US company from India guide covers the Indian rules on the money side.
      Wyoming or Delaware: which should I choose?
      Wyoming if you want the lowest yearly cost: $130.44 a year with us. A Delaware LLC costs $539 a year with its $400 tax, and is worth it when US investors or partners expect Delaware.
      Is a Wyoming LLC anonymous?
      Your name stays off the public state record, because the form doesn't ask for owners and we can sign as organizer. It isn't secret: your agent, your bank and the IRS know who owns it.
      Does Wyoming have a state income tax?
      No. Wyoming has no personal or corporate income tax, so it doesn't tax your LLC's profits. The only yearly state charge is the license tax, $60 for most online businesses.
      Do I pay tax in Wyoming?
      No income tax. You pay the yearly license tax ($60 minimum). A single foreign owner also files IRS Form 5472 each year, even with no US income. US income tax usually applies only to income connected with US operations. How the license tax is worked out, with a calculator, is in our Wyoming LLC tax guide.
      What happens if I miss the annual report?
      The LLC becomes delinquent on the second day of the following month, and Wyoming dissolves it if the report is still missing 60 days after the due date. You'd get reminders from us 30 and 7 days before. Every date and reinstatement cost is in our Wyoming annual report guide.
      Why not file it myself for $100?
      You can, at wyobiz.wyo.gov. You'd still need a registered agent, an EIN without an SSN, an operating agreement, a bank account set up and someone watching your yearly dates. That's what the $79 covers.
      Is Heirson the Wyoming Secretary of State?
      No. Heirson is a private company that files with the Wyoming Secretary of State for you and passes the state fee through at cost.
