An AI expert that has read your filings.

Every formation includes Lumi AI Pro. It knows U.S. and UK compliance and your company’s own documents, and hands off to a human when judgment is needed. Pick a question to see how it answers.

Lumi AI

Online, answers in seconds

Northwind Labs LLC

Do I need to file U.S. taxes?

Yes. As a foreign-owned single-member LLC you file Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 every year, even with no U.S. income. Missing it carries a $25,000 penalty, so I’ve added April 15 to your calendar.

Lumi AI

Online, answers in seconds

Northwind Labs LLC

Should I form in the U.S. or the UK?

It depends on your customers:

  • U.S. LLC if you sell to Americans or need Stripe and a USD account
  • UK Ltd if most customers are in the UK or Europe
  • Both if you sell in both markets. You can run them from one dashboard.

Northwind Labs LLC

Which bank should I apply to first?

Based on your documents, Mercury is a strong first application: it works with many non-U.S. founders who have an EIN. I’ve pre-filled it. Wise is a good backup if you need multi-currency.

Questions, answered.

Still unsure? Ask Lumi any time, or call +1 (866) 504-5508.

Yes. Anyone can own a U.S. LLC or corporation, wherever they live. You don’t need a U.S. address, visa or SSN, and we obtain your EIN for you.

It depends on where you’ll operate, your budget and whether you plan to raise money. Wyoming and New Mexico are low-cost, and Delaware suits venture-backed startups. Lumi compares them for your situation.

Most states process filings within 1 to 5 business days. Your EIN follows once the state approves your company, and timing depends on the IRS.

A foreign-owned single-member LLC must file Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 every year, even with no U.S. income. Our tax team can file it for you.

Yes. A UK Ltd needs at least one director and one shareholder, who can be the same person and can live anywhere. You’ll need a UK registered office address, which we provide.

Companies House usually registers a company within a few working days once identity verification is complete. We prepare everything so it goes through the first time.

Many non-resident directors open a Wise Business account, which we help set up. Traditional high-street banks usually require a UK visit.

Yes, there’s no limit. You can manage all of them from one Luminous dashboard.

Yes. Many international sellers use a U.S. LLC with an EIN, a U.S. bank account and matching documents. We set these up in the right order before you apply.

No one can. Amazon, Walmart and Shopify make the final decision. We prepare and check every document so your application is complete and consistent the first time.

Walmart Marketplace and many suppliers use it to verify your business. We apply for it once your U.S. company and EIN are in place.

It lets you buy inventory from U.S. suppliers without paying sales tax on products you plan to resell. Requirements vary by state.

Yes. Formation, documents, banking applications and filings all happen in your dashboard. No travel or paper forms.

Next comes your bank account and payment gateways like Stripe or PayPal. We guide you through both, then keep you compliant with yearly reminders and filings.

You can keep Lumi AI Pro on a monthly plan or continue without it. Your dashboard, documents and reminders stay available either way.

Yes. If you need multiple companies or countries, book a free consultation and we’ll put together a package for you.
