Six problems WyomingLLC solves for non-US founders
Each of these is a real, common failure mode for founders who try to build a US business stack from outside the US. The $297 + state fee package solves all six.
Stripe US rejection without a US LLC
Stripe requires a US business entity, EIN, and US bank account to onboard. PayU India, Razorpay, Stripe Brazil, and other regional processors do not give you US card processing. We deliver all three within 3 to 4 weeks.
Amazon Seller Central verification failure
Amazon rejects sellers without a US business identity for FBA, brand registry, and the tax interview. Wyoming LLC + EIN + US bank account solves seller verification once and for all.
30% US withholding on cross-border income
Without a US tax ID and treaty election, US payers (Upwork, Patreon, YouTube, podcast sponsors) withhold 30% by default. With your EIN and Form W-8BEN-E, treaty rates typically reduce withholding to 0% to 15% depending on your country.
PayPal blocked from your country
PayPal Business accepts US LLCs but requires ITIN ($297 add-on through WyomingLLC) for personal verification of the responsible party. Most use cases (Amazon, Stripe, Shopify) do not need PayPal.
Banking access from tightened-review countries
Mercury rejects roughly 30% of non-resident applications. We have a fallback chain through Relay (50% approval) and Wise Business (95% approval), with combined success rate of approximately 99% across the three.
Privacy and asset protection from public records
Wyoming SoS does not list members or managers publicly. Charging-order protection (Wyoming Statute 17-29-503) is the strongest in the US. FinCEN BOI is exempt for domestic Wyoming LLCs as of March 2025.

Why Wyoming for non-US founders
Nine structural reasons Wyoming is the top US state for non-resident-owned LLCs. Each is anchored to a specific Wyoming statute, tax code, or IRS rule.
No state income tax
Wyoming has no personal income tax and no corporate income tax. Combined with federal pass-through treatment, most non-residents owe no US tax on income that is not effectively connected to a US trade or business.
No franchise tax
Delaware charges $300/year minimum franchise tax. California charges $800/year. Wyoming charges $0 regardless of revenue, profit, or activity.
Strongest US privacy
Wyoming SoS does not list LLC members or managers in any public filing. Compared with Florida (manager listed), New York (members listed on initial filing), or California (manager and CEO listed), Wyoming is structurally more private.
Strongest asset protection
Wyoming Statute 17-29-503 makes the charging order the exclusive remedy for a member's creditor. Caselaw on single-member LLCs is widely considered the most consistent in the US.
Lowest annual fees
$60 minimum annual report. $100 filing fee at formation. Year 2+ recurring is about $160 plus registered agent renewal, totaling about $160/year vs $300+ for Delaware on franchise tax alone.
Crypto and DAO friendly
Wyoming Statutes Title 17, Chapter 31 (DAO Supplement) and Title 13, Chapter 12 (Special Purpose Depository Institutions Act) make Wyoming the only US state with both a DAO LLC framework and digital-asset banking statutes.
Fast remote formation
Wyoming SoS accepts online filings via registered agent. No notary, no apostille, no US visit. 24-hour turnaround with WyomingLLC.
Strong banking infrastructure
Mercury, Relay, and Wise Business all recognize Wyoming LLCs and have established review processes. Approval rates equal Delaware. No bank discriminates against Wyoming for state-of-formation reasons.
FinCEN BOI exempt
Domestic Wyoming LLCs are exempt from FinCEN beneficial ownership reporting per the March 26, 2025 Interim Final Rule. Combined with state-level privacy, there is no government registry of your ownership.
Why founders choose WyomingLLC over alternatives
- vs doola: $1,702/year cheaper than Total Compliance, no auto-renewal traps
- vs Firstbase: clear all-in pricing, no per-feature unbundling
- vs Stripe Atlas: Wyoming option (Stripe Atlas is Delaware-only)
- vs LegalZoom: built for non-US founders, not generic US small businesses
Compared with alternatives
Side-by-side with the most-considered alternatives: doola, Firstbase, Stripe Atlas, and Northwest Registered Agent. Year 1, year 2+, and 5-year total cost.
| WyomingLLC | doola | Firstbase | Stripe Atlas | Northwest | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 service fee | $297 + state fee | $297 + $100 state | $399 + state | $500 (Delaware only) | $39 + state |
| Year 2+ recurring | RA renewal only | $1,999/yr Total Compliance | $1,713+/yr unbundled | RA only | $125/yr RA |
| EIN included | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | $200 add-on |
| Bank intros | Mercury, Relay, Wise | Mercury, Relay | Mercury, Relay | Stripe Treasury | Not included |
| Wyoming option | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Built for non-residents | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Generic |
| Auto-renew upsells | No | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| 5-year cost (basic stack) | ~$1,037 | ~$8,393 | ~$7,250+ | ~$1,700 (DE only) | ~$1,140 |
Honest take: doola is a real option if you want their Total Compliance bundle (bookkeeping included) and value time over money. Firstbase fits YC-ecosystem founders who get partnership perks. Stripe Atlas is great if you go Delaware-only. Northwest is the cheapest year 1 for US residents but unbundled add-ons add up for non-residents. WyomingLLC fits founders who want Wyoming, transparent all-in pricing, and direct support across NYC and Dhaka time zones.
After your LLC is formed
Once you have your Wyoming LLC, EIN, and US bank account, here is the standard next stack. Most of these are independent: pick the ones that match your business model.
Stripe US
Apply at stripe.com with your LLC legal name, EIN, and Mercury (or Relay/Wise) account. Approval is usually instant for clean profiles. Stripe US gives you ACH, US card processing, and Stripe Connect for marketplaces.
Amazon Seller Central
Use the LLC as the seller of record, EIN as the tax ID, and Mercury for payouts. Brand Registry requires a USPTO trademark, which takes 6 to 12 months but you can sell without it.
Shopify + Shopify Payments
Shopify accepts Wyoming LLC + EIN + US bank for Shopify Payments. No PayPal required for Shopify checkout if you use Shopify Payments.
PayPal Business
PayPal accepts a US LLC but requires ITIN ($297 add-on through WyomingLLC) for personal verification of the responsible party. Most founders do not need PayPal.
Bookkeeping
QuickBooks Online ($30+/month) or Wave (free). Most founders start with Wave and graduate to QuickBooks once revenue scales past $5K/month.
Sales tax registration
Required in states where you have nexus. FBA inventory in Amazon warehouses creates physical nexus. TaxJar (~$19/month) or Avalara automate multi-state collection and remittance.
USPTO trademark
$250 to $350 per class. Required for Amazon Brand Registry. Filed direct with USPTO via Trademark Electronic Application System.
Year 2+ compliance
Wyoming annual report ($60, first day of anniversary month) and IRS Form 5472 plus pro forma 1120 ($99/year add-on or via CPA, due April 15 or October 15 with extension).
