Your LLC questions, answered
You can appoint a manager if you wish, but this doesn't exempt the real owner from appearing on IRS filings. Using nominees to conceal company ownership in the U.S. is a federal crime. At Arbi Capital, we do not provide nominee management or front-person services.
It has no impact on your LLC. It's an American company subject exclusively to U.S. law. It's the most effective option if your goal is to optimize your tax burden within the legal framework.
Yes. Every entity formed in the U.S. must complete the BOIR report according to established deadlines. Companies registered from 2024 have 90 days from state approval. Non-compliance carries $500/day fines and potential criminal penalties. At Arbi Capital, we handle this filing for you.
Not at all. The entire process is handled remotely: from LLC formation and EIN application to bank account opening. You don't need to travel at any point.
Even without activity, you must comply with annual reporting obligations (Forms 1120 and 5472). We advise you to always stay current with your tax responsibilities, regardless of your revenue volume.
Yes. Your LLC allows you to invest in financial markets and cryptocurrencies, channeling profits through your corporate bank account. These are fully legal activities in the U.S. We assist with opening Interactive Brokers and Kraken accounts.
A Foreign Owned LLC doesn't pay U.S. taxes if it meets three conditions: no U.S. partners, no physical presence, and no U.S. employees. Regarding your home country, it depends on your tax residency — we guide you to make the right decisions.
It's not mandatory, but recommended for corporate image and certain bank account openings. Our Advanced plan includes an American web domain, corporate site, and professional email linked to your LLC.
An LLC can conduct virtually any legal activity: e-commerce, consulting, digital services, investments, trading, dropshipping, software development, real estate, and more. Only certain regulated activities (like banking or insurance) require additional licenses.
Yes. Your American LLC can issue invoices to clients in any country. As a U.S. entity, invoices don't carry European VAT. We advise on the tax implications in your country of residence.
The standard IRS timeline for non-resident owners is 45-60 days via mail (Form SS-4). There's no official expedited process for Foreign Owned LLCs. Be wary of anyone promising shorter timelines — at Arbi Capital, we're transparent about real timeframes.
Major commercial banks generally require physical presence for business account opening. That's why we work with specialized fintech institutions (Mercury, Wise, Relay, Revolut) that allow 100% remote opening with guaranteed approval.
A single-member Foreign Owned LLC must file Forms 1120 (corporate tax return) and 5472 (related party transactions). The deadline is April 15 each year. We offer accounting and filing services so you don't have to worry about anything.
An LLC offers tax flexibility (pass-through taxation), asset protection, and fewer administrative formalities than a Corporation. For most international entrepreneurs, an LLC is the optimal structure. We analyze your specific case before recommending one over the other.
Yes. If we fail to form your LLC within 60 days of receiving all verified documentation, due to an error on our part, we refund 100% of the amount paid. No questions, no justifications.
We accept bank transfer, credit/debit card, and cryptocurrency. Payment is made in full before the formation process begins.
Yes. Beyond formation, we offer an annual accounting and filing service that includes preparation and submission of mandatory forms (1120, 5472), as well as registered agent renewal and postal address maintenance.
