$29 · AI-Native Company Formation
US Company Formation for International Founders
The world's best business address is a Delaware filing.
I'll do the filing with you: company type, name, registered agent and the state's paperwork.
Have you formed a company before?
I'll explain each choice as we go. For a solo software company, a Wyoming LLC is the usual low-cost choice. There's no board to run, and you don't need a US address or SSN.
What should it be called?
No trademark conflicts for Northwind Labs, LLC, and the domain is free. I've drafted your Articles of Organization and added your registered agent. Read it all before I send anything.
Submit it to the state?
Sent to the Wyoming Secretary of State. The state decides how long its review takes.
What it costs
The lowest total price we could find.
$29 to form, plus a registered agent at $79/year ($49 in Wyoming) and your state's filing fee.

What you get
What Lovie does for your company.
01 / Formation
LLC and C-Corp formation
Form an LLC or C-Corp in Wyoming, Delaware or any other state. Lovie prepares the documents and files them with the state. You read and approve everything first.
02 / Setup
A company you can use
Once the state approves it, your company legally exists. It can sign contracts and hire people. Founders outside the US do all of this remotely, with no SSN or US address.
03 / Agent
Registered agent
Every state requires one. It's the address that gets official mail for your company, and it goes on public records instead of your home address. We're your agent in your formation state for $79 a year ($49 in Wyoming), and we scan that mail to your dashboard.
04 / Compliance
Deadline reminders
Most states want a yearly report and fee. We remind you before each one is due, so you don't pay a late penalty.
05 / AI Tools

FAQ
Questions international founders actually ask.
Can I form a US company if I'm not a US citizen or resident?
Yes. There's no citizenship or residency requirement. Founders from Nigeria, India, Brazil, the UK, and every other country form Delaware entities regularly. No US address, phone number, or SSN required.
Delaware LLC or C-Corp — which is right for me?
If you plan to raise US venture capital or apply to YC, you need a Delaware C-Corp. For a bootstrapped or revenue-generating business, a Delaware LLC is simpler. Lovie asks about your goals and recommends the right one.
Can I open a US bank account without visiting the US?
Yes. Mercury and Relay both offer remote account opening for US-formed entities owned by non-US founders.
Will Stripe work for my US company if I'm based abroad?
Yes.
How is Lovie different from Stripe Atlas for international founders?
Stripe Atlas charges $500 upfront and adds $100/yr for registered agent after year one. State filing fees are paid separately, directly to your state.
Do I need a US address?
Every US LLC and C-Corp requires a registered agent with a US address — it's a legal requirement. Lovie is your registered agent and provides a Delaware address. You never need to rent an office.
Does having a US company mean I pay US taxes?
A US LLC owned entirely by non-US persons with no US-sourced income is generally not subject to US federal income tax. A C-Corp is subject to US corporate tax on US-sourced income. Consult an international CPA for your specific situation.
What does the Lovie plan include?
One flat price, charged once.
How long does formation take for an international founder?
Your filing is submitted as soon as you approve the documents. Delaware approves in 1–3 business days. IRS processing times vary, and international founders typically wait longer than domestic applicants.
