FAQ
Everything founders abroad ask us about forming a U.S. company, yearly filings, taxes, banking and prices, in one place.
BROWSE BY TOPIC
GETTING STARTED
No. You can form and run your U.S. company from anywhere in the world, without living in the U.S. and without a Social Security Number. Everything is done online in your portal.
Create your free account in the portal, choose your service and pay securely online. We then tell you exactly which documents we need. See how it works.
Yes. The Standard Bundle (registered agent and federal tax return) and our standalone services are available for companies in any U.S. state, at the same price everywhere. Company formation and the All-in-One Platinum Bundle are for Wyoming and Delaware companies only. See all services.
No. Bary Business handles company filings and tax returns, but we are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice.
FORMING A COMPANY
Wyoming and Delaware only. Why Wyoming and Delaware and why not other states.
Your company and EIN are usually ready in 10 calendar days or less in Wyoming, and up to 18 calendar days in Delaware, counted from when we have all your documents.
Formation starts from $299 for the Standard package and $399 for the Platinum package, with state fees and your EIN included. See formation packages.
Yes. The EIN is included free with every formation package. If you already have a company, you can order an EIN on its own for $100.
An LLC is simpler and suits most small businesses, online stores and freelancers. A corporation usually suits founders who plan to raise money from investors. If you are not sure, ask us before you order.
Wyoming has low yearly costs and simple rules. Delaware is well known to investors but costs more each year: a Delaware LLC pays a flat $400 franchise tax every year. Compare the two states.
YEARLY PLANS
Your registered agent, your federal tax return and your state filings by company type: the annual report in Wyoming, the franchise tax for Delaware LLCs, and the annual report and franchise tax for Delaware corporations. See yearly plans.
On the day you order. Each plan covers the next 12 months from your order date, not the calendar year.
Yes. Our prices include state fees. For Delaware corporations, the price covers up to $450 in franchise tax and annual report fees, the amount most startups with 10,000,000 authorized shares pay; any higher amount is charged separately. We calculate the tax with both methods the state allows and file using the one that gives the lower amount.
Yes. We remind you 30 days before your plan renews, and you can cancel before the renewal date.
States charge late fees and can end a company that stays behind, and the IRS penalty for a missed Form 5472 is $25,000. With our yearly plans, we track your deadlines and file the required documents on time to help you avoid delays. Delaware adds a $200 late penalty plus 1.5% interest a month; it is charged to you if the delay is on your side, and Bary Business pays it if the delay is on ours.
TAX RETURNS
A foreign-owned single-member LLC files Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120. A multi-member LLC files Form 1065. A corporation files Form 1120.
A foreign-owned single-member LLC return is $150, including Form 5472 and the pro forma Form 1120. A multi-member LLC or corporation return is $350, in any state, no matter how many owners it has. See tax filing.
Our own team, led by an IRS PTIN holder and authorized IRS e-file provider. Your return is never passed on to a third party. We file it with the IRS and send you proof of filing.
March 15 for multi-member LLCs (Form 1065), and April 15 for corporations and foreign-owned single-member LLCs. We remind you before each due date.
Yes. Late returns for past years, reinstatement and other extra work are priced on request. Tell us what you need in the portal and we send you a quote.
REGISTERED AGENT AND SWITCHING
Every U.S. company must have a registered agent with an address in its state to receive official letters and legal papers. Our registered agent service is included in every yearly plan.
Yes. Switching is included in our prices, with no switching fee. See how switching works.
Not until we confirm. Keep your current service active until we email you that the change of registered agent has been filed with the state. Canceling earlier can leave your company without a registered agent, which the state can penalize. Once we confirm:
No. Your EIN stays the same, and your bank account and Stripe account are not affected. Only your registered agent and filing provider change.
Yes. We take over the yearly filings Stripe Atlas does not do for you, such as the Delaware franchise tax and, for corporations, the annual report. See Stripe Atlas after-care.
BANKING
Yes. Our Mercury banking support is $125. We review your company documents and website and give you a checklist so your application is complete. See banking help.
No. Mercury makes the final decision on every application, so no one can guarantee approval. Mercury is a fintech company, not a bank; its banking services are provided by its partner banks.
No. The Mercury application is done online and does not need an SSN. Check whether your country is supported with our Mercury country checker.
PRICES AND PAYMENT
No. You see the full price before you pay, with state fees included. No hidden fees and no surprise costs. See all prices.
You pay securely online in your portal when you place your order.
Yes, bundle prices apply when you order the registered agent and tax filing together as a bundle. Ordered separately, each service has its own price.
Yes. You can cancel before your plan renews, and we remind you 30 days before the renewal date. Read our refund policy.
Yes. Our free tools are free to use with no account needed. They give general guidance, not legal advice.
