Last week I had a community webinar to share with you my experiences registering two companies in the United States as a non-resident in Wyoming and Delaware.
Opening an online business or becoming a freelancer is exciting but also necessary to optimize it for our digital nomad lifestyle, and taxes, protect yourself from liability, and manage your finances better.
I shared five points and criteria that digital nomads and remote entrepreneurs should consider when opening an online business:
United States LLCs hit all 5 points.
One of the best things about registering a business in the US is that you do not need to be a citizen, resident, or have any visa. This means anyone from anywhere can do it. Another good reason is its reputation and investor attractiveness. This is what makes it one of the best choices for digital nomads, freelancers, and remote entrepreneurs.
What are the steps to register an online business in the United States?
1. File for incorporation
2. Apply for EIN (Business tax number)
3. Get a bank account
4. Start trading or apply for a merchant account
5. Make a business website, and email, and set up social media profile.
