Country × State Decision Tree: Interactive Tool

Where to form an LLC is the most common question we get. The answer depends on your country, business type, and goals. We built an interactive decision tree that walks you through the questions and outputs a specific recommendation.

Answer

The decision tree is live at wyomingllc.xyz/tools/decision-tree. Inputs: country of residence, business type (SaaS, agency, e-commerce, content, freelance, crypto, other), revenue stage, and goals (cost, privacy, fundraising, asset protection). Output: recommended US state (mostly Wyoming, occasionally Delaware or Florida), banking strategy, and country-specific tax notes. Free, no signup.

How the decision tree works

4 questions. Each branches based on your answer. Final node gives state recommendation, banking strategy, and 1-paragraph rationale. Takes 60 seconds to complete.

Question 1: Country

Drop-down with 60+ countries. Branches by treaty status, country profile, and banking acceptance tier.

Question 2: Business type

Radio: SaaS, agency/services, e-commerce, content creator, freelance, crypto, real estate, other. Branches by typical regulatory exposure and banking compatibility.

Question 3: Revenue stage

Pre-revenue, $0-$50K, $50K-$250K, $250K+. Branches by Brex qualification threshold and tax planning complexity.

Question 4: Primary goal

Lowest cost, maximum privacy, fundraising-readiness, asset protection. Branches to state recommendation (Wyoming, Delaware, Florida, etc.).

Example outputs

India + SaaS + $50K revenue + lowest cost → Wyoming LLC via WyomingLLC, Mercury primary, India-US treaty benefits.
UK + bootstrapped SaaS + fundraising goal → Wyoming LLC + future Delaware conversion when raising; or Stripe Atlas Delaware now if priced equity imminent.
Brazil + agency + $250K revenue + lowest cost → Wyoming LLC, Wise primary (Brazil has no US treaty so no FDAP advantage from Mercury).

Frequently asked questions

Where is the decision tree?

wyomingllc.xyz/tools/decision-tree. Free.

Does it cover all 50 US states?

Output recommends Wyoming, Delaware, Florida, or Nevada in most cases. These cover 95% of non-resident scenarios.

Will the recommendation change over time?

We update the underlying logic quarterly as policies change. Saved recommendations may differ if you re-run.

Can the tree be wrong?

Yes for edge cases. Generic recommendations work for ~90% of founders. Complex situations (multiple LLCs, international holding, M&A planning) benefit from a US CPA consultation.
