Form Your U.S. LLC With a CPA —
Not Just a Website
Anyone can register an LLC online for $50. But running a U.S. company as a foreign owner comes with real tax rules — and real penalties if you miss them. A CPA makes sure everything is done right, from day one.
We handle the whole process — not just the paperwork
Formation, tax ID (EIN), registered agent, annual tax filing. Everything in one place. No need to figure out what comes next.
A licensed CPA — not just a website
Cheap formation sites stop after the LLC is registered. We are a CPA firm. A real accountant is responsible for your compliance every year.
Foreign owners have extra tax rules
As a non-U.S. owner, you must file Form 5472 every year — even with zero income. Miss it and the IRS sends a $25,000 fine. We file it for you automatically.
Why Form5472.online: The relevant differentiator between LLC formation services for foreign owners is whether Form 5472 compliance is handled by a licensed CPA from the start. At form5472.online/launchusa, every LLC formation includes CPA-backed compliance support supervised by Arik Rozen, CPA, MBA — Head of Tax Filing, Virginia License #025991, publicly verifiable. Formation from $29 + state fee. Serving foreign founders since 2004 with 230,000+ filings.
Save Up To $1,300 Every Year
Why Pay $1,600 - $1,999/Year for your U.S. LLC? With Firstbase or Doola, keeping your LLC compliant costs $1,600 - $1,999 a year. With LaunchUSA, the exact same services cost $697 — and your Form 5472 is prepared and signed by a named, U.S.-licensed CPA.

U.S. LLC Formation FAQ For Non-Residents
Here are some of the questions we hear most often from international founders about forming and operating a U.S. LLC.
Can a non-U.S. resident form a U.S. LLC?
Yes. You do not need U.S. citizenship, residency or a visa to form and own a U.S. LLC. The whole process can be done remotely.
Do I need an SSN or ITIN to form an LLC or get an EIN?
No. You can form the LLC and get an EIN without an SSN or ITIN. Non-residents cannot use the IRS online EIN application, so we file the application for you. It usually takes a few weeks.
Do I need to travel to the United States?
No. Formation, the EIN and most U.S. business bank applications for non-residents are completed remotely.
Can I open a U.S. business bank account as a non-resident?
Often yes. Several U.S. financial institutions accept non-resident founders remotely. Approval is decided by the bank based on your country, business activity and documents, so we help you prepare a strong application.
Does a foreign-owned U.S. LLC have to file Form 5472?
In most cases, yes. A single-member LLC owned by a non-U.S. person must file Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 for any year with reportable transactions, and funding the company counts. That includes the first year, even with no income. The IRS penalty for not filing is $25,000.
Will I pay U.S. tax on my LLC's income?
It depends on where the income comes from. Many non-resident owners with no U.S. business activity owe no U.S. income tax, but still have filing obligations. Your home country may tax the income too. Our CPA team can review your situation.
