Wyoming suits most founders abroad; Delaware suits those raising money. Neither needs an SSN or a visit.
- Formation. Pick an LLC or C-Corp in one of 5 states; the state accepts it 3–7 business days after ID checks.
- EIN. The IRS issues it without an SSN, from a Form SS-4 we send by fax or mail, usually within 2–4 weeks.
- Bank and Stripe. US fintech banks and Stripe onboard you remotely with the EIN letter and formation papers.
- Form 5472. Every foreign-owned single-member LLC files it with a pro forma 1120 by 15 April each year.
Free zone companies can be 100% foreign-owned, and since 2021 so can most Dubai mainland companies.
- Trade licence. We file with RAKEZ, IFZA, Meydan, SHAMS or the mainland for up to 3 activities, in 1–3 weeks.
- Residence visa. Our Go plan includes one visa, Pro up to three; each adds 2–4 weeks and a trip for biometrics.
- UAE bank. Banks usually want a visit or a resident manager, and a residence visa makes approval more likely.
- Corporate tax. Register with the FTA within 3 months, even at 0%, and file the return 9 months after year end.
Companies House registers most online filings within 24 hours; identity checks are the only wait.
- Incorporation. We file online with Companies House; it typically registers the company within 24 hours.
- Identity checks. Directors and PSCs verify identity (ECCTA) with GOV.UK One Login or an agent abroad.
- Year-one address. A registered office and service address, both appropriate, come included for the first year.
- UK taxes. Corporation Tax runs 19% or 25% of profit; VAT registration starts past 90,000 pounds of turnover.

The company formation FAQs

How does formation work?
How are US firms formed?
UAE setup: what happens?
How does UK filing work?
Pick a country and a package, then complete one short online form and verify your ID with a passport and proof of address. We file your company with the registry, prepare the founding documents, register it for taxes where needed and keep it compliant with all annual filings, renewals and reminders in one dashboard.
Choose Wyoming, Delaware, Florida, New Mexico or Texas and an LLC or C‑Corp, then fill in one short form and verify your passport and proof of address. We file with the state, act as your registered agent for year one, prepare the LLC agreement or bylaws, then get the EIN. Each document then lands in your dashboard.
Pick a free zone, such as RAKEZ, IFZA, Meydan or SHAMS, or a Dubai mainland licence, with up to 3 business activities. Next, fill in one short form and upload your passport, a photo and proof of address. We apply for your licence, set up a flexi‑desk for year one and, from Go, register the company for corporate tax.
Pick your package and company name, then fill in one short form and verify your identity with GOV.UK One Login or through our agent. We file online with Companies House, typically registering within 24 hours, set up your registered office and service address for year one and hand you the documents in your dashboard.
How can I get an EIN?
How is my EIN issued?
Do I sign up for tax?
Will I be ID checked?
We apply to the IRS for you as soon as your US LLC or C‑Corp is formed. Without an SSN or ITIN, the EIN application is handled by phone, fax or mail with Form SS‑4, and the IRS usually responds in about 2–4 weeks. Once it arrives, you can use it to open a business bank account, file US taxes and sign up with Stripe.
We apply to the IRS for your EIN, the company’s US tax ID, as soon as the LLC or C‑Corp is formed. You don’t need an SSN or ITIN: the IRS issues EINs to applicants based abroad by phone, fax or mail, and an ITIN is a separate add‑on. Banks, Stripe, PayPal and Amazon all ask for it, and so do all of your tax filings.
Yes. Every UAE company registers for corporate tax with the FTA within 3 months of its incorporation, even with no profit, and late registration brings a fine. Go and Pro include this. A tax return is due within 9 months of its year end. VAT at 5% is a separate tax, needed once taxable supplies pass a set threshold.
Yes, every new director and person with significant control verifies identity with Companies House before the appointment can be recorded. You can use the free GOV.UK One Login yourself, or our authorised agent verifies you from any country; until it clears the company cannot be incorporated, so we start right away.
Do I need to visit?
Is any trip needed?
Must I go to Dubai?
Any need to travel?
Usually not. A US LLC or C‑Corp is formed fully online with your passport and proof of address, with no US visit or SSN needed. A UAE free zone licence is issued from your documents, too, but a UAE residence visa needs one short trip to Dubai for the medical test and the Emirates ID biometrics, so plan a short stay.
Not at all. A US LLC or C‑Corp is formed fully online, with no US citizenship, residency or SSN needed. Your passport and proof of address cover the state filing and the EIN application, and our registered agent receives official mail for you in the state. Letters are scanned into your dashboard the day they arrive.
For the licence itself, no: it is issued from your documents. A residence visa needs a short visit to the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics. Once the licence is ready, most founders plan one trip for the visa and the bank meeting, so both get done in the same short stay, not on two separate visits.
Not at all. A UK Ltd is formed fully online, with no UK citizenship, residency or visit needed, and identity verification works from any country. Your passport and a proof of address under 3 months old cover the filings, and our registered office keeps a UK address on the public register. No premises, and no travel.
Can you help me open a business account?
Will the LLC get a bank and Stripe, too?
Is it easier to bank once I have a visa?
Can you help me open my UK bank account?
We prepare your company file and help with your applications to banks and fintech providers such as Wise, Payoneer or Mercury, depending on the country. We explain what each bank asks for and review your answers before you submit them, but we can’t guarantee approval, as every bank makes its own compliance decision.
