The 7 steps of your case
A linear, readable progression. Each step is completed before moving to the next — nothing is left to chance.
- Step 1Kick-off
Secure payment
You pay for the Formation Pack via Stripe. Nothing is set in motion until your payment is confirmed: no order, no committing action.
- Step 2Your details
Onboarding
You complete a structured questionnaire: identity, tax residence, project, desired name and the structure of your LLC. A few minutes is all it takes.
- Step 3Human gate
Review of your case
We review your case by hand to make sure it is complete and compliant before any order. This is a human step, never automatic.
- Step 4Partner
Placing the formation order
Once your case is approved, we pass the formation to our U.S. partner — an established registered agent, active in all 50 states for over 25 years.
- Step 5Authorities
Processing
The state and authorities process the formation: articles, EIN (IRS tax number) and registered agent are put in place.
- Step 6Delivery
Delivery of your documents
You receive your official documents and your "Annual Obligations" sheet. Your LLC is operational.
- Step 7Year after year
Maintenance
Each year, we can handle renewals and obligations through the Maintenance and Accounting packs.
Timelines stated honestly
We would rather give a realistic timeline than a false promise of speed. You are kept informed at every step.
Standard timeline
For the complete formation of your LLC. It varies depending on the chosen state and the workload of U.S. authorities.
Express mode
À-la-carte option: accelerated company formation within 72h. Authority timelines (EIN, etc.) remain independent.
The 2–4 week timeline covers the LLC formation. Obtaining the EIN depends on the IRS and may take a few additional weeks.
Timelines are indicative and depend on third-party authorities; they do not constitute a contractual commitment.
What you need to provide
To move forward, we need a few simple pieces of information during onboarding. We apply strict data minimization: only what is needed for the formation.
Proof of identity
A valid ID and your contact details.
Tax residence
Your country of tax residence, to frame your situation.
Intended activity
A description of your company's intended activity.
Desired name
The desired name for your LLC, and one or two alternatives.
Structure
The desired structure: single-member or multi-member.
Nothing binding is triggered without your approval
Our process is designed to protect you as much as us. Three concrete guarantees, at every step.
Nothing before confirmed payment
No order, no processing, no action that incurs a cost is launched until your payment is confirmed.
A human gate
Every case is reviewed by a human before being passed to our partner. No order is placed automatically.
A withdrawal window
As long as your case has not been passed to our partner, a refund remains possible under our terms of service.
