How to Start an LLC in the USA from Pakistan
Here’s the real, no-fluff, step-by-step guide to starting an LLC in the USA from Pakistan in 2025 — written by someone who’s walked the path.
✅ Step 1: Understand What a U.S. LLC Can Do for You
Before we dive into the “how,” let’s understand the “why.”
Forming a U.S. LLC as a non-resident gives you access to:
- ✔️ U.S. clients and platforms (Stripe, Amazon, etc.)
- ✔️ Global credibility (your Pakistani business might not cut it overseas)
- ✔️ Legal protection (separate your personal liability from business)
- ✔️ Simple structure (no complex tax setup for single-member LLCs)
You don’t need to be a U.S. citizen. You don’t need a U.S. visa. You just need the right tools — and this guide.
✅ Step 2: Choose the Best State for Your LLC
This part matters more than people think.
Some states charge high annual fees or have complex filing rules. Others — like Wyoming — are perfect for non-U.S. residents.
Best choice for Pakistani entrepreneurs:
Wyoming — here’s why:
- $100 one-time filing fee
- $60 annual report (due every year)
- No state income tax
- Strong privacy laws (you can stay anonymous)
- Remote-friendly — everything is online
Other options like Delaware and Florida are better for startups with U.S. investors or physical offices, but for online founders like us, Wyoming is gold.
✅ Step 3: Pick a Name for Your Business
You’ll need a name that:
- Ends with “LLC” or “Limited Liability Company”
- Isn’t already taken in your chosen state
- Ideally has a matching domain name (.com if possible)
You can use Wyoming’s name search tool to check if your name is available.
💡 Tip: Keep it short, unique, and future-ready.
✅ Step 4: Appoint a U.S. Registered Agent
This part is not optional. Every U.S. LLC needs a Registered Agent — a real person or company with a U.S. address who can receive legal and state documents on your behalf.
Since you’re in Pakistan, you obviously can’t do this yourself. That’s where Enterobiz comes in.
✔️ Our trusted U.S.-based partner serves as your official Registered Agent in all 50 states — and their address is valid for legal use.
If you don’t want to use your own personal address on public filings (for privacy), you can use our partner’s U.S. address, included with our package.
At Enterobiz, we provide you with a reliable U.S. Registered Agent and a business address through our partner — helping you protect your privacy and stay compliant. All included in our LLC service.See what’s included →
✅ Step 5: File the Articles of Organization
This is the official document that forms your LLC.
You’ll file it with the Secretary of State for your chosen state. If you use Enterobiz, we take care of the entire process for you.
Here’s what’s needed:
- LLC name
- Registered Agent info
- Business purpose (simple one-line description)
- Your contact address (can be your Pakistani address or use our U.S. address for privacy)
💡 Yes, you can use your Pakistani address if you’re okay with it being public. But most of our clients prefer using our U.S. address for full privacy.
✅ Step 6: Get an EIN (Employer Identification Number)
An EIN is like your business’s Social Security Number — required for:
- Filing taxes
- Getting paid on Stripe or PayPal
- Working with U.S. clients
- Opening business accounts
As a non-U.S. resident, you can’t apply online. You must fax a paper application (Form SS-4) to the IRS, and if done wrong, you can get rejected or wait for weeks.
✅ We handle EIN applications for both U.S. and non-U.S. residents.
📬 Delivery: within 24 hours.
Avoid the long IRS wait and confusing paperwork. We’ll handle your EIN application fast and correctly.Learn more about our EIN service →
✅ Step 7: Create an Operating Agreement (Even if You’re Solo)
An Operating Agreement isn’t legally required in most states, but it’s essential for:
- Structuring your business
- Proving ownership
- Preventing internal disputes (for multi-member LLCs)
- Looking professional when dealing with platforms like Stripe or banks
Even if you’re the only owner, it’s smart to have one.
🎁 We include a premium single-member Operating Agreement with every LLC formed through Enterobiz, at no extra cost.
✅ Step 8: Stay Compliant (Year After Year)
Forming your LLC is just the beginning — here’s what you must do every year:
- Annual Report: Wyoming charges $60/year. We remind you ahead of time.
- Registered Agent Renewal: After the first free year, our renewal is $165/year.
- IRS Forms: If you’re a non-resident with a single-member LLC, you must file Form 5472 + 1120, even if you made $0.
We keep you compliant with friendly reminders and clear guidance — no stress, no surprises.
✅ Step 9: Can You Do It Yourself?
Technically, yes. But here’s what usually happens:
- You get stuck on legal terms
- You mess up the EIN form and wait 5+ weeks
- You forget about compliance and get penalties
- You end up spending more time fixing mistakes
That’s why most smart founders use a reliable service to avoid delays, confusion, and stress.
