Where should I register my company?
US Residents
If you are a US resident, your best bet is to register in the state where you live and work, rather than Wyoming or Delaware, where you do not operate in. If, on the other hand, you want to prepare your startup for Angel and VC investments, we recommend that you incorporate your company as a corporation in Delaware and foreign qualify the business in the state where you conduct business. Normally, this refers to the state where the founders are located and is often the home of one of the founders.
Non-US Residents
If you are a Non-US resident and do not have any US residents on your team, your best option is to either incorporate in Delaware or Wyoming. If you plan to raise funds from angel investors or venture capitalists, you will need to incorporate a Corporation in Delaware instead of Wyoming.
Which countries are not allowed to register a U.S. Company?
In an ideal world, we would want to offer service to everyone. Citizens of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria, unfortunately, cannot form a legal company in the United States. We will continue to update this list as things change, so please check back frequently.

Will I get a Bank Account?
Yes. All our packages come with U.S. Business Bank Accounts. In fact, we will help you apply for two banks, so that you could use one as a primary bank account and the other as a backup/secondary bank account. Our team will guide you through the process and will help you get all necessary information to open a business bank account in the U.S. The bank accounts are all FDIC-insured.
What if I want bank accounts at JP Morgan Chase or Bank of America?
If you need bank accounts from major banks such as JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank or other major banks, please contact us at hello@startfleet.io. We work with several major banks, but it depends on many factors, such as the industry you are in, your initial deposit, and whether you are able to travel to the United States.
Will I get a Debit Card?
Yes, your bank accounts include debit cards, which can be physical or virtual. From the online banking panel, you can choose to issue physical or virtual debit cards to yourself and your employees.

Can I have a U.S. company without being there?
Absolutely! US LLCs and C Corporations have a very flexible structure that is ideal for global companies, startups, freelancers, agencies, and digital nomads.
Why should I start my company in the US?
Access to U.S.-based customers, venture capital, tax benefits, banks, accelerators, payment providers and lines of credit are among the benefits of starting a business in the United States. American customers also have a high level of comfort purchasing digital and physical products from U.S.-based companies.
Should I form a LLC or Corporation?
There are few factors to consider, but in general, you will choose between being a tax efficient LLC or investor-friendly C Corporation (Inc.). If you plan to raise funding soon, a C Corporation is a good option; otherwise, register as an LLC for a simpler structure, reduced paperwork and potentially not paying U.S. federal taxes.
Do I need to pay taxes in the US?
In general, if the members of a US LLC are foreigners and the entity does not have any US-connected income, the company will not be subject to US federal taxation. Even if you sell to customers in the US, simply selling products or services through your US company does not subject you to US federal taxes. However, if you incorporate a US C Corporation, you will be subjected to 21% federal income tax.
Which is the best state to incorporate in the US?
Delaware and Wyoming are the top two choices for non-US founders all over the world. Delaware's business laws provide the strongest protection for businesses and are commonly preferred by VCs and angel investors, whereas Wyoming is known for its low annual fees, anonymity and simplicity. If you have compelling reasons to incorporate in a state other than Delaware or Wyoming, we can still assist you because we serve all 50 states.

Do I need to pay taxes in the US?
Generally, if you are a Non-US Person if:
- You are not a US-citizen
- You do not have a US Green Card
- You do not pass the substantial presence test
Substantial Presence Test calculation is a bit complicated, but general rule of thumb is, if you don't stay in the US for more than 120 days per year, you are safe.
Can I trial Webflow before paying?
Sure! You can test out Webflow on our free plan where you can experiment with 2 projects. Your unhosted projects will have a two-page limit, but you can purchase a site plan on a per-project basis to unlock up to 100 static pages and additional CMS pages.
What can I white label?

How does Webflow count monthly visits?
We calculate monthly visits as the total unique daily visits in a month. Multiple visits by the same person in one day therefore only count as one visit.
