# Wyoming LLC Formation from India

> Wyoming is popular with non-resident founders because an LLC costs about $100 to form, the annual report fee starts at $60, there is no state income tax, and member names aren't published in the formation filing. You form it through a Wyoming registered agent, then get an EIN and bank account. The annual report is due on the first day of the anniversary month, and a foreign-owned single-member LLC still files Form 5472 with the IRS.

Practice: US Company Registration — https://www.industax.com/services/us-company-registration/

For freelancers, agencies and small SaaS businesses that sell to US customers but don't plan to raise venture capital, Wyoming keeps the US entity's fixed costs low.

We form the LLC, prepare the operating agreement, obtain the EIN, and run the annual report, registered agent renewal and IRS filings.

## FAQs

### Does Wyoming tax my LLC's income?

Wyoming has no state income tax. Federal tax depends on whether the LLC has US effectively connected income, and the owner is taxed in their home country.

### Can I raise venture capital in a Wyoming LLC?

Most venture investors prefer a Delaware C corporation. A Wyoming LLC can be converted later, but planning for funding from the start avoids conversion costs.

### What happens if the annual report is missed?

The LLC can be administratively dissolved; reinstatement requires filing the overdue reports and fees.
