For independents

US LLC for freelancers and consultants

Your client base is going international, your projects abroad are multiplying: here's how a US LLC can, depending on your situation, simplify the administrative side of your independent business.

An independent business, an international client base

Many freelancers and consultants today invoice clients located outside their country of residence. An LLC can offer a simple structure to centralize this business, with light governance suited to a solo business — without the overhead of a more complex company.

What to keep in mind

Your freelance status in your country of residence (sole proprietor, independent professional, local company…) continues to exist alongside any US structure. The LLC does not automatically replace your current status: it works alongside it, based on a review of your personal situation and filing obligations.

Our support

What we take care of for you

When you're independent, every hour spent on admin is an hour you don't bill. That's exactly why we manage the company formation process described below — you stay on your assignments.

Formation, without travel or US residency

We take care of everything: choosing the state best suited to a solo activity, articles, paperwork and registration. It's all done entirely remotely — you don't need to travel or be a US resident.

The EIN, essential to invoice

Without an EIN (the federal tax number), you can't open an account, activate Stripe or invoice properly. We obtain this number for you, including without a US Social Security Number.

Bank account and getting paid by your clients

This is where most freelancers get stuck. Opening a US account as a non-resident, alone, often ends in refusals and weeks lost. We prepare your file, point you to the institutions that genuinely accept non-residents, and activate your payment methods (Stripe and alternatives) — so your clients can finally pay you without friction.

Your annual deadlines, without nasty surprises

An LLC owned by a non-resident must file specific returns — notably Forms 5472 and 1120 — which are costly to forget. We alert you to the main deadlines and help you organize the necessary information. Preparation, validation, signature and filing remain the responsibility of the client or a qualified professional appointed by the client.

These steps depend on your situation and the chosen state. Timelines and acceptance by a bank or payment provider are never guaranteed, as each institution applies its own criteria. Final compliance of your filings remains your responsibility — we're here to help secure it.
