Advantages of creating an LLC in the United States

Would you like to start a business in the United States without complications or annoying procedures? If so, you'll be interested in learning about the advantages of creating an LLC in the United States. An LLC (Limited Liability Company) is a business structure that fits the needs of foreign entrepreneurs who want to start or expand their businesses in the United States very well. In this article, you will learn about the main advantages of creating an LLC in the United States and how you can do it quickly, simply, and economically with Wayfrontier.

What is an LLC in the United States?

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the United States is a business structure that allows owners to operate their company with certain legal protections and flexibility in its management. Unlike a corporation, an LLC does not have shares and is not subject to the same strict rules.

What are the advantages of creating an LLC in the United States?

  • Ease and speed: Creating an LLC in the United States is simpler than you imagine. You only need to be over 18 years old, have a valid passport, and choose an available name for your company. You do not need a minimum capital contribution or a postal address in the U.S. The process is done online and can take between 1 to 3 days, depending on the state where you register it.
  • Flexibility in management: Unlike other forms of business, with an LLC, you do not need to comply with complicated formalities. Also, you do not need to hire employees if you don't want to. If you prefer to take care of everything, go ahead! Flexibility is the key. Finally, an LLC can choose the tax regime that suits it best. This means you can adapt it to your activity and personal situation.
  • Protection of personal assets: When you create an LLC in the United States, you are establishing a legal structure that protects your personal assets. That is, if you face lawsuits or debts, the liability is limited to the assets of the company, not your personal assets.
  • Simplicity in tax payment: If you are the sole foreign owner, you will not pay federal or state taxes, as long as you do not have a physical presence or dependent agents in the United States. This is because the LLC is a pass-through entity that transfers taxes to individual owners.
  • Business opportunity: Having an LLC allows you to access a huge and diverse market, work with e-commerce platforms, and apply for an investor visa (E-2). This visa allows you to live and work in the United States for up to 5 years, renewable if you maintain your business.
  • Access to new markets: By creating an LLC for foreigners in the United States, you can work on platforms like Amazon or Stripe, making it easier to expand your business to new horizons.

As you can see, creating an LLC provides you with multiple benefits, from ease and speed in its creation to flexibility in management and protection of your personal assets. Additionally, an LLC opens up thousands of doors to new markets and growth opportunities. All this without many complications!
