Legal structure - United States - Delaware
The American LLC:
0% federal tax - as long as you know what you're doing.
The Delaware LLC is one of the world's most powerful structures for international entrepreneurs. Zero federal tax if your business is outside the U.S., zero VAT, zero dividends. But badly structured, it can create an unanticipated permanent establishment. What we sell is not a form - it's the certainty of making the right choice.

Structuring it well is priceless.
There are dozens of services that create LLCs online for less than €400. This is a reality. That's not what we offer.
A poorly structured LLC for a French resident can trigger tax liability in the U.S., France, or both. A single mistake can cost much more than the price difference.
Our support includes an analysis of your situation before you start - because an LLC isn't always the best answer, and we'd rather tell you that before than after.
Advice on the right state
Delaware, Wyoming, New Mexico - each state has its own particularities. We advise you based on your activity, not on popularity.
Prevention of permanent establishment
A non-resident who mismanages his LLC may set up an unwanted permanent establishment in France or in his country of residence.
French-speaking contact in the field
Not a chatbot. Not an FAQ. Just someone who knows both systems and answers in French.
Pre-validation of your profile
Before we get started, we check that the LLC is the right structure for you. If it's not, we'll tell you.
Which activities are right for you?
to the LLC structure?
International e-commerce
Do you sell internationally without physical inventory in the United States? The LLC allows you to benefit from a lighter tax framework and a serious image.
Consulting & coaching
Do you operate without a fixed office and invoice customers all over the world? The LLC is one of the most suitable structures.
Asset management & investment
The LLC can receive flows of foreign investments, royalties or dividends within a legal framework recognized worldwide.
Tech, SaaS & digital products
The American ecosystem is the most open in the world for tech startups. A Delaware LLC opens doors that European structures close.
International optimization structure
Ideal in combination with a Portuguese LDA or a British LTD. The LLC is often the top layer of a multi-jurisdictional strategy.
Startup with international growth
Looking to go global and attract English-speaking investors? The Delaware LLC is the global standard.
Critical point of attention: If you are resident in France and your business is principally carried on there, an LLC can create a permanent establishment and trigger taxation in France. It's not automatic - but it's a real risk that we analyze before any creation. The LLC is not for everyone, and we make that clear.
