You need to obtain an Employer identification Number (EIN) if you decide to incorporate your business or form an LLC. This is a 9 digit number that is assigned by the IRS and is also referred to as the Tax Identification Number or TIN or even as Federal Tax ID number. An EIN is similar to a personal Social Security Number, but for your business. Each corp or LLC has a unique EIN.

For various purposes you may require a Certified Copy of the Articles of Association for instance to open a business bank account. Some states include this as part of their state filing fee whilst others require a separate filing procedure and filing fee.

Apostille Copy

If you do not reside in the US and wish to form a company in the USA, then you may be required to obtain a Apostille or “Certificate of Authentication” (this is for countries that did not participate in the Apostille Convention). Sometimes your home country may require verification of documents filed in the USA are legitimate. This add-on is often taken where you may wish to open a bank account or meet other business or licensing requirements in their country.

£45.00

Beneficial Owner Compliance

Only mandatory for companies with a non-US resident. To meet federal reporting requirements, companies must disclose their beneficial owners.

Certification of Incumbency

A Certificate of Incumbency is a document that is issued to outline the identity of the signing officers of a corporation (or LLC). This document is also used often to confirm that an individual is authorised to enact on behalf of the company.

Certification of Good Standing

You may require this document if you wish to setup a business bank account, apply for a loan or even to do business with another state, depending on the laws of that state. This is a document issued by the Secretary of State to certify that the company is in existence and confirms that it has not been dissolved or merged.

£45.00

Registries (Directors)

We form LLCs by submitting the required application form from the directors to the Registrar of Companies alongside a separate written consent form. Once we have obtained approval, we can then send you quickly the Certificate of Incorporation via email that can also be verified on the Registrar’s website.

Questions?

  • Is it worth it to register a company in the USA if I don’t live there?

    Companies owned by non-resident foreign nationals are given the same rights and treatment as companies owned by US nationals and residents. You will have access to all the same benefits and incentives as local companies.

  • Should I register an LLC or a corporation?

    It is recommended that UK owners register a corporation, not an LLC. A USA corporation offers limits of liability to its shareholders, equal to the shareholder’s initial contribution, much as the UK Limited company structure does. The LLC also offers limited liability but is not recommended due to legal, tax, and cost reasons.

  • What is the initial share capital required to form a corporation in the USA?

    Most states do not require any minimum share capital, and the ones that do, normally require a minimal amount

  • How many shareholders of a corporation must be residents or nationals of the USA?

    None. A US corporation and its shares can be entirely owned by foreign nationals who are also non-resident

  • How many minimum shareholders does a USA corporation require?

    US corporations can be established with only a single shareholder.
