Forming in Wyoming
The most founder-friendly state for non-residents
Wyoming pioneered the LLC in 1977 and remains the top choice for foreign founders. There is no state income tax, no citizenship or residency requirement, and owner names are not listed in public records. Annual costs are among the lowest in the country.
For a non-U.S. entrepreneur running an online business, agency, or holding company, Wyoming offers the strongest combination of privacy, low cost, and simplicity.
