Open and run a business in the US.

The US gives you the world's deepest venture capital market, dollar-denominated contracts, and 330M+ consumers — at a 21% federal corporate rate. Delaware, Nevada, and Wyoming levy no state income tax on non-operating entities. The gap is real. INNOVA CG has run the US practice since 2016, carrying non-resident founders end to end: incorporation, EIN, banking, and FinCEN compliance across all 50 states.

A Delaware LLC forms in 1–2 business days: a $110 state filing fee plus a registered agent at $100–$300/year, and no US-citizen director, manager, or shareholder is required. The Delaware C-Corp is the structure for venture capital. After formation you need an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS; without an ITIN the application goes by fax, 4–6 weeks. We take that tail off your plate.

Annually: Delaware's franchise tax — $300 for an LLC, from $175 for a C-Corp (by authorized shares or assumed par value, often $400–$50,000+ for VC-backed companies) — plus federal and state returns. Then comes the turn. Under FinCEN's interim final rule of March 26, 2025, US-formed companies are exempt from Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act; the obligation now falls only on foreign-formed entities registered to do business in a US state (a $500/day penalty applies).

No. A registered agent with a physical address in the state of formation is enough — no operating office needed. Agents in Delaware, Nevada, and Wyoming run $100–$300/year. But banks and payment processors often want a US address for correspondence: a virtual office or coworking address in New York or San Francisco clears most banking KYC requirements.

A Delaware LLC means pass-through taxation (profits taxed at member level, not entity level), flexible governance through an Operating Agreement, and minimal formalities. A Delaware C-Corp issues stock, supports employee stock option plans (ESOPs), and is the standard for US venture capital funds. A C-Corp carries 21% federal corporate tax plus potential dividend withholding. Venture almost always goes into a C-Corp; LLCs suit services, consulting, and businesses without outside investment.
