Which state should you form your LLC in? You can register in any of the 50 states, and the best choice depends on your business model. Here is a clear comparison of the four most popular options for non-residents.
Wyoming — best for most online businesses
Low formation and annual fees, strong owner privacy, no state income tax, and a simple system. Usually the most cost-effective choice for online businesses.
Delaware — best for raising investment
The gold standard for startups that plan to raise venture capital or issue shares. Higher fees and a franchise tax, so it is best when you need investor credibility.
Florida — best for US-facing operations
No state income tax, a huge market, and convenient if you have customers or operations in the southeastern US.
Texas — best for larger operations
No personal state income tax and a massive economy; suits businesses with real US presence, though a margin tax applies above a revenue threshold.
So which should you choose?
For most non-resident online businesses, Wyoming wins on cost and simplicity. Choose Delaware if you will raise funding, and Florida or Texas if you have ties to those markets. Not sure? We will recommend the best state for your situation.
