How do I form an LLC as a non-US resident?

You can form a US LLC remotely without being a US resident. Easybrise handles the entire formation process including state registration, registered agent designation, and EIN application — no visit to the US required.

How long does it take to get an EIN?

For US residents with an SSN, EIN issuance can be immediate online. For non-US founders without an SSN, the IRS requires submission via phone or fax, which typically takes 1–4 weeks. Easybrise handles the entire application process on your behalf.

What is BOI filing and do I need it?

BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) filing is a federal requirement under the Corporate Transparency Act. Most US LLCs and corporations must report their beneficial owners to FinCEN. New companies formed in 2025 and later must file within 30 days of formation.

Can I open a US bank account remotely?

Yes. Select US banks like Mercury and Relay accept remote applications from non-US residents. Easybrise prepares your documentation package — including formation documents, EIN letter, and business description — to support a smooth application process.

What ongoing compliance do I need for my LLC?

Most states require annual reports and franchise tax payments to maintain good standing. You may also need BOI updates within 30 days of ownership changes, registered agent renewals, and federal tax filings including Form 5472 for foreign-owned LLCs. Easybrise tracks all deadlines automatically.
