Start a US LLC
What a US LLC does not include on its own.

A foreign-owned LLC must file Forms 5472 and 1120 every year even with no income, and most states want an annual report. Missing the 5472 carries a $25,000 penalty. That is why our Launch USA bundle includes the first year's filings, and why Comply exists.

Your company in three steps

  1. Choose the structure

    A short call on what you'll sell, where your customers are and where you live. We recommend UAE, US or both, and which licence or state.

  2. Send documents and pay

    Passport, proof of address and a few details. We prepare and file everything with the authority or the state.

  3. Receive your licence or LLC

    Your licence or formation certificate is issued, then we move to visas, EIN, banking and the compliance calendar.

Questions

Can I set up a UAE or US company without living there?

Yes. UAE free zones and US states such as Wyoming and Delaware allow non-resident owners, and the whole process is handled remotely. The UAE side may need one visit for a visa; a US LLC needs none.

UAE or US: which do I need?

A UAE company gives you a Gulf base, 100% ownership and access to UAE banking and visas. A US LLC gives you Stripe, Amazon, US clients and a dollar bank account. Many founders end up with both. We advise before anything is filed.

Free zone or mainland?

Free zones suit international trade, consulting and online businesses. Mainland licences let you trade directly in the UAE market. We help you choose based on what you plan to do.

How long does it take?

A UAE free zone licence is typically 3 to 10 working days. A US LLC is usually filed within a week; the EIN can take 2 to 6 weeks for non-residents.
