Frequently asked questions
Can a non-US resident form a Delaware LLC?
Yes. Non-US residents can form a Delaware LLC without a Social Security Number, US address, or US presence. You need a passport for identity verification, an EIN for IRS purposes, and a Delaware Registered Agent. Delewarellc forms Delaware LLCs for non-resident founders for $297 plus the $110 Delaware state fee.
What does a Delaware LLC cost?
Delaware LLC year-one costs are $110 state filing fee plus registered agent fees ($50-$179/year depending on provider) plus optional service fees. Delewarellc charges $297 plus the state fee for full formation including registered agent for Year 1, EIN application, Operating Agreement, and bank account applications.
How long does Delaware LLC formation take?
Standard Delaware LLC formation takes approximately 5-10 business days through the state portal. Expedited filing is available for $50-$1,000 above the standard fee for same-day or 24-hour processing. Delewarellc's full formation process including EIN and bank account applications takes 8-10 business days end to end.
Do I need a US bank account?
Most non-resident founders want a US business bank account to accept payments via Stripe and to deal with US clients smoothly. The LLC itself does not legally require a US account, but you cannot connect a non-US bank to Stripe for a US LLC. Delewarellc applies to 4-5 banks per customer to maximize the chance of approval.
What is IRS Form 5472 and who must file it?
Form 5472 is required annually from foreign-owned single-member US LLCs treated as disregarded entities. The penalty for not filing is $25,000 per occurrence. Form 5472 must be filed with pro forma Form 1120 by April 15 (extendable to October 15).
Do I need an ITIN to form a Delaware LLC?
No, you do not need an ITIN to form the LLC or get an EIN. An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is needed only if you personally must file a US tax return (Form 1040-NR) showing US-source income from the LLC. Many non-resident LLC owners never need an ITIN.
What is included in the $297 plus state fee?
The Delewarellc Delaware LLC bundle includes: Certificate of Formation filing, the $110 Delaware state fee, registered agent for Year 1, EIN application via Form SS-4, an Operating Agreement template, applications to 4-5 banks, WhatsApp support in 5 languages, and a Form 5472 awareness brief.
What happens after Year 1?
Year 2 onwards, you owe the Delaware $300 franchise tax (due June 1) and registered agent renewal (approximately $99 with Delewarellc, $50 with Harvard Business Services, more elsewhere). No mandatory Delewarellc subscription. We send free reminders so you do not miss deadlines.
