A Limited Liability Company is a US business entity that separates your personal assets from your business. It lets you open US bank accounts, use Stripe and other payment processors, sell on US marketplaces, and look credible to clients worldwide. ### Can a non-US resident legally own a US LLC? Yes. There is no citizenship or residency requirement to own a US LLC. You do not need a US address, an SSN, or to travel to the US — we handle the filings remotely. ### Which state should I choose? Wyoming is our recommended default for most international founders: low annual costs, fast processing and strong privacy. New Mexico is the cheapest with no annual report. Delaware suits founders planning to raise from investors. ### Will my LLC have to pay US taxes? A single member LLC owned by a non-resident with no US sourced income or US employees is usually not subject to US federal income tax, but it must still file Form 5472 & 1120 each year. This is general information, not tax advice and your situation may differ. ### How long does formation take? Wyoming takes about 5 business days, New Mexico and Delaware Standard about 12, and Delaware Expedited about 3 — counted from when we have your payment and documents. ### How do I pay for CorpAtoll services? Pay by Bank of Maldives (BML) transfer, in USD or MVR. After you place your order you will see the bank details and your unique order reference. ### Why is there a 40% surcharge for MVR payments? Converting MVR into the USD we pay to US states and partners costs us significantly more than the official rate. Paying in USD avoids the surcharge entirely. ### What should I write in the BML transfer remarks? Write your full name and your order reference (for example CA-24F7K9) in the transfer remarks, then upload the transfer slip in your Client Portal so we can match your payment quickly. ### Are there any hidden fees? No. State filing fees are included in the formation price, and 8% GST is shown as a separate line before you pay. Ongoing state annual fees are government fees and are listed clearly on our pricing page. ### Are payments refundable? All sales are final. There are two exceptions: a 30% refund if an Expedited ITIN exceeds the advertised IRS window by more than 60 days for reasons within our control, and a 90% refund if an order paid by MVR transfer cannot be fulfilled because of banking restrictions or FX limitations. See our Terms of Service for full details. ### What is an EIN and do I need one? An Employer Identification Number is your LLC's federal tax ID. You need it to open a US bank account, use Stripe, and file your annual returns. No SSN is required. ### What is Form 5472 & 1120? Foreign-owned single-member LLCs must file Form 5472 attached to a pro-forma Form 1120 every year, even with zero income. Missing it can trigger a $25,000 IRS penalty. ### Do I need to visit the US to open a bank account? No. We guide you through online-friendly US banks and fintech accounts that accept non-resident founders, fully remotely. ### Can I accept payments from international clients via Stripe? Yes. Once your LLC, EIN and US bank account are in place, we help you set up Stripe and PayPal so you can take cards from customers around the world. ### Is Year 1 Registered Agent really free? Yes. Every formation includes a free Year 1 Registered Agent and US business address. From Year 2 it is $135/year, billed through your client portal. ### What is the CorpAtoll Client Portal? Your private dashboard to track order status, upload documents securely, and download your certificate, EIN letter and other filings. ### Who will have access to my information? Only CorpAtoll staff working on your order and the US filing partners who need it to complete your filings. We never sell your data. ### Can I order services without forming an LLC? Yes. EIN, banking setup, ITIN and compliance services can all be ordered on their own if you already have a US company. ### Do I need to create an account before ordering? No — your account is created as part of checkout, so you can track the order and upload documents right away. ### What documents do I need to provide? A clear passport copy and your business details. For ITIN we will tell you exactly which certified documents are required. ### How do I keep my LLC in good standing? Keep your registered agent active, pay any state annual fee, and file Form 5472 & 1120 each year. We remind you before every deadline. ## Guides - [Wyoming vs New Mexico vs Delaware: which state is right for you?](https://corpatoll.com/resources/wyoming-vs-new-mexico-vs-delaware): A plain-language comparison of the three states we file in — costs, speed, privacy and when each one makes sense. - [How to get an EIN without an SSN](https://corpatoll.com/resources/ein-without-ssn): Non-residents can absolutely get an EIN.
