Does the U.S. government have any nationality or status restrictions on foreigners incorporating locally?

The U.S. government does not impose any nationality or status restrictions on foreigners registering U.S. corporations and does not require a U.S. resident to be a nominee director.

How many shareholders do I need to incorporate a U.S. company? Are there any restrictions on the nationality or legal domicile of the shareholders?

Registering a U.S. corporation requires at least one shareholder. This can be a natural person or a corporation. The U.S. government does not have any requirements or restrictions on the nationality or legal domicile of shareholders of U.S. corporations.

What is the difference between LLC and C-Corp?

C-Corp's income tax rate is based on a flat tax rate, which is calculated using the graduated tax rates of the U.S. individual income tax system, i.e., the higher the corporate profits, the higher the tax rate; and there is no corporate tax liability, as the corporation's income tax is the shareholders' personal tax liability. C-Corp is completely separate from the shareholders or operators of the corporation, and C-Corp's income tax rate is calculated using a flat tax rate.

Do I need a capitalization to incorporate a U.S. company?

No capitalization is required to register a U.S. corporation.

What is needed to restore a force-dissolved U.S. company after the owner neglected it?

Reinstating a force-dissolved U.S. company generally requires filing the missing annual reports, reappointing a registered agent (if it resigned), and paying outstanding state fees plus penalties, in addition to a service fee. Where the company has no special value, it is often cheaper and simpler to incorporate a brand-new company instead.

How long does it take to obtain a U.S. EIN when the application is submitted by fax?

When an EIN application (Form SS-4) is submitted to the IRS by fax, processing typically takes about 6-8 weeks before the EIN is issued.

Does Virginia accept paper filings for company submissions, or is electronic filing required?

Virginia generally requires electronic filing (E-Filing) for the relevant company submissions; paper filing is typically not accepted. Confirm the specific filing type, as requirements can vary.

Is a U.S. company's EIN available immediately upon incorporation?

No. A U.S. company can be incorporated (certificate issued) before its EIN is available. The EIN is issued separately by the IRS and may take additional time to arrive after incorporation.

Can a U.S. company obtain an EIN if no director has a U.S. SSN, and what happens after it is issued?

Yes. A U.S. company can obtain an EIN even when none of its directors has a U.S. Social Security Number. After the IRS issues the EIN, it mails a confirmation letter (CP 575) to the company, which typically arrives within about 30 days.
