LThe LLC School
For founders outside the U.S.

Start a U.S. LLC from anywhere in the world

A clear, no-signup path to forming and running a U.S. LLC as a non-US founder — from choosing a state to EIN, banking, and staying compliant.

Build my LLC roadmap

Your path in four steps

01

Choose a state

Most non-US founders pick low-cost, privacy-friendly states like Wyoming or New Mexico.

02

Registered agent

Required in every state — and you generally can’t be your own from abroad.

03

Get an EIN

A free federal tax ID. You can get one without an SSN via Form SS-4.

04

Open banking

Several digital banks support non-US owners of U.S. LLCs — eligibility varies.
