Form a US business from anywhere in the world.
Non-US persons can own US LLCs and Delaware C-Corps without restriction. We form the entity in your chosen state (typically Wyoming for asset protection or Delaware for VC compatibility), obtain your EIN via paper SS-4 (no SSN required), connect you to US banking partners that open accounts for foreign owners, and handle ongoing compliance including Form 5472 for foreign-owned LLCs.
Built around how international founders actually operate.
Three things you will not get from a generic formation site.
EIN without an SSN
SS-4 filed via fax/IRS direct. We handle the non-US founder path end-to-end.
ITIN filing assistance
W-7 preparation guidance via a Certified Acceptance Agent partner.
Banking partners that accept non-US founders
Mercury, Brex, Relay all open accounts without a US passport.

How customers like you use the platform.
"Two of us founded a Delaware C-Corp from London. We did not have SSNs. File.Business had our EIN in nine days by fax. The bank account followed a week later."
"Wyoming LLC, EIN in 11 days, Mercury account in 16. The whole stack ready in less than a month from across the world."
