For establishing a C-Corporation, we recommend considering the state of Wyoming. Wyoming offers the most favorable tax climate and closed ownership registries at the state level. The corporate and individual income tax rate is 0%, and the sales tax rate is 4%. For LLCs, Florida and Wyoming are ideal. These states are suitable for seamless company registration by non-U.S. residents, with low registration and maintenance costs. Additionally, New Mexico is an attractive option. It combines all the benefits for non-U.S. resident entrepreneurs working under dropshipping or wholesale business models.

The U.S. does not have offshore zones, but there are states that do not impose income taxes. The U.S. tax system operates on several levels: federal, state, and local taxes. For example, if a corporation is registered in states such as Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, or Wyoming (or a C-Corp in Washington, Nevada, Wyoming, Texas, or South Dakota), no state income tax (Income Tax) is required for the company.

The lowest taxes in the U.S. are in Wyoming and Florida. For example, it's better to open a C-Corporation in Wyoming and an LLC in Florida.

Company registration is done entirely online, and you don't need to travel to the U.S. to open a company from Ukraine or other countries. To register, simply submit an application on the website and provide the required documents. The entire registration process takes 2 to 5 business days and is handled by our certified specialists.

At the state level, registries are closed in Wyoming and Delaware.

• Limited liability for shareholders within the invested capital.

• Owners (shareholders) can elect directors to manage the business on their behalf.
• This structure is highly favored by investors, making it easier to attract capital for the business.

• Double taxation of income: C-Corp earnings are taxed first at the corporate level. Dividends paid to shareholders are then taxed again at the individual level.
• Increased oversight and formalities: Due to the double taxation structure, there is greater scrutiny and compliance requirements from regulatory authorities.

• Recognized as a legal business entity: This allows access to online platforms available exclusively to U.S. legal entities.
• Separate entity: Operates independently from its owners and can be managed either by the owners or hired employees.
• Simplified taxation system: Avoids double taxation as in a C-Corp; members pay taxes at the individual level.
• Limited liability: Members are only liable for the amount of their personal investment in the company.

• Changes in membership or ownership shares: Any changes require amendments to the foundational documents, which can involve additional administrative work.
• State-specific taxation and regulations: Each state has its own tax system and financial liability rules for LLCs, which may add complexity to compliance.
