Can I open a U.S. business bank account as a foreign owner?

Yes, foreign investors can open a U.S. business bank account, but banks require you to have an EIN and sometimes request that you visit a U.S. branch in person. We can assist you with obtaining an EIN, preparing required corporate documents, and connecting you with banks experienced in working with international clients.

Do I need to be a U.S. citizen or resident to form a company?

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. However, you’ll need a registered agent with a U.S. address and, in most cases, an EIN (Employer Identification Number) to operate legally and open a U.S. business bank account.

How long does it take to register a company in the U.S.?

The exact answer depends on the State of formation but generally a company can be formed within a few days.

What’s the best state to form an LLC as a foreign investor?

For most foreign entrepreneurs, the best state to form an LLC is usually where the business will operate, hire employees, or generate revenue. However, Delaware, Wyoming, and Nevada are popular for tax advantages, strong privacy protections, and business-friendly laws. If you plan to operate primarily in Florida, forming a Florida LLC is often the most practical and cost-effective option.
