The US is the largest economy in the world and the top destination for global entrepreneurs. Here's why thousands choose US LLCs for their digital businesses.
Unmatched Credibility. Operating a US entity instantly provides your business with global credibility. It simplifies the process of closing deals with US-based clients and suppliers.
Access to Financial Infrastructure. A US LLC allows you to open accounts with top-tier fintechs like Mercury and Relay, and gain full access to Stripe and PayPal, which are essential for e-commerce and SaaS.
Tax Flexibility. For non-US residents, an LLC is a pass-through entity. If you do not have a physical presence (ETBUS) in the US and no US-source income, you may have 0% US tax liability.

Our fee: From USD $199

3-year fee: HKD $5,370

Federal Reporting
Non-resident owned LLCs must file Form 5472 and Form 1120 with the IRS annually to report "reportable transactions."

Your EIN is the federal tax ID. You may also need an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer ID Number) for personal tax obligations or banking.

Private companies must hold an AGM within 9 months of financial year end (unless dispensed by unanimous agreement of all shareholders). We provide AGM minutes templates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about registering an LLC in the United States.
No. The entire process is 100% remote. You do not need to visit Hong Kong at any stage. All documents are submitted electronically through our secure online system.
Yes. Hong Kong allows 100% foreign ownership with no restrictions on the nationality of shareholders or directors. There is no requirement for a local partner.
The minimum issued share capital is just HK$1 (approximately USD $0.13). There is no maximum limit. Most companies are incorporated with HK$10,000 in authorized share capital.
With LAINEXUS, the typical turnaround is 1-2 business days from receipt of all required documents. The Companies Registry processes most applications within 1 hour electronically.
You need to provide: a valid passport copy and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement within 3 months) for all shareholders and directors, and your preferred company name and business description.
Not legally — a foreign director is permitted. However, having a local Hong Kong director is recommended for banking purposes, as some banks prefer or require a local director. LAINEXUS can provide a nominee director service.
Your company will be subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax (8.25%-16.5%) on Hong Kong-sourced profits only. You must file an annual Profits Tax Return with the IRD and have accounts audited by a local CPA annually.
Yes. A Hong Kong company can open corporate bank accounts in many countries. The HK company structure is well-recognized globally and accepted by most international banks.
A Hong Kong company is a more expensive and compliance-heavy structure but carries significantly higher credibility, allows access to HK banking, and has active tax treaties. A BVI company is cheaper and more private but has less banking access. Speak to our team for tailored advice.
Annual renewal requirements include: Business Registration Certificate renewal (HKD $2,150), Annual Return filing (HKD $105), Annual General Meeting, and a CPA audit. LAINEXUS offers an annual compliance package to handle all of this.
