Business Formation for Non-US Founders

Founders outside the United States often want a US entity to access American customers and investors. The path is open, but it carries extra tax and banking considerations.

You can form a US company without being a resident, though opening bank accounts and handling tax filings requires care. Many non-US founders choose a Delaware C corp.

• No residency is required to form a US company
• A Delaware C corp is the standard choice
• You need a US bank account and an EIN
• Cross-border tax planning should come early

Work with advisors who understand both jurisdictions before you commit. The entity is easy to create; the tax and banking setup is where international founders hit friction.
