Frequently Asked Questions
Can a non-U.S. person own a U.S. company?
Non-U.S. persons generally can own a U.S. LLC or C-Corporation. Restrictions may apply to regulated activities, sanctioned persons, government programs, and S-Corporation eligibility.
Should a foreign owner choose an LLC or C-Corporation?
The right choice depends on ownership, tax treatment, investment plans, operations, and exit goals. Nonresident aliens cannot be S-Corporation shareholders, so qualified tax and legal review is important.
Must the owner live in the United States?
U.S. residence generally is not required to form an LLC or corporation, but the company must satisfy state registered-agent requirements and may need U.S. address and identity documentation for banking or licensing.
How does an international applicant obtain an EIN?
After the entity is formed, international applicants can use the IRS international process by telephone, fax, or mail using Form SS-4. The responsible party and authorized signer information must be properly organized.
Does forming a U.S. company provide a visa?
No. Company ownership or formation does not by itself grant a visa, work authorization, or immigration status. Immigration matters should be reviewed with qualified U.S. immigration counsel.
