USA · LLC & INC INCORPORATION
MOSTAR handles US company formation, ongoing compliance, and tax advisory. Incorporation from $1,200. Monthly maintenance $350. Tax advisory from $150/hr or fixed fee.
Why incorporate in the USA
A US entity unlocks access to American payment processors, investors, and business banking — key for SaaS founders, e-commerce operators, and anyone serving US customers or raising US venture capital.
Access to US payments
Stripe, Brex
A US LLC or C-Corp enables access to Stripe, Brex, Mercury, and other US-first payment processors unavailable for foreign entities.
Venture capital readiness
C-Corp preferred
US venture capital investors almost universally require a Delaware C-Corp. The standard structure for institutional VC and US IPO preparation.
LLC pass-through taxation
No double tax
A US LLC avoids double taxation — profits flow directly to members' personal returns. Ideal for operational businesses and international tax planning.
No US residency required
100%
Foreign nationals can form and own US LLCs and C-Corps without US citizenship or residency. Entire formation process is remote.
Delaware advantage
Most popular
Delaware has well-established corporate law, a dedicated Court of Chancery for business disputes, and is the preferred state for startups and international founders.
US credibility
Global trust
A US entity signals credibility to global customers, partners, and investors across all major markets.
