A US LLC unlocks wholesale brand approvals, limits personal liability, and is often required before a bank or payment processor will work with you. We handle formation, EIN, and bank account setup as one coordinated process.
What's Included
Everything covered in formation
State selection guidance
Most sellers form in Wyoming or Delaware for cost and privacy — we'll confirm which fits your situation.

Entity formation filed directly with the state, with all documentation delivered to you.
Registered agent setup
Required for every US LLC — we coordinate this so you're compliant from day one.
EIN (tax ID) application
Filed with the IRS so your business can open a bank account and file taxes correctly.
US business bank account
Guidance and application support for a bank able to work with non-resident owners.

Not legal or tax advice. LLC formation involves state and federal requirements that vary by your country of residence and business plan. We coordinate the filing process; for anything touching your personal tax situation, we recommend confirming with a licensed accountant or attorney in your jurisdiction.
Can I form an LLC if I don't live in the US?
Yes — this is one of the most common situations we handle. Non-residents can own a US LLC; the process just takes a bit longer, mainly around the EIN and bank account steps.
How long does the whole process take?
Typically 4–6 weeks end to end, with the EIN and bank account steps usually the longest for international applicants.
Do I need this before setting up my Amazon account?
Not strictly required for every seller type, but it’s required for most wholesale brand approvals and recommended for liability protection. See Amazon Business Account Setup for how the two connect.
