ITIN and trademark registration
Two things many founders add once their LLC is formed. You don’t need either one to start your company, and we’ll tell you on the first call if you do.
For you, the owner
ITIN registration
A personal U.S. tax number from the IRS, for people who can’t get a Social Security number.
You may need one to
- File a personal U.S. tax return
- Open a payment or bank account that asks for your own U.S. tax number
- Claim a benefit under your country’s tax treaty with the U.S.
What we do
The IRS only issues an ITIN when you have a U.S. tax reason for one, so we check that first. Then we prepare your Form W-7, check your documents and send the application to the IRS.
- You’ll need
- A valid passport
- Usually takes
- 7 to 11 weeks at the IRS
- From
- $250
The IRS doesn’t charge a fee for an ITIN.
For your brand
Trademark registration
Registers your brand name or logo with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
You may need one to
- Enroll your brand in Amazon Brand Registry
- Stop other sellers using your brand name in the U.S.
- Protect your name before you spend on marketing
What we do
We search for brands that could conflict with yours. Then a U.S.-licensed trademark attorney files your application, as the USPTO requires for owners based outside the U.S., and we keep you updated until it’s registered.
- You’ll need
- Your brand name or logo
- Usually takes
- 12 to 18 months at the USPTO
- From
- $350 plus USPTO fees
The USPTO charges $350 for each category of products or services your brand covers, such as clothing or software.

Questions founders ask first
If yours isn’t here, ask us on WhatsApp. A person replies, usually the same day.
Can I own a U.S. LLC if I don’t live in the United States?
Yes. U.S. states don’t require LLC owners to be citizens or residents. You do need a registered agent and an address in the state, and every plan includes both for 12 months.
Do I need to travel to the United States?
No. Forming the company and getting the EIN are done remotely. Some banks and payment platforms run their own identity checks, which may mean a video call or extra documents.
Which state should I choose?
Many founders abroad choose Wyoming or New Mexico for low yearly costs, or Delaware if they plan to raise investment. We recommend a state based on where your customers are and what the company will cost to keep each year.
Do I need an ITIN?
Not to form an LLC or get an EIN. You may need one for a personal U.S. tax return or for some payment platforms. We’ll tell you on the first call whether it applies to you.
Start today. Your company could be filed by next week.

- We reply on WhatsApp or email within one business day.
- We agree the state, the plan and the total before you pay.
- We file, and send you each document as soon as it’s issued.
