1. Choose Which Type of Business Entity to Form:
Corporation or LLC
If any of the owners of the company (called
"Shareholders" for Corporations and "Members" for LLC's)
are not US Citizens, then you have the option of either forming a Corporation
(also called a "C-Corporation" or "Regular Corporation") or
an LLC. There's another entity type called an "S-Corporation" but
that entity requires all shareholders to be US Citizens.
There is no restriction on the number of owners
for a US Corporation or LLC, which country the owners are from or whether they
are individuals or other companies (foreign or domestic corporations, LLC's,
etc.). However, your home country may have restrictions on which type of US
company may operate in that country so it's important you consult your local
laws and if necessary contact an attorney familiar with your situation and US
law if you are unsure of local requirements.
For detailed information on a Corporation vs. an
LLC, please visit "Which Type of Business Entity to Choose" which
gives more information on each type of company, and the advantages of each.
