Can I do this from the United Kingdom without traveling to the US?
Yes. Rai Rai focuses on the path that lets non-resident founders in the United Kingdom complete us company formation remotely.
Do I need to travel to the US or have an SSN?
A non-resident may be able to form a US company and apply for an EIN without a US Social Security Number. The exact documents, process, and need for travel depend on the entity, authorities, providers, and your circumstances.
Which state should I incorporate in?
The right state depends on ownership, funding plans, operating footprint, fees, reporting duties, and tax advice. We compare the practical options and coordinate with licensed advisors when legal or tax judgment is required.
What ongoing filings will I have?
Foreign-owned US entities may have federal information returns, tax filings, registered-agent duties, and state reports. The requirements depend on the entity and activity, so a qualified tax professional should confirm the filing calendar for your structure.
How long does it take to form a US LLC?
Timing varies by state, filing method, IRS processing, document quality, and third-party reviews. We provide a current estimate after reviewing your situation and keep you updated as each dependency moves.
How much does it cost?
Government, registered-agent, professional, and service fees vary by state and scope. You receive a written, fixed service quote and a breakdown of known third-party costs before deciding whether to proceed.
How does Rai Rai work — is it a SaaS tool?
No. We're an execution partner. We own the operational path from start to a live result and stay involved as your setup evolves.
