01Our Methodology
Our Methodology
How Skill Zone Sets Up Your US LLC
A US LLC that works for e-commerce is not just a filing — it is six disciplines executed together: state selection, formation, tax registration, banking, marketplace setup and ongoing compliance. Here is how we run each.
State Selection & Strategy
Every project starts with state selection guidance — Wyoming, Delaware, New Mexico or your home state. We weigh filing fees, annual costs, anonymity, banking access and marketplace compatibility. Foreign-owned LLCs get extra attention to tax treaty implications and 1120-F obligations.
Formation & Filing
LLC registration with the chosen state — Articles of Organization, registered US business address, and registered agent. We handle the filing end-to-end so you receive the formation documents without dealing with the state portal yourself.
EIN, Operating Agreement & Resale Certificate
Platinum and Elite include EIN registration (IRS Federal Tax ID), Operating Agreement drafting and resale certificate filing for sales-tax exemption on inventory purchases. Plus professional webmail setup so your business has a real email presence from day one.
Virtual Banking & Domain
Elite includes virtual bank account setup (Payoneer, Wise or Mercury depending on profile) plus business domain and premium webmail. Together this gives you a fully operational US business stack — formation, EIN, bank, domain and email all configured.
Marketplace Account Setup
Elite includes full marketplace account setup — Amazon, Walmart, eBay and TikTok Shop — with seller verification assistance. Plus wholesale website setup for B2B operations. Everything wired together so you can start selling the moment formation completes.
Compliance & Renewals
Annual reports, franchise tax filings and state renewals — handled through our Tax Services retainer post-formation so your LLC never lapses or gets dissolved for missed filings. Compliance is a marathon, not a one-time event.
02Plans & Pricing
US LLC Formation for E-Commerce Brands
All 50 US states supported. Pricing varies based on state filing fees and business requirements — book a free call for a tailored quote.
Starter
Business Foundation — the essential LLC formation package.
All 50 states. We provide state selection guidance during onboarding — Wyoming, Delaware and New Mexico are popular for anonymity and low fees; your home state may make more sense if you have a physical presence. Foreign-owned LLCs typically benefit from Wyoming or Delaware for banking access and treaty considerations.
Do I need to be a US citizen?
No. We work with foreign-owned LLCs regularly — non-US founders from Pakistan, UK, UAE, EU and many other countries. Foreign-owned single-member LLCs have specific IRS obligations (Form 5472, 1120) which we cover in onboarding so you stay compliant from day one.
How long does LLC formation take?
State filing typically takes 1-7 business days depending on the state and filing method. EIN takes 1-5 days for US residents and 4-6 weeks for foreign owners (without SSN). Full Elite end-to-end setup including marketplace and bank typically completes in 3-6 weeks.
Why is pricing custom?
State filing fees vary substantially — from $50 in some states to $300+ in others. Annual franchise tax obligations also vary. Foreign-owned LLCs need additional support (ITIN, ITIN-W7, foreign disregarded entity filings). Custom pricing keeps quotes honest rather than hiding state fees behind an "all-inclusive" sticker price.
Do you handle annual compliance and renewals?
Yes — through our Tax Services retainer. LLCs require annual reports, franchise tax filings (in some states) and state renewals. Missed filings can result in administrative dissolution. Compliance is handled separately as an ongoing service so your LLC remains in good standing.
Do you set up the Amazon, Walmart and other seller accounts too?
Yes — included in Elite. We set up Amazon, Walmart, eBay and TikTok Shop seller accounts and provide seller verification assistance. Combined with EIN, virtual bank and business address, this gives you a fully operational e-commerce business from a single engagement.
Can I get a US bank account as a non-resident?
Yes — through virtual banks like Mercury, Wise and Payoneer, which serve foreign-owned US LLCs. Traditional US bank accounts (Chase, Bank of America) typically require in-person visits with the US, so virtual banks are the practical solution for most non-US founders. Elite includes virtual bank setup support.
What about taxes once the LLC is formed?
Tax obligations depend on residency, structure and revenue. Single-member LLCs are disregarded entities for US tax by default; multi-member LLCs default to partnership treatment; both can elect S-Corp or C-Corp status. Our Tax Services team handles annual filings and sales-tax registrations — quoted separately based on your specific situation.
