How to Set Up a US Company as a Non-US Resident
Doing it Right will Save Your Company Thousands (or Millions) of Dollars
The United States is the world's largest market, and welcomes entrepreneurs from around the world to come and start a business.
Setting up your business is a 3 stage process:
1. Determination (Research) Stage
2. Company Planning Stage
3. Action Stage
The Determination Stage is where you decide such matters as:
- Where to establish your US business
- Where to incorporate your US company
- Your need for protecting your intellectual property
- Whether you will need to obtain any special licenses
- Your need for visas or other immigration needs
- Your need for staffing for the business
- Your need to access the capital markets in the US
- Your need for marketing, supply chain and other support services
- Are there any tax incentives available, and what options are available to minimize your tax burden
In the Company Planning Stage you will determine such practical matters as:
- The name of the company
- Whether to be a corporation or a limited liability company
- Which state to incorporate in and which states to register in
- Determine the capitalization of the company (how many shares at what par value, and how much each shareholder will contribute to the company as their capital contribution
- Determine who will be the shareholders, officers and directors
- Determine the roles and responsibilities of the company's officers and directors
After completing the Company Planning Stage, the Action Stage should be very smooth and fast:
1. Form the company
2. Register the company in other states as needed
3. Hold the organizational meeting, appointing the officers and directors, issuing shares to the shareholders and taking such other
actions as necessary
4. Obtain the federal Employer Identification Number
5. Open your bank account
6. Start business: buy, lease or rent office space, hire employees, market the products, etc
