Start your company in the US or the UK
US LLCs and C-Corporations in any state, and UK LTD companies. We prepare the documents, file them and guide you through EIN, banking and yearly compliance.
Choose your company and state
Pick a company type and a state. The summary shows the government fee before you apply.
Which one fits you?
Both protect your personal assets. The difference is mostly how you are taxed and whether you plan to raise investment.
| US LLC | US C-Corporation | |
|---|---|---|
| Owners | Members | Shareholders |
| Federal tax | Pass-through by default. A foreign-owned single-member LLC files Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 each year. | Pays US corporate income tax and files Form 1120. |
| Raising investment | Possible, but less common with venture investors | Issues shares; the usual choice for venture-backed startups |
| Ongoing paperwork | Lighter | Bylaws, board decisions and share records |
| Often chosen by | Freelancers, online sellers and agencies | Startups planning to raise money |
Pick an LLC if…
You freelance, sell online or run a small team and want simple paperwork with pass-through taxes.
Pick a C-Corp if…
You plan to raise money from investors, issue shares to a team, or build a venture-backed startup.
