Limited liability company
A flexible entity that can be fully foreign-owned, with pass-through taxation by default. A common choice for founders, freelancers and holding structures.
- Ownership
- One or more members and non-US owners are permitted. Members may be individuals or companies.
- Local presence
- A registered agent and a registered office in the state of formation are required. No US residency is required to own an LLC.
- Liability
- A separate legal entity. Member liability is generally limited to their investment in the company.
- Tax & records
- Pass-through by default, or elect corporate taxation. Foreign-owned single-member LLCs have specific IRS filings such as Form 5472.
A prepared filing starts with the right information.
We agree the service scope with you. You retain control over the decisions that shape your company.

What you provide

A registered agent and a state of formation are required, and foreign-owned LLCs may need Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120. Under FinCEN's 2026 final rule, domestic US companies are exempt from beneficial ownership (BOI) reporting — it now applies only to foreign-formed entities registered in a US state. State annual reports or franchise taxes can still apply depending on your entity and state.
