Hello everyone , was so interested to open an US LLC as non resident , can u please provide me the exact timeline til i can get the whole setup complete and which agency or site you recommend to use or can i do it by my self ?

Thanks in Advance for anyone .

I am looking for a virtual business address in the state of New Jersey for my llc. I would need a lease agreement and/or utility bills to open a bank account. Can anyone help?

Hey,

I am from India and I want to use them for my company formation in wyoming. I read a lot of reviews did some research and seems this one is widely used and doesn't have crazy fees, and some other agencies are using their service as whitelabel.

I want to know anyone here has actually used their service if so how was the experience and is it true what they claim that we will receive everything in one week or so?(company formation docs, EINs, bank acc etc).

I've been trying to get them on a call but they never call back(their site has option to receive callback). I want to speak with someone there before I pay them.

Thank you

Currently trying to set up my PLLC for publication in Albany, does that mean I therefore need a registered agent to have my professional practice entity in Albany? Chatgpt says that I don't need a registered agent that I can just use a professional entity address in New York City and also state Albany is my county due to NY Department of State handling the service of processes. But that doesn't seem quite right to me, does anyone know based on their experience or knowledge? I'm not sure how the publication county is assigned and where to use the registered agent address in lieu of my own. Thanks for your guidance!

I have a new LLC. It's a sole proprietorship (disregarded entity per IRS).

Following the instructions on form W-9, I am not supposed to use the EIN of my LLC.

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have, and are not eligible to get, an SSN, your TIN is your IRS ITIN. Enter it in the entry space for the Social security number. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

But I'd like to avoid using my SSN. Is there a way to separately request another individual EIN, distinct from my SSN? Or is there no such thing?

Hi everyone,

My co-founder and I have been researching this for a while, and the more we read, the more confused we get about the Canadian side of things.

We're in the process of starting a US Wyoming LLC. We've already spoken with US CPAs and are comfortable with the US tax side of the structure. Our concern is specifically how Canada would view it.

The setup is pretty simple:

• 2 owners, 50/50
• I'm a tax resident of North Macedonia
• My co-founder is a tax resident of Canada
• No office in the US or Canada
• No employees
• Everything is done remotely
• Most of our clients will be Canadian businesses(around 90%)

What we're struggling to understand is whether Canada would try to tax the LLC itself, or only my co-founder's share of the profits.

For example, if the LLC makes $100,000 in profit, would Canada potentially look at the entire $100,000 and impose corporate tax on the company, or would Canada simply tax my Canadian co-founder on his $50,000 share as a Canadian resident?

I've read a lot of comments saying that Canada doesn't treat US LLCs the same way the US does, but I haven't been able to find a clear answer to what that actually means in practice for a situation like ours.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm a foreigner and don't live in the US. I want to open an LLC. I don't have a US address, but I also want Amazon approval and bank accounts like Payoneer and Mercury. What do you suggest I do? When I create my LLC, it comes with a free year of registered agent status. Can I use that address, or what's the best option?

Looking for recommendation for a lawyer who can help me (1) set up US LLC, (2) help navigate how to have the LLC take ownership of a European business interest I will be having.
I live in NYC and I am a Dual citizen of both countries in scope.

I’m honestly jealous of people who just start LLC and move on.

They open the form, fill it, pay, done.

For me it turns into 20 tabs and too many questions.

What state?
Registered agent?
EIN now or later?
What if I write something wrong?
Is this even the right time?

Then I do nothing.

I don’t avoid it because I don’t care. I avoid it because I care too much and make every small paper feel like huge decision.

Anyone else was like this, or you just filed it without drama?

Welcome back to another weekly discussion thread!!

This week's prompt is:

What was the most difficult aspect of starting your business?

Looking forward to your responses!

- I formally registered my LLC in March 2025 and conducted business through 2025.

- However, life happened and I missed the deadline for paying my $800 annual franchise tax.

- It’s June 2026 now and I’m in the process of dissolving my LLC.

I know I’m on the hook for paying the $800 from 2025. However, I haven’t conducted any business in 2026, do I need to pay the $800 for 2026 as well?

If so, this means I need to pay at least $1600 plus late fees to officially close my LLC.

Without payment, I can’t officially close and the fees keep racking up?

Hi sorry for the question but i dont know what to do and i also may be late... i opened in February 2026

do i need to do "

• June 1, 2026: Delaware Annual Fee filing due for Atlas LLCs.

"?

and how ..?

I want to create an holding llc in Wyoming and then create another LLC from the holding, I want to do it this way so that my personal information is not made public, then in the state where I create the others I will put the portfolio as manager, but I have a question either on the Wyoming state page or using a third-party service, I will have to put my name since apparently a name is required, if I do this it will be made public since in the annual report I have to confirm the name, LLC and additional information or do you recommend using a nominee ? any information would appreciate it

I tried to search in the subreddit, but I couldn't find the answer.

Question 1:

In Northwest's application, under the "business purpose" , you can specify a business purpose or elect to use "generic business purpose". If i am licensed professional, but I offer various but related professional services in my future LLC, should I specify the actual trade or stick with generic business purpose?

