Most services file your paperwork and leave you with the hard parts. We hand you a complete, ready-to-operate company: formation, EIN, and every governance document you'll actually be asked for.
Not a half-finished setup that stalls at the bank.
A company that legally exists but can't open a bank account isn't a company — it's an expensive dead end. Here's where the "$0 LLC" route tends to break.
Without a US Social Security Number, most platforms hand you an IRS phone number and wish you luck. We obtain the EIN for you.
Operating agreements, ledgers, certificates, resolutions — the papers a bank or investor asks for are sold separately, or not at all.
The headline price isn't the real price. Add-ons stack up at checkout. We show you every number before you pay a cent.
Behind Foundly US is someone who forms US companies for a living — preparing state filings, securing EINs, and drafting the governance documents international founders actually need. This is the same work the big-name platforms charge a premium for, done by hand, with care.
That experience is the whole point. You're not handing your company to an anonymous form. You're working with someone who knows where formations go wrong for founders abroad — and makes sure yours doesn't.
Not sure which? An LLC suits most founders who want simplicity and a US presence. A C-corp suits those raising venture capital or issuing shares.
A clean, flexible US company — ideal for Stripe, US banking, and running an online business from abroad.

Same service fee whether you choose an LLC or a C-corp. Your price depends only on whether you have an SSN or ITIN — not on the entity type.
Three lines, nothing buried. Our fee is for our work. The other two we pass straight through to the state and the registered agent — at cost.
Your name, your state, and whether you want an LLC or a C-corp. A short, plain-language form.
We confirm the exact state and agent fees for your choice. You approve the total, then pay.
We submit to the state and obtain your EIN from the IRS — no SSN, no IRS phone queues for you.
Formation documents, EIN letter, and your full signed-ready governance set land in your inbox.
Yes. You don't need to be a US citizen or resident to own a US LLC or C-corp. This is exactly who Foundly US is built for — founders running businesses from outside the United States.
Yes. An EIN can be obtained without an SSN or ITIN, and we handle that process for you. It's the step most low-cost services leave you to figure out alone — and the reason the price differs slightly.
It depends on your business. Many international founders choose states with low fees and simple requirements, while others pick Delaware for raising venture capital. We'll walk you through the trade-offs so you can decide with confidence — the choice is always yours.
Every US company needs a registered agent with a physical address in its formation state. We can arrange one and pass the cost straight through to you, or you can bring your own and pay nothing extra here.
You pay securely online once you've seen and approved your full total. You never wire money to a personal account or share banking details with us — payment runs through a secure processor.
It depends on the state and the IRS, which set their own processing times. We move quickly on our side and keep you updated at each step. Some states offer paid expedited filing, which we can arrange.
Start with the basics. You'll see your complete, itemized price before you commit to anything.
