Often Asked Questions

What Is An LLC? And What Do I Need An LLC For?

An LLC (Limited Liability Company) is a U.S. business structure that separates your personal assets (home, car, savings) from business debts and lawsuits.
You need an LLC to:
look more professional, open U.S. bank/payment accounts, sign contracts and wholesale accounts, bring on partners, and keep business finances separate. Works well for online services and digital products, too.

What Is The Difference Between LLC and LTD?

Both offer limited liability, but they’re used in different countries and taxed differently.

  • LLC (U.S.) – Flexible U.S. entity. Owners are “members” , popular for e-commerce and freelancers.
  • LTD (UK/Canada & others) – A company limited by shares. Owners are “shareholders,” run by directors. Profits are taxed at the company level (corporation tax); owners pay tax again on dividends. More formal reporting.

Bottom line: LLC = U.S., flexible taxes/maintenance. LTD = non-U.S. company with corporate tax and stricter filings.

How Do I Form The LLC Using A Professional Service Online?

Using an online LLC service is a fast, done-for-you option. Here’s how it works:

  1. Pick a state & plan (they show fees up front).
  2. Enter your LLC details (name, business address, owners/managers).
  3. Registered Agent is included or added (required U.S. address).
  4. They file Articles of Organization with the state.
  5. They can get your EIN from the IRS (add-on or DIY)
  6. You’ll get your approved documents by email; then open a bank account.

Timing & cost: varies by state and plan; basic filings often a few days (rush options available).

Non-U.S. owners: allowed—no SSN needed

What Is The Annual Report That Must Be Filed In The State?

An annual report (sometimes called a periodic or biennial report) is a quick update you file with your state to confirm your LLC’s info—business address, Registered Agent, owners/managers, and contact details—and pay the state fee.

  • Who files? Almost every LLC (requirements vary by state).
  • When & cost? Varies by state (e.g., due by your formation anniversary or a set date; fees can range $0–$400+).
  • How to file? Online or Mail to your Secretary of State site—look up your LLC, review/update info, sign, and pay.
  • Why it matters? Missing it can trigger late fees or even administrative dissolution.

What Is An EIN? And What Do I Need An EIN For?

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is your business’s tax ID issued by the IRS—like an SSN but for a company.

What it’s used for:

  • Open U.S. bank/fintech accounts (Relay, Wise, etc...)
  • Set up payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, Amazon, Etsy)
  • File federal/state taxes.
  • Apply for licenses/permits and some wholesale accounts

Non-U.S. owners: You can get an EIN without an SSN
