Community Answer

Yes, you can form an LLC in a different state than where you live, especially for online businesses. However, you may need to register as a foreign LLC in your home state if you have significant operations there.

Question

Can a non-U.S. citizen or non-resident open a business bank account in the U.S.?

Community Answer

It depends on the bank and your business setup. You can go in person to a U.S. bank, which is the most reliable method but requires travel to the U.S. You'll need a U.S. LLC or Corporation, an EIN from the IRS, company formation documents, a passport and secondary ID, and a U.S. address. Some platforms may also require a U.S. address or a U.S.-based co-founder.

Can I form a business without being a U.S. citizen?

Community Answer

Yes. You can form an LLC or a C Corporation without U.S. citizenship or residency. You will need to choose a state for registration, appoint a registered agent in that state, and obtain an EIN for tax purposes.
