US Incorporation
Your US entity.
Structured to last.
Most founders pick an entity type because someone on Twitter recommended it. We pick it because it is right for your specific situation — and we have the documentation to back it up when your investor asks.
What's included
Our US incorporation service covers everything from the initial entity recommendation through to a fully operable US company with a bank account. We do not hand you a state certificate and call it done.
Every incorporation includes a written entity recommendation memo, state filing in any US state, EIN registration with the IRS, a professionally drafted operating agreement or bylaws (depending on entity type), a founders' equity structure recommendation, registered agent setup for the first year, and banking introductions to US financial partners who work with foreign-owned entities.
For C-Corps, we also draft the initial stock ledger, board resolutions, and Section 83(b) election guidance for founders receiving restricted stock — a step that most incorporation services omit entirely, and one that can cost founders dearly if missed.
Who this is for
This service is built for non-US founders who need a US entity — whether to receive US investment, serve US customers, hire US employees, or restructure an existing India or international holding structure into a US parent.
We work with SaaS founders, e-commerce operators, professional services firms, and holding companies. If you have US investors circling or US revenue growing, the entity question becomes urgent — and getting it wrong is expensive to fix.
We also work with founders doing a US flip — converting an India-based holding structure to a US parent. That is a more complex engagement (see our Cross-Border Advisory service), but it typically begins here.
Our process

Filing & Documents
We prepare your articles of incorporation or organization, operating agreement or bylaws, and all ancillary documents. You review and sign.
EIN & Banking
We file with the state, obtain your EIN from the IRS, and make introductions to US banking partners. You receive a complete entity package.
Frequently asked questions
The answer depends on your plans. If you intend to raise venture capital from US investors, a US C-Corp (Delaware, Wyoming, or other states) is almost always the right choice — it's what VCs expect, and it supports standard convertible note and SAFE structures. If you're building a lifestyle business, a services company, or an entity primarily for tax or holding purposes, a LLC (in any US state) often makes more sense: it has lower ongoing costs, flexible profit distribution, and strong asset protection. We walk through your situation on the discovery call and make a clear recommendation.
Yes. Non-US residents can form and own all 50 US states entities. You do not need a US Social Security Number — we obtain your EIN using your foreign passport. We also provide registered agent services so you have a valid US address for state compliance purposes. Bank account opening is more complex for non-residents, but we have established relationships with US banks and fintech partners who work with foreign-owned entities.
Standard Delaware formation takes 5–7 business days from the date we receive your signed documents and payment. Expedited Delaware filing is available in 1–2 business days for an additional state fee. Wyoming is typically 3–5 business days. EIN issuance usually takes 3–5 additional business days after formation. We coordinate all of this on your behalf.
A registered agent is a person or entity with a physical address in the state of formation who receives legal and government correspondence on behalf of your company. Both all 50 US states require every LLC and corporation to maintain a registered agent in the state. We handle this — either directly or through a licensed partner — as part of your incorporation package.
Yes. Delaware requires an annual Franchise Tax Report and fee, due March 1 of each year. Wyoming requires an annual report and fee. Both states have specific penalties for non-compliance, including administrative dissolution of your entity. We offer ongoing compliance services to ensure your entity remains in good standing — and we flag deadlines proactively rather than waiting for you to ask.