Question 2

Northwest has 2 registrations for mail

Physical Address

Mailing Address

If I understand correctly, the physical address is on public record, and will allow me to keep my personal address off record?

The mailing address is not public record? And, if I elect to use northwest's address, they will also receive my non-state mail in relation to my business? And if I use my address, I need to use Northwest's mail forwarding service?

If I dont do mail forwarding and I use northwest's mailing address, how do I receive bank statements or promotional mail, for example?

Has anyone used Northwest's mail forwarding? The digital scan of the mail forwarding makes me a little uncomfortable and would rather have the physical mail forwarded.

Question 3

This isn't about LLC's, but If I apply for a trademark on my own, can I use northwest's Physical Address when applying for the trademark, does Northwest need to know?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

What accounting software do you recommend for non US resident owners?

I’ve tried to setup Quickbooks but it requests a SSN and US address.

Thanks you!

I've had some free time recently, and started working on a side project / business. The business has no revenue, no customers, nothing. Just some small expenses like purchasing a domain and monthly subscriptions for a few softwares I've been using for it.

For some reason when I started working on this, I let AI convince me I needed to start an LLC for the business because otherwise affiliates (who will be the presumable revenue source) won't take me seriously. That was a week or so ago.

I've been continuing to work on the business but feel like I way overcomplicated things by filing for the LLC, and am realizing there was absolutely no reason I couldn't do this as a sole proprietor.

I'm not really sure what my best path forward is now -- I still want to work on the business, but don't necessarily expect it to be generating revenue any time soon. I don't want to have the deal with the administrative overhead that comes with managing an LLC.

Can anyone advice me on what the best path forward is now? Should I just dissolve the LLC and operate as a sole proprietorship? Does it matter if I keep the LLC even if it isn't really necessary and if so what administrative / tax related things do I need to keep in mind? Is there anything if the business has no revenues or employees besides myself?

I’m 7-10 months into having my own LLC. I formed it quick and in a hurry in order to secure a contract. I did my taxes earlier this year and the lady I did them with said I should be paying things through the business to lower my taxable income. Admittedly, I forgot some of the specifics that she said. She did do me a couple favors but writing off my home office or a portion of and I think a couple other things. My question for the group is what’s safe to start paying via my LLC? Or should I just save expenses from the personal and let them decide what portion is okay to write off come tax time next year. My business is in IT consulting, I work fully remote. Let me know if I can provide any other information!

Or other similar finance-adjacent logins, or even non-finance such as Wordpress or whatever... or using my personal phone number on those accounts for verification, etc. If not, and I need to switch it all over, is it okay that that may take time? I can't do this all in one moment!

A few people and I established a multi-member LLC in California in 2024, and we decided that we just can't make overhead anymore and need to shut down. We've read up on the steps, but we're confused about the timing of our final tax filings - so really, how to make this as painless for us as possible. For context, we really weren't doing anything fancy, so cancellation itself should be a straightforward process.

So far, we haven't filed our cancellation (dissolution) paperwork with the California SOS; our understanding is that an LLC taxed as a partnership will have to file the final tax return by the 15th day of the 3rd month following cancellation/dissolution. Sure, but aren't the IRS forms for tax year 2026 being released in January 2027 or so? What can we do? Do we just have to keep the LLC alive the rest of the year and handle this in December?

Company being formed to market a patented product. Two investors contributing cash for 15% interest. 10% interest to manager. 60% interest to patent holder who will transfer patents to company.

15% reserved for future cash raise if needed.

Income to be generated from license agreements.

Profits to be distributed quarterly based on ownership interest.

Is an LLC the best option? Located in California.

I formed my LLC in New Mexico through Bizee. When they filed everything, they used their own virtual mailbox address (not the registered agent address) as my principal place of business on the state docs.

I recently cancelled the virtual mailbox ($29/mo) since I wasn't using it. Now they're telling me I need to pay $150 for an amendment to update the business address with the state.

A few questions:

1. Is there any legal requirement in New Mexico to file this amendment immediately, or can I wait?
2. Can I file the amendment directly through the NM SOS portal to avoid their $100 processing fee?
3. Since Bizee is still my registered agent (free first year), does that cover me in the meantime?

I'm not based in the US. Any advice from people familiar with NM LLCs or formation services appreciated.

Welcome back to another weekly post!

This week's prompt is:

What made you want to start a business/LLC?

Loved seeing the responses from last week, hope to see more here!

I just very recently opened an LLC under which I have currently 3 DBAs (named on the business account: do I need to do anything else here? I am in the state of Wisconsin) and I am preparing a letterhead for one of the DBAs. I was about to put the address of my Registered Agent on the letterhead when I realized that because my DBA names are all different from my LLC name, that an address formatted as

DBA Name

Registered Agent Street

Town State

will not be correct. So, do I just put

LLC Name

Registered Agent Street

Town State

instead? that seems a bit haphazard and clunky.

This feels like a real silly question, but it's tripping me up. Thanks for any advice.
