The United States remains one of the world’s largest markets and gives business owners a wide choice of states for forming an LLC or Corporation. A US company can be suitable for IT, e-commerce, consulting, investment, holding structures, US clients and international contracts.

Before registering a company in the United States, we compare the state, LLC/Corp form, annual fees, tax classification and banking requirements. After registration, an EIN can be obtained, accounting arranged and documents prepared for a USD account.

What changed in 2026 for company registration in United States

In 2026, a US business owner can choose between an LLC and a corporation and select a state that fits the actual business. Since March 2025, domestic LLCs and corporations have been exempt from FinCEN’s federal BOI reporting rule. For entities created in the United States, centralised federal BOI reporting is outside the current regime.

For an international owner, the main selection criteria remain the business activity, state of actual operations, annual state fees and federal tax classification. An LLC works for many IT, consulting, e-commerce and holding activities, while a corporation can be compared for investment, employees and scaling in the US market.
