- Which Company Structure is Best for You? -
Depending on the nature of your business you have a few legal structures to choose from - U.S. Company Formations for Non-Residents
Setup as an LLC
A Limited Liability Company can be incorporated by both residents and non-residents of the United States. LLCs can be owned by one or more people, who are known as “members.” An LLC with one owner is known as a single-member LLC, and an LLC with more than one owner is known as a multi-member LLC.
Setup as a C-Corp
C-corporations can be owned by US Citizens, permanent residents and foreign nationals and generally have an easier time attracting investors. Owning shares is generally considered preferable to owning LLC membership interests which is why a corporation can obtain capital through equity financing easier than an LLC.
Setup as an LLP
A Limited Liability Partnership Company can be incorporated by both residents and non-residents of the United States. LLPs are entities owned by more than one person, who are known as “members.” Whereas an LLP with one owner is known as a single-member LLC, and an LLP with more than one owner is known as a Limited Liability Partnership.
Setup as a Nonprofit
