Wyoming LLC overview
A Wyoming LLC is one of the most popular choices for non-resident founders, freelancers and small business owners worldwide. Wyoming pioneered the modern LLC in 1977 and has spent decades refining its statutes to be simple, private and business-friendly. You get strong member privacy, no state income tax on the LLC, low ongoing fees and a fast, fully online filing process. Most international founders form a Wyoming LLC to accept payments through Stripe or PayPal, sell digital products and services, run an e-commerce or SaaS business, or hold US assets. All without ever needing to travel to the United States.
