US Company Incorporation - A Quick Overview

USA boasts cultural diversity as well as huge numbers of people speaking English, hence a conducive environment for international companies. Its open markets render the establishment of a company there a good fortune, particularly the advantage of paying taxes to augment your business.

It is easy to incorporate a business in the US and has immense potential, as the economy of the US is 14 times that of India. It is a suitable place for Indian companies to expand. Non-residents also take the same steps as residents in starting a business, with some additional legal requirements.

Why Is US Company Registration Beneficial For Indians?

US has well-defined business laws and a few of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world, which are huge boons for companies. But laws in each State are different, so if your company is largely based in one state, you might require a Foreign Qualification Certificate.

Those states that are most favorable from the tax and business law point of view include Delaware, Wyoming, and Nevada. Delaware, for instance, is especially popular, with no state sales tax and a highly favorable franchise tax rate for small businesses. Also, non-residents are exempt from paying corporate income tax individually.

Difference Between LLC And C-Corp

• Ownership:

  • LLC: Owned by members, flexible management.

  • C-Corp: Owned by shareholders, formal structure with a board.

• Taxation:

  • LLC: No corporate tax, only personal tax (pass-through).

  • C-Corp: Double taxation—corporate and shareholder levels.

• Raising Capital:

  • LLC: Limited options.

  • C-Corp: Easier to raise funds by selling shares.

• Management:

  • LLC: Flexible, less formal.
