Formation is state-specific. Compare the operating location, financing plan and LLC or corporation structure. Research foreign qualification when operating in another state; compare recurring costs as well as formation fees.
File with the state
Prepare the name, agent, management structure and formation filing against the state checklist. A registered agent receives official documents; that does not itself establish bank eligibility. Retain approval records and check subsequent state reports.
EIN and tax preparation
EIN is a separate IRS process. Applicants with a principal place of business outside the US should check international channels and Form SS-4. Ask a tax professional about filing obligations rather than assuming no US revenue means no filing.

FAQ
