You'll need an address for your business as well (separate from the registered agent's address) and here you can use a mail forwarding service. And to set this up you'll need a proof of your personal address and a photo id.

Personal address in my home country, right?

If so, I'm okay with that.

Seems like they provide incorporation services in a lot more countries than just the US, interesting.

They also seem reasonably priced compared to other services.

>>We use https://freedomsurfer.com/ and have a Wyoming LLC. Haven't had an issue in 5 years.



Well they are 10 times as expensive than the other mentioned in this thread!!



The total cost for a US registration is 247 EUR at registration for the NM LLC, 297 EUR for the WY LLC / DE LLC, 397 EUR for the FL LLC / AZ LLC and 15 EUR every month thereafter for the NM LLC, 20 EUR for the WY LLC / DE LLC, 30 EUR for the FL LLC / AZ LLC OR 197 EUR annually for the NM LLC, 297 EUR for the WY LLC / DE LLC, 397 EUR for the FL LLC / AZ LLC

Hi, I would like to form a US LLC as a non-resident, but there are too many services to choose from it's hard to tell which ones are worth it.

Also if any of these services help with opening a bank account that would be a plus, but I assume all of them don't really provide any benefits.

It's 10 times more than the registered agents, but if you want to open an LLC the registered agents will charge you more, ie State Fees (approx $100 in Wyoming), and other fees.



I believe FS include Beneficial owner filings, the state fees, registered agent, the 5472 + all required IRS filings for non-residents etc.



You'll probably find that once you pay for a registered agent, the filing fees/articles of incorporation, plus somebody to do the annual filing of each of those forms, the beneficial owner info etc, you're going to pay a lot more elsewhere (maybe not, I didn't do a full calculation)

If you file all yourself, it will be much cheaper of course. But the question is if you want / can do it yourself.

Well, the Beneficial Ownership Information Report takes 15 min to fill in online and is not complicated - doesnt make sense to pay for that. And hasnt Trump removed it anyway?



For the annual state filing and state fees: Well, one sets up one's LLC in New Mexico where there is no state filing nor any recurring state fee.



For the annual 1120 and 5472 filing, that is a little bit complicated, and different accountants will tell you different things. I see it this way, that no third party will care as much as you about this, so best to be in control here oneself and not outsource it. It's not too difficult to find good information about this and even pay for advice - but best to file oneself.



And then you have the registered agent, cant escape this unless you have a friend living in the US willing to handle it. There are totally fine services that are worth paying for Id say.



And beside the initial setup (which is also worth paying for) that's it!
