In short: you can form an LLC in any state, and none of them requires citizenship or residency. States differ in fees, annual reports, taxes and publication requirements. Pick your state below — its page has all the numbers.
How to choose a state
- Where you do business. If you have an office, warehouse or employees in a state, you usually form there — or register there as well (foreign qualification).
- Running costs. Look beyond the formation fee to annual reports and franchise tax.
- Reporting. Some states require no annual report; others do and charge a fee for it.
- Privacy. States differ in how much owner information appears in the registry.
- Bank and partner requirements. Sometimes a specific state matters.
Popular states for non-residents
- Wyoming — low annual costs and simple administration.
- Delaware — a well-known corporate state, familiar to investors.
- New Mexico — no annual report for LLCs.
- Florida and Texas — large markets, convenient if you plan to operate there.
The final choice depends on your goals — we will advise during the consultation.
