Why consider forming an LLC in the United States?
Registering a U.S. LLC is one of the most effective ways to unlock access to the American financial and legal infrastructure. Whether you're launching a startup, managing international transactions, or seeking a neutral jurisdiction to hold assets, the U.S. offers unmatched benefits.
A U.S. company strengthens your global reputation and creates instant credibility with clients, suppliers, and financial institutions. It enables you to invoice in USD, access payment platforms, sign contracts governed by U.S. law, and participate in international commerce without bureaucratic hurdles. The regulatory environment in states like Wyoming and Delaware is designed to support small and medium-sized businesses as well as large-scale global structures. With fast-track formation
procedures, limited disclosure requirements, and attractive tax regimes, the U.S. has become a hub for entrepreneurs and remote-first companies from around the world.
Your LLC can serve as an operational business, holding structure, or investment vehicle. It can be owned by an individual or another company. In some cases, a U.S. LLC can even serve as a cost-effective alternative to traditional offshore structures — with the added benefit of being based in a globally respected legal system. Thompson&Stein ensures that your company formation is not only fast, but also fully compliant with U.S. law. Our team of international experts provides step-by-step guidance, from choosing the best jurisdiction to handling IRS filings and accounting requirements.
