According to American law, a company must have a mailing address in the state of registration, where it can accept letters with a receipt of receipt. To do this, you will need an office and a person with such authority or a Registered Office.
If you are creating a business remotely, you can delegate the responsibility of receiving correspondence to an agent company – Registered Agent. The cost of such a service will be up to $ 50 per year.
You can indicate your personal address to the registered agent. Next, you need to apply for opening in the selected state. This can be, as we said above, for example, a C-Corp or LLC. To register an LLC, the owner’s data is indicated, for a C-Corp – the incorporator’s data, that is, the person who applies for company registration. The list of data does not indicate citizenship, only the address.
The next step after registration is to notify the tax office (IRS), select the optimal tax regime and obtain a Tax ID – EIN number.
Next, you will need to open a bank account in one of the US banks. This can be done, including by citizens of the Russian Federation. An account in an American bank will be needed for interaction with the tax authorities, that is, paying taxes, processing tax refunds, etc.
