No, you do not need to be a U.S. citizen or resident to form a company in the United States. Foreign entrepreneurs and investors can register an LLC or corporation in most states, including Florida, Delaware, and Wyoming.

If you plan to operate primarily in Florida, forming a Florida LLC is often the most practical and cost-effective option.
