The foundation

Why a US LLC is the foundation of selling on Amazon USA

If you sell on Amazon USA, Walmart, or eBay from India, almost every problem eventually traces back to one question: do you have a legitimate US business entity behind your account?

An LLC separates you from the business, gives you a tax identity, and unlocks the things Amazon and US banks require, payouts, suppliers, Brand Registry, and clean taxes.

“The LLC is the key that unlocks the bank account, the Amazon account, and the supplier relationships, in that order.”

You don't need a visa, an SSN, or a US address. A registered agent, an EIN, and a US bank account are enough.

Texas vs Wyoming vs Delaware

Which state should you form in?

The honest answer depends on whether you hold inventory in the US. We'll tell you plainly if you're about to pay for a benefit you'll never use.

Texas

$0 franchise tax under ~$2.47M
  • No state income tax
  • Aligns with a US warehouse & inventory
  • Entity + stock + compliance in one state
  • Best if you hold US inventory

Wyoming

~$60 / year
  • Cheapest to maintain
  • Strong owner privacy
  • No operational footprint
  • Best if you hold no US stock

Delaware

~$300 / year
  • Built for raising investment
  • Higher annual franchise tax
  • No edge for product sellers
  • Best if you'll raise capital

The one filing you must never miss

A foreign-owned single-member LLC must file Form 1120 + Form 5472 every year, even with zero US tax due. The penalty for missing it starts at $25,000. We manage this, your BOI report, and your state filing on an ongoing basis so your entity always stays compliant.

Common questions

The things sellers ask first

Do I need an SSN to get an EIN?+

No. We file IRS Form SS-4 by fax as a foreign founder. EIN typically arrives in 10-14 business days. Free service from us, included in the $1,499.

Why Texas?+

Texas has no state income tax on LLCs, low annual franchise fees, and is where our warehouse operates. Most Indian sellers we work with set up in TX. If you prefer Wyoming or Delaware for privacy or other reasons, we can do that for $200 extra.

Do I need to come to the US?+

No. 100% remote. We sign the formation documents on your behalf as registered agent. EIN, bank account, address, all done without you flying anywhere.

How long does the full process take?+

Texas LLC: 3-5 business days. EIN: 10-14 business days. US bank account: 5-7 days after EIN. Total: about 3 weeks end-to-end.

Which bank do you open?+

We work with Mercury and Relay Financial. Both are online banks built for non-resident founders. Wire from India works smoothly. No physical visit needed.

What ongoing costs are there?+

Texas franchise tax (only after $1.23M revenue), annual federal Form 1120 or 1065, BOI report (one-time), state report. We handle filings for $99 per quarter or roll it into the monthly plan.

Beyond the paperwork

What the $1,499 actually covers

Formation is the easy part. The value is everything around it that keeps a non-resident company usable and compliant.

Formation, complete

LLC filing, EIN from the IRS, operating agreement, and a registered agent for year one. Filed correctly for non-resident owners the first time, no SSN needed.

Banking that actually opens

We prepare the exact document set US fintech banks ask non-residents for and guide the application, so your business account opens remotely without a US visit.

Staying compliant after

Annual report deadlines, BOI reporting, and the W-8/W-9 forms marketplaces demand: we tell you what is due, when, and file the recurring pieces with you.

Ready to become a US business?

One package, about three weeks, and you're operational on Amazon USA, formed, banked, and compliant, all from India.
