A General Overview
-
Company Name
The name chosen to establish a company in the United States must be unique and not misleadingly resemble other companies registered in Delaware. We can check that the company name you propose is appropriate. Limited Liability Company names end with ‘LLC’ or ‘L.L.C.’ and Trading Companies end with the suffix ‘Co’, ‘Corp’, or ‘Inc’. The full word may be used instead of the abbreviation. Using words, such as Bank, Mortgage, or Loan, requires approval from the Financial Regulation Department.
-
Company Headquarters
To establish a company in the United States, it is necessary to have a registered representative and a corporate headquarters where the Secretary of State and other official authorities can send legal documents. As a registered agent in Delaware, we can provide you with Registered Agent and U.S. Address services.
-
Shareholders
A single shareholder is required to establish a company in the United States and legal shareholders are permitted. S Corporations require a domestic shareholder although LLCs and C Corporations may reside anywhere. Shareholder registrations do not need to be submitted to the competent authorities, which means that the details of the shareholders are not publicly available.

Time of Process for Company Formation
The process of forming a company in the US can be completed in 5 business days after obtaining all the necessary documents and checking to see if the company name is available.

Accounting Requirements
Companies usually need to keep accounting records, but they can be kept anywhere in the world and there is no need to submit annual financial statements to the competent authorities. Companies are required to document their annual earnings when paying their filing fees.
