USA & US CORPORATIONS
The United States of America is a Federation of 50 States.
A federation of
50 independents States, with a Governor, a Parliament and above all, different legislation, all joined together under a central authority
: the President of the USA.
Depending on the State, the tax system is high or low.
Depending on the State, management of a company can be limited with only one executive, whereas in others, heavy management is required.
Lastly, some States accept non resident status (with tax advantages), some refuse it.
We selected States where non resident status is possible, the tax system is low, with few or no administrative formalities and where the same person can be shareholder and manager.

They are :
- DELAWARE
- FLORIDA
- NEVADA
- WYOMING
As we are based on the Eastern coast, we prioritise the States in this part of the USA (proximity of our Services, time difference) : DELAWARE and FLORIDA.
They propose almost the same advantages and management regulations.
On the other hand, it is necessary to remember that to benefit from non resident status the company must not run any business in the State of Incorporation.
When examining your requirements, the State of registration
will be an important point to be taken into account, (e.g. if you should wish to physically relocate with
resident status).
None of the US States of the USA is considered as a "tax heaven" or figures in the OCED's list as such.
Having your
company incorporated in the USA is your guarantee not to be suspected of running a dubious business. On the contrary, you will benefit from the "aura" linked to the first economic power of the world : the country of
business, the dollar and liberalism.
A US corporate combines the benefits of tax heavens with independence from Europe since decisions taken in Europe have no influence there.
As our offices are based there, we are perfectly placed to offer our skills and competence in the study and follow up of your project.
Of course, if in a
particular case, it would be better to register a company or a holding in a country out of the USA, we could do this with the
co-operation of one of our correspondents.
We would act only as intermediary because nobody can have the knowledge required to register companies in several different countries each with different legislation.
We would like to draw you attention to the practices of certain agencies offering their services all around the world from DELAWARE to The Caribbean, passing throught Luxembourg or Hong Kong.
Unless they know everything and have agencies throughout all these countries, they cannot say they are real Consultants and are able to register companies by themselves.
They are just intermediaries, without any specific abilities.
We are Americans.
We know the US corporation system inside out.
This is the only thing we do, so :
And this, therefore, is the solution we recommend.
There are two types of companies: LLC and CORPORATE (close or open)
LLC being simplified form of company, is more suitable for small businesses (individual firms, craftsman, traders). Since it is unincorporated, it is more difficult to use out of the USA (no incorporation certificate, no bylaws, no shares).
Except particular cases, we recommend the CORPORATE, but we can form LLC if necessary.
