United States of America Company Formation Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

1. How do I get a US business address?

There are a few different ways to get a US business address:

  • Rent a physical office space: This option involves renting a physical office space in the US, which can be used as your business's official address. This is a good option if you need a physical location for your business, such as a retail store or a warehouse.
  • Use a virtual office service: A virtual office service allows you to use a professional business address as your official business address, even if you don't have a physical office space. This option typically includes mail and package handling services, as well as access to conference rooms and other amenities on an as-needed basis.
  • Use a residential address: If you are just starting out or don't need a physical location for your business, you may be able to use your own residential address as your business's official address. This option is generally only suitable for businesses that do not have a high volume of mail or packages and do not receive customers at their addresses.

It is important to note that different states have different requirements for using a residential address as a business address. Some states may require you to register your business address with the state or local government or may have other requirements that you need to follow. It is a good idea to contact us regarding the specific requirements for your situation and to get advice from us - a professional corporate service provider.

2. Can a Canadian citizen start a business in the US?

Yes, starting business in the US as a Canadian is absolutely possible. However, there are a few things to consider before doing so. First, you will need to obtain the necessary visas and permits to work in the US. This may include obtaining a work visa, such as an H-1B visa, or obtaining a green card.

In addition to obtaining the necessary visas and permits, you will also need to familiarize yourself with the business laws and regulations in the state where you plan to start your business. This may include obtaining any necessary licenses or permits, and following any requirements for registering your business.

It is also a good idea to seek the advice of a lawyer or other professional to ensure that you are fully complying with all applicable laws and regulations. This can help avoid any potential legal issues down the road when starting business in the US as a Canadian.

3. How are US LLCs taxed in Canada?

US LLCs (Limited Liability Companies) are generally not taxed as entities in Canada. Instead, their profits or losses are passed through to their owners or members, who are then required to report the income on their personal tax returns in Canada. This is known as "flow-through" taxation.

If the LLC has a permanent establishment (PE) in Canada, it may be subject to Canadian corporate income tax on the portion of its profits that are attributed to the PE. A PE is generally defined as a fixed place of business through which the business of an enterprise is carried on, such as a branch, an office, or a factory.

If the LLC is conducting business in Canada through a PE, it may also be required to register for and charge Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) on its taxable supplies of goods and services made in Canada.

It's important to note that the tax treatment of an LLC in Canada may depend on the specific circumstances of the business and the nature of its activities in Canada. It's advisable to seek the guidance of a tax professional to determine the tax implications of your LLC's activities in Canada.

4. How many types of business are there in the USA?

There are several types of business in USA that a company can choose from, each with its own set of characteristics and tax implications. The most common types of business in USA are:

  1. Sole proprietorship: A sole proprietorship is a business owned and operated by a single individual. It is the simplest and most common form of business structure.
  2. Partnership: A partnership is a business owned and operated by two or more individuals. There are several types of partnerships, including general partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships.
  3. Corporation: A corporation is a legal entity that is separate and distinct from its owners. It can be either a C corporation or an S corporation.
  4. Limited liability company (LLC): An LLC is a hybrid business structure that combines the liability protection of a corporation with the tax benefits of a partnership.
  5. Cooperative: A cooperative is a business owned and operated by a group of individuals for their mutual benefit.

It's important to note that the type of business in USA you choose will depend on the specific needs and circumstances of your business. It's advisable to seek the guidance of a business lawyer or accountant to determine the best business structure for your company.

5. Can I open a company in the USA with a tourist visa?

You cannot perform any activities related to work in the U.S while still on the tourist visa. If you are an entrepreneur and have no other source of income then it is not possible to open a company in the USA. Therefore, you are not allowed to get any loan from banks or financial institutions to start your own business.

However, your tourist visa can support you to work in the US if you have relations in here like your family, mother, father, brother, or sister are American.

Once you have decided on opening a company in this country, you need to register it as an LLC or 5 Corp before you leave the USA. 

Lately, setting up with all the legal rules is not possible for an entrepreneur with a tourist visa.

6. What visa is required to start a business in the USA?

You need to own an E-2 visa to start a business in the USA.

An E-2 Visa is a Visa option for business owners who want to start a company in the United States and develop and direct its operations. Although an E-2 Visa allows a person to live in the United States indefinitely, it is a non-immigrant visa, which means it does not lead to a green card. To qualify for this Visa, you must either start a business or buy a business that you intend to run, and the investment amount is determined by the type of business you start. For example, if you want to start a consulting firm, you can start with as little as $50,000.

The required investment amount is much higher if you start a manufacturing plant. In addition to the E-2 Visa's unlimited duration (as long as you continue to run the business) and potentially low investment amount, this Visa allows an Investor's spouse and children to join them in the United States, and the spouse can work in any field.
