Company Registration in the USA

Things you should know

The USA, a global economic powerhouse with a $20 trillion economy—nearly 14 times the size of India’s—offers unparalleled advantages for business setup. With streamlined regulations and lower corporate tax rates, registering a company in the USA provides significant global benefits. Indians can choose between two company structures in the USA: C-Corporation or LLC, each tailored to different business needs.

Understanding Company Structures in the USA: C-Corporation and LLC

C-Corporations A C-Corporation is an independent legal entity, separate from its owners, controllers, and managers. Recognized as a “legal person” under tax laws, it can engage in business activities, enter contracts, file lawsuits, or be sued. This structure is ideal for businesses seeking scalability and distinct legal identity. LLC (Limited Liability Company) An LLC blends the flexibility of a partnership with the liability protection of a corporation. It shields owners from personal liability in cases of lawsuits or bankruptcy while maintaining operational flexibility and simplified compliance requirements, making it a popular choice for modern businesses.

Business Types for Companies in the USA

Businesses registered in the USA typically fall into three categories:

  1. Operations in India: The company is incorporated in the USA but conducts its operations in India.
  2. Marketing and Branding: The US-based company focuses on marketing and brand-building, with operations executed in India.
  3. Subsidiaries: A subsidiary of an Indian business firm that performs full-fledged operations within the USA.

Key Decisions Before Registration
Before starting your company, you must:

  1. Choose the state for registration.
  2. Decide the legal structure (C-Corporation or LLC) that best suits your business goals.
