Our US Company Formation Service: What It Covers

US company registration requires more than filing state forms. You must align your entity structure with tax, liability, and immigration objectives. In our team's practice, we manage this entire sequence, handling structural decisions before filing and compliance duties afterward. We handle the details.

Our scope of work includes choosing the entity type, selecting the state, preparing Articles of Organization or Incorporation, appointing a registered agent, and securing an Employer Identification Number (EIN). We also draft the Operating Agreement, prepare corporate banking documents, and file Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) reports.

If you prefer to research the steps independently, our guide to starting a company in the USA details every requirement. We write this page for founders who want our attorneys to manage the setup.

The Right Entity: LLC or C-Corp?

Selecting the wrong entity increases tax burdens and complicates investor relations. Limited Liability Companies (LLC) provide flexible ownership and pass-through taxation, making them ideal for single founders or small partnerships. C-Corporations (C-Corp) suit businesses planning to issue shares, raise venture capital, and scale rapidly.

We do not use generic templates. Our attorneys analyze your business model, ownership structure, and funding timeline to determine the correct entity. During your consultation, we illustrate the tax and liability differences using concrete scenarios from your industry.

Strategic Guidance on State Selection

Delaware, Wyoming, and Florida attract many founders, but the optimal state depends on your operational footprint. Physical offices or local employees require registration in your home state. Remote founders must evaluate annual fees, privacy laws, and reporting requirements. Location dictates your strategy.

We analyze your physical presence to prevent double-registration fees and foreign qualification traps. Our guide on the best state to form an LLC compares state jurisdictions on cost, tax structures, and privacy rules.

We Run the Formation Process on Your Behalf

A single filing error delays your entire business launch. We manage the setup process from start to finish so you can focus on building your business.

  • Name check and formation documents: We verify name availability with state databases, draft your Articles of Organization or Incorporation, and file them directly.
  • Registered agent: We appoint a registered agent to receive service of process and official state notices, satisfying statutory mandates.
  • EIN tax number: We secure your federal employer identification number through the IRS EIN application channel, and coordinate Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) applications when required.
  • Bank account and payment setup: Our team compiles the corporate resolution and documentation package required by US banks to prevent account opening delays.

We monitor state processing times, track filing milestones, and resolve administrative bottlenecks. You will not have to submit any government paperwork yourself.

Not a Formation Company, but an Immigration Law Firm

Automated filing websites submit state forms and disappear. While a basic, single-member LLC might only need simple registration, complex structures require legal counsel. If your business involves partnership agreements, equity allocation, intellectual property rights, or visa strategies, filing forms is not enough. Errors cost money.

Yellow Law Group operates as a law firm combining corporate structure with immigration strategy. We explain when you need a lawyer, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), or a simple filing service, advising you only when legal counsel is necessary. We outline the corporate lifecycle in our 7-stage roadmap for foreign founders.

Company and Visa Integration: E-2, L-1, and EB-5

Incorporating a US business does not grant legal status or work authorization, despite what many marketing campaigns suggest. A properly structured corporate entity instead serves as the necessary foundation for securing investor and employment visas.

Aligning your corporate structure with immigration regulations from day one prevents costly restructuring later. In the files we manage, we integrate corporate setup with visa petitions. For Turkish founders investing capital, our E-2 investor visa service provides the necessary framework. If you are transferring an executive from a Turkish parent company, we coordinate our L-1 intracompany transfer service. For high-capital projects seeking permanent residency, we align your setup with our EB-5 investor visa service.

Post-Formation Legal Compliance and Support

State registration is just the first step. Under the Corporate Transparency Act enforced since 2024, most entities must file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report to avoid civil and criminal penalties. You must also manage annual state filings, franchise taxes, and internal corporate records.

Our representation continues after your company is active. Review reporting requirements in our Corporate Transparency Act guide, and study your immediate next steps in our guide on what to do after forming a US company. We remain available to draft commercial contracts, register trademarks, and provide corporate counsel.

Yellow Law Group advises Turkish business owners from our headquarters in Plano (Texas), and our offices in Chicago (Illinois), Irvine (California), Alpharetta (Georgia), and Fairfield (New Jersey). Our attorneys possess over 10 years of collective experience combining corporate law with federal immigration practice.

US Company Formation Service & Attorney • Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. As a foreign founder, you can form and own an LLC or C-Corp remotely without coming to the US. Our team runs the entire process online: formation documents, registered agent, EIN, and bank account preparation. To be clear: forming a company alone does not grant you residence or a visa; that is a separate process.

Our service covers entity type and state strategy, preparing and filing formation documents, appointing a registered agent, obtaining the EIN, preparing for bank account opening, drafting the Operating Agreement, and Corporate Transparency Act reporting compliance. Where needed, visa and immigration integration runs through the same team.

You can form a simple, single-founder LLC yourself with online tools, and we say so honestly. When partnership, share allocation, contracts, intellectual property, or immigration is involved, working with an attorney prevents later litigation and tax cost. We assess honestly whether you need us in a free initial consultation.

A formation company only handles registration. A CPA looks after the tax and accounting side. An attorney builds the structure for legal risk, contracts, and immigration. For a simple formation, a formation company may suffice; but if the structure will turn into a visa, partnership, or investment later, attorney management sets the right foundation from the start.

We form companies in all US states, with Delaware, Wyoming, and Florida among the most common. We determine which state fits you based on your operation and goals, not on familiar names. The right state differs for a fully remote founder versus a founder with a US office.

We make the decision together. We evaluate your business model, number of partners, and future funding plans. For a single founder or small partnership, an LLC is flexible; if you plan outside investment and share issuance, a C-Corp comes forward. Because the wrong choice has costly tax and investor consequences, we settle this decision at the start.

It depends on the state and entity type. Approval of formation documents ranges from a few business days to a few weeks in most states; obtaining the EIN and preparing the bank account can extend the timeline. After the first consultation, we give you a realistic timeline specific to your state.

The fee varies by the complexity of the formation and state filing fees. A simple formation versus a multi-partner or visa-integrated structure requires different budgets. State filing fees and the registered agent fee are official line items. After the initial consultation, we provide a clear quote with itemized costs; we do not add surprise hidden fees.

This is where we differ. We build the company structure at the same table as your immigration goal. E-2 for those starting a business with investment, L-1 for transferring an executive from an existing Turkish company, and EB-5 for high-capital permanent status, run integrated with company formation. We explain plainly that forming a company alone does not grant a visa, while the right structure forms the foundation.

Yes. We run the EIN application on your behalf; for foreign founders without a US Social Security number, we plan the required ITIN or alternative routes. We prepare the document set needed to open a bank account and clear the typical obstacles in advance.

Yes. We provide the registered agent service that is mandatory in most states; official and legal correspondence is tracked through this address. You do not need to deal with a separate provider; the process runs from a single source.

Yes, we do not leave you alone after formation. Corporate Transparency Act beneficial owner reporting, the Operating Agreement, annual reports, and state fee tracking are part of our service. The same team stays with you for contract architecture, trademark registration, and ongoing legal advisory needs.

As a general rule, your company's US-source income and structure determine the tax obligation; foreign-owned companies face information filings such as Form 5472. This is informational, not personal tax advice; we cover the detail of tax obligations in our formation guide and plan your personal situation in coordination with a CPA.

With our headquarters in Plano (Texas) and offices in Chicago, Irvine, Alpharetta, and Fairfield, we run company formation and immigration law under one roof. With over 10 years of collective experience, we manage the formation and visa process together without shuttling you between separate offices. With our 'we do not turn anyone away' approach, we build strategy to strengthen the structure even in difficult files.
