Why Freedom Formation

Why more than a filing-only service?

Getting an LLC registered is cheap. Whether it actually works is decided afterwards: at the bank, at the payment provider and with the first IRS filing.

Formation and EIN

With us: We file and track every step until the EIN is issued

Documents for banks

If you do it yourself: Check yourself that articles, EIN letter and address match

With us: One consistent document set, the way banks usually ask for it

Bank and payment providers

Bank Access Check

Which US account fits your country?

Before you spend anything on a company: find out which bank and payment routes are realistic for your nationality, residence and business.

Questions founders ask first

Do I have to live in the US or travel there?

No. Forming the company and getting its EIN works from abroad. Some banks have their own requirements; we tell you which before you apply.

How long does it take?

No one can honestly promise you a fixed timeline. The state and the IRS work at their own pace. We track every step and tell you where your filing stands.

Will I get a US bank account?

We prepare the application with you and tell you which banks realistically accept your case. The bank decides. Anyone who promises you an account cannot keep that promise.

Do I pay tax in the US?

That depends on what the company does. The yearly Form 5472 filing is due either way, and your home-country taxes stay. We work with a partner tax firm for the US filings.

I already have a US LLC. Can you help?

Yes. The Tax package covers the yearly federal filing, the Renewal package covers agent and address. For banking, payments and growth we advise you under US Market Access, with a fixed-price offer after a free call.
