NEW BUSINESS FORMATION

Why Starting a Business in the USA Feels Overwhelming

You have the ambition, the business idea, and the drive — but when you sit down to actually register a company in the USA, the complexity hits you like a wall. Should you form an LLC or a C-Corp? Which state offers the best tax advantages — Delaware, Wyoming, or your home state? What is an EIN, and how does a non-resident even apply for one?

These are not just administrative questions. Every decision you make during business formation has lasting tax and legal consequences. Choosing the wrong setup can cost you significantly:

  • The wrong entity type can cost you thousands in excess taxes annually
  • State compliance rules vary dramatically — what works in Wyoming may create tax obligations in California
  • Missing your EIN, BOI Report, or Annual Report deadline triggers federal and state penalties

Compare States

The state you choose affects your taxes, privacy, and annual compliance costs. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the two most popular formation states.

        Entity Type Comparison

        Your entity type determines how you’re taxed, how you raise capital, and how your personal assets are protected. Select a type below to learn more.

        Flexible Structure. Pass-Through Taxation. Zero Restrictions on Foreign Ownership.

        The LLC is the most popular entity type for small businesses and international entrepreneurs entering the U.S. market. It offers personal asset protection, tax flexibility, and minimal operational formalities.

        • Pass-through taxation — profits taxed only at the personal level (10%–37%)

        • No board of directors or annual meeting requirements

        • No restrictions on foreign ownership — ideal for non-U.S. residents

        • Personal liability protection separates business debts from personal assets

        • Can be single-member or multi-member with flexible profit-sharing

        Square – LLC

        Built for Growth. Issue Stock. Attract Investors.

        The C-Corp is the preferred entity for startups seeking venture capital, companies planning to go public, and businesses that need to issue multiple classes of stock. It’s a separate legal entity with the strongest liability protections.

        • Flat 21% federal corporate tax rate on profits

        • Can issue common and preferred stock to raise capital

        • Preferred by VCs, accelerators, and institutional investors

        • Subject to double taxation: corporate profits + shareholder dividends

        • Requires board of directors, corporate minutes, and formal governance

        Square – C Corp

        Corporate Structure. Pass-Through Tax Benefits. Self-Employment Savings.

        The S-Corp election combines the liability protection of a corporation with the tax efficiency of pass-through taxation. Owners can reduce self-employment tax by splitting income between salary and distributions.

        • Pass-through taxation — no corporate-level tax, avoids double taxation

        • Self-employment tax savings through salary/distribution split

        • Restricted to U.S. citizens and resident aliens only

        • Maximum 100 shareholders; no foreign or entity ownership

        • Requires reasonable salary, board meetings, and corporate minutes

        Square – S Corp
