How it works

From idea to incorporated.

Three steps. No mailed forms. No notary visits. Our team handles the procedure end-to-end.

FAQ

Common questions.

Everything global founders ask before filing.

Do I need to live in the US to form a US company?
No. Forma is built for non-resident founders. No US SSN, US address, or US co-founder required. We supply the registered agent, business address, and Federal EIN on your behalf.
Which state should I choose — Delaware, Wyoming, or New Mexico?
Delaware is the default for venture-backed C-Corps — every US investor expects it. Wyoming offers strong founder privacy and low fees for LLCs. New Mexico is the most economical option with anonymity. Our intake flow recommends a state based on your goals.
How long does formation take, end-to-end?
Average formation — including KYC, state filing, and EIN — is 6.8 days. Same-day expedited filing is available in Delaware, Wyoming, and Texas. EIN follows state approval within 3–5 days.
Can I open a US bank account after forming?
Yes. Once your Certificate and EIN are issued, your formation pack has everything to open accounts at Mercury, Brex, and most US business banks. Most of our founders complete bank onboarding within 48 hours of formation.
What's actually included in the flat fee?
Your Certificate, Operating Agreement (LLC) or Bylaws + Stock docs (C-Corp), Federal EIN, registered agent for the first year, and global KYC screening. No checkout add-ons, no marked-up state fees.
What happens after formation?
US entities have ongoing obligations: annual reports, franchise tax, federal BOI reports. Compliance+ ($29/mo) handles all of them automatically. Without it, we send free reminders before every deadline.
