In this video, I walk you through how to start an LLC in the United States as a non‑US resident or foreigner. First, I clear up the terminology the government uses (resident vs non‑resident “aliens”) and the big misconception: you can legally own a US LLC, but that doesn’t automatically give you permission to work in the US. For most people, that means you’ll run the business from your home country or hire someone in the US to operate on your behalf. Then I break down the benefits of forming an LLC—liability protection for personal assets, lower maintenance than a corporation, access to the world’s largest economy, added credibility, and pass‑through taxation basics. After that, I cover the practical steps: choosing a state (often where you have employees; otherwise Delaware or Wyoming are common picks), choosing a compliant business name, and using a registered agent to receive legal and tax documents while keeping your personal address off public records. Finally, I show the “easy way” using Tailor Brands to handle the setup at an affordable rate, including a registered agent for free for one year. I also explain the EIN process for non‑citizens (Form SS‑4 via mail/fax if you can’t file online), opening a US bank account (often easier with online banking platforms), and quick federal tax filing notes for single‑member and multi‑member foreign‑owned LLCs.
