Can a non-US citizen start an LLC in the US? The answer to the question is a resounding Yes! 🎉

Let’s go over how:

What started as a thread between me and Parshwa Mehta from doola inspired me to write a comprehensive guide to what’s required to launch an LLC and how doola can help simplify the process.

Required documents: 📄

✅ Bank statements for accounts relating to the business.

✅ Credit card statements for accounts relating to the business.

✅ Financial statements or records that were prepared by your bookkeeper.

✅ Receipts for any expenses claimed that are above $75.

✅ Listings or details for any assets that the business may own

✅ Invoices on sales of items, as well as some internal methods of tracking the cost of goods sold. The above records should be maintained for at least 3 years after the date of filing your original tax return, or 2 years from the date of paying your tax. For employment tax records, if any, you must retain records related to employment taxes for 4 years.

What doola does:

🏢 Forms your company – All you need to do is sign up with your company name, personal address, and email. No documents are required!

📇 EIN Application – they work on registering you for an EIN and apply for a Social Security Number on your behalf.

💰 Centralize business finances – you can categorize transactions, customize invoices, maximize tax deductions, and pull and send money from one dashboard.

⚖️ Stay compliant – using doola Books, their Tax Package, doola assures your business stays compliant and simplified any financial management.

I’ve personally registered more than a few LLC-s through doola as a non-US citizen. The ability to conduct business in the US while not being there physically is an opportunity that should not be missed.
