A US company, from wherever you are.
You do not need to be American, live in America, or hold a social security number. We file your LLC or C-Corp in any of the 50 states, get your EIN from the IRS, and give you a registered agent and a real US business address - so you can take Stripe payments and open a bank account like any US founder.
Founders from 175+ countries · No SSN required · Formation filed in 1-2 business days

Pick your state
Wyoming, Delaware, Florida and Texas are filed directly by NameMarshal. We will tell you which fits, plainly.
We file it
Articles of Organization go to the Secretary of State. You get the stamped certificate back.
EIN from the IRS
The part that traps most foreign founders. No SSN needed - we handle the SS-4 process for you.
Start trading
Registered agent, US address and operating agreement in place. Bank and Stripe next.
Built to work with the platforms you already use
Start your US company
Everything happens here. You will not be bounced between three different websites.
Set up your US company.

EIN without an SSN
The step that stops most non-US founders. Filed correctly the first time.
Registered agent
Real US street address, staffed during business hours. Required in every state.
Formation for e-commerce
Set up the way Amazon Seller Central, Shopify Payments and Stripe actually verify.
Amazon FBA sellers
Formed for Seller Central's tax interview, with the right form from day one.
Shopify sellers
Built for Shopify's operational-presence check, not just a certificate.
Dropshipping
Wyoming-first, priced for a business with no US inventory.
TikTok Shop sellers
The domestic-track entity TikTok's cross-border track doesn't give you.
Content creators
Privacy, banking and liability separation an individual account doesn't have.
Stay compliant.
Form 5472, annual state reports, and business tax filings. The obligations that catch out founders who thought forming the company was the end of it.
Business tax filing
Form 5472 and your federal + state tax filings, prepared by licensed tax professionals. Every year, whether or not you traded.
Sales tax & economic nexus
State sales tax registration and filing for online sellers, covering marketplace facilitator rules and per-state nexus thresholds.
Run the business.
Once you're operating, bookkeeping and e-commerce analytics keep every payout, fee and invoice in one ledger so tax season is a report, not a reconstruction.
Prices in USD, billed annually. State filing fees vary by state and are paid directly to the state at checkout - Wyoming is the fastest and cheapest, Delaware is the standard for VC-backed startups, Florida and Texas suit e-commerce and consumer-market businesses.
Forming outside the US? We also form companies in the UK, Estonia, Singapore, the UAE and five more.
The state fee is quoted up front
Every US state charges its own filing fee. We show you the number before you pay rather than adding it at the last screen.
You own the company outright
Registered in your name, with your certificate and your EIN letter. Leave whenever you want and take it with you.
We tell you what we are not
We are not a law firm and not your accountant. We file paperwork accurately and put you in front of licensed professionals for the rest.
How this works. NameMarshal is not a law firm or an accountancy practice, and nothing here is legal or tax advice. Company formation, EIN, registered agent and tax services on this page are fulfilled by our formation partner doola, who is set up to file in all 50 states. A small number of states we file ourselves - we say which on the state selector above. Foreign-owned US LLCs generally have to file Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 every year, even with no income, and the penalty for missing it is steep. Ask us and we will point you at someone licensed to handle it.
