Company Formation in the United States (Wyoming / Delaware)

The United States remains the world’s most trusted and dynamic business environment — and for international founders, forming a U.S. company is often a strategic move that opens doors to global markets, financial platforms, and investor confidence. Through Wyoming and Delaware, entrepreneurs can access a combination of credibility, privacy, and simplicity that few jurisdictions can match.

​

Among all fifty states, Wyoming and Delaware stand out as the preferred destinations for both startups and international businesses. Wyoming is known for its 0% state corporate tax, strong privacy laws, and minimal reporting requirements. It’s the ideal jurisdiction for entrepreneurs who want to operate lean, remote-first businesses without unnecessary complexity.

 

Delaware, on the other hand, is the legal and financial heart of American corporate law — home to most Fortune 500 companies — offering world-class corporate governance and global reputation.

​

For digital entrepreneurs, the benefits are tangible. Registering a U.S. Limited Liability Company (LLC) provides instant access to payment platforms like Stripe, PayPal, Wise, Mercury, and Relay, which often require a U.S.-registered business for account approval. This allows founders outside the U.S. to sell globally, collect payments in USD, and operate with the same credibility as domestic businesses. The structure is fully remote — there is no requirement for U.S. residency, and the entire registration process can be completed online within one to three business days.

​

The taxation model for U.S. LLCs is also exceptionally flexible. In most cases, a single-member LLC owned by a non-resident is treated as a disregarded entity, meaning it pays no U.S. income tax on foreign-source income — profits are simply passed through to the owner and taxed only in their country of residence. For those operating inside the U.S. or with American clients, local compliance is straightforward, and annual costs remain low compared to European or offshore jurisdictions.

​

Another key advantage is the reputation and protection that comes with a U.S. entity. The American legal system provides strong corporate rights, clear liability separation, and reliable enforcement. The process of filing annual reports or renewing business licenses is simple, inexpensive, and fully digital — ensuring that maintaining a U.S. company remains efficient year after year.