Your EIN is what banks and Stripe ask for first, and it comes with every package. Go adds bank and Stripe account help: we prepare your file with the formation documents and EIN letter, explain what each provider asks for and review your answers before you apply. Final approval always rests with each bank or Stripe.
Go includes a bank introduction, and Pro adds multi‑bank support until an account opens. UAE banks usually expect a visit or a resident manager, and a residence visa eases approval. We build your file with your licence and company documents, but every bank makes its own compliance decision, so we cannot promise any.
Go includes bank and payment account help: we prepare your file with the certificate of incorporation, the Companies House number and each owner’s ID, explain what each provider asks for and review your answers before you apply. UK banks and fintechs onboard companies run from abroad, and the decision is the bank’s.
What’s a free zone company?
What’s an LLC vs. a C‑Corp?
What’s a free zone company?
What’s a PSC in my company?
A UAE free zone company is licensed by its free zone authority and allows 100% foreign ownership, often with a simple setup and no local partner. It suits consultancy, e‑commerce and online businesses, while a mainland licence is the better fit for trading directly with local clients and bidding for government work.
An LLC is the simpler, pass‑through choice and it is the best fit for most founders: a single‑member LLC owned from abroad pays no federal income tax itself, but it files Form 5472 every year. A C‑Corp suits raising capital, often in Delaware, and pays 21% federal tax on its profit, plus state tax, where it applies.
A UAE free zone company is licensed by its free zone authority and allows 100% foreign ownership, often with a simple setup and no local partner. It suits consultancy, e‑commerce and online businesses, while a mainland licence is the better fit for trading directly with local clients and bidding for government work.
A person with significant control: anyone holding 25% or more of the shares or votes. Companies House records each PSC at incorporation and in every confirmation statement. There is no minimum capital; 100 is our default, one person can hold all the shares, and a corporate shareholder names a representative instead.
Can I form a US LLC with no SSN?
What US state will suit me best?
Can a UAE firm be fully foreign?
Can I run my UK Ltd from abroad?
Yes. You don’t need to be a US citizen or a resident to own a US LLC, and you don’t need an SSN to start. We file in one of five states, add a registered agent with a US address, prepare your LLC operating agreement and get your EIN by phone, fax or mail, so you can then open a bank account and start trading online.
Wyoming suits most founders, as its yearly report and license tax keep running costs low. Delaware is the usual pick if investors expect it, while Florida or Texas fit if you have customers or staff there, and New Mexico is an option, too. Each state needs a registered agent there, and ours is included for year one.
In a free zone, always: 100% foreign ownership, with at least one shareholder and one manager. On the mainland, full foreign ownership is allowed for most activities since 2021, with limits for strategic impact activities. A residence visa is optional: Go processes 1, Pro up to 3, with the visa fees charged at cost.
You can. UK company law sets no citizenship or residency test for directors or shareholders, and one person aged 16 or over can hold both roles. Filings, accounts and ID checks are online, our registered office and service address keep both UK addresses, and reminders reach your dashboard wherever you live and work.
How long does registration take?
What’s the LLC and EIN timeline?
When will the licence be issued?
How quickly are UK filings done?
Registration takes days, not months. A Wyoming, Delaware or other US state LLC is normally filed in 3–7 business days after your ID checks, and the EIN follows in about 2–4 weeks. A UAE free zone or mainland licence is usually issued in 1–3 weeks, and each UAE residence visa then adds 2–4 weeks more to the timeline.
The state filing usually takes 3–7 business days after your ID checks are approved, depending on that state’s own workload. The EIN follows in about 2–4 weeks, as the IRS takes longer with applicants who have no SSN and no ITIN. Track every step, and download each document as soon as it is issued, in your dashboard.
Normally 1–3 weeks for a free zone or mainland licence, counted from the day your documents are cleared. Each residence visa adds 2–4 weeks, with the government visa fees charged at cost. Corporate tax registration follows within 3 months of incorporation, and we show every step and every document in your dashboard.
Companies House typically registers an online filing within 24 hours of the identity check clearing, so we quote 1–3 business days from your documents being approved. Paper filings take 8–10 days, which is why everything goes through the online route. Your certificate and number appear in your dashboard once issued.
Is owning a company abroad legal?
What does the US LLC file yearly?
Is my UAE company’s profit taxed?
Can my UK company be taxed twice?
Owning a US or UAE company from abroad is legal when it is run openly and reported correctly. We run KYC and AML checks on all owners, file via licensed agents, and banks report accounts to your home tax office under CRS or FATCA. You stay taxed where you reside, including under any controlled foreign company rules.
Each year the state wants its report or tax, such as the Wyoming annual report or the Delaware LLC tax, and the IRS gets Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 (LLC) or a Form 1120 by 15 April. Form 7004 can extend the date. Forming a US company doesn’t change where you live for tax, so do check the rules at home, as well.
UAE corporate tax is 0% on taxable income up to a threshold and 9% above, and every UAE company still registers and files a tax return. There is no personal income tax, but the UAE does not decide your tax at home: if you live somewhere else, your country may tax you there or treat the company as managed from there.
Only where the rules say so. The company pays UK Corporation Tax on its profits, and dividends reach you with no UK withholding; your home country may tax them as income, or treat the company as managed there. We run KYC checks on owners, file through Companies House, and banks report under CRS, so it stays correct.
