Company
Information
The USA LLC is not a
partnership or a corporation. It is a distinct
business entity that offers an alternative to partnerships
and corporations by combining the corporate advantages
of limited liability with the partnership advantage
of pass-through taxation. USA LLCs with non-resident
members and which conduct no business in the US
and which have no US-source income are not subject
to US federal income tax and are not required to
file a US income tax return. USA LLCs are popular
vehicles for conducting international business.

Filing of Articles of Organisation or Certificate
of Formation with the Secretary of State in the
preferred state of formation.
