Setting Up a Company in the US
US company formation happens at state level rather than federal level; the state you choose determines the rules, the fees and the annual obligations. Applications are filed online.
The filing covers choosing the entity type, appointing a registered agent and submitting the formation documents to the relevant state authority. After approval, the EIN application completes the federal tax registration.
Once registered, the company becomes a legal entity: it can open a bank account, collect payments in dollars and start trading internationally. Choosing the right state and structure also shapes the tax side of the process.
