Cost of Forming an LLC in the USA for Pakistani Residents

If you’re a Pakistani entrepreneur, freelancer, Amazon seller, or e-commerce business owner, forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the USA can offer tax benefits, global credibility, and access to international payment solutions.

Before starting, it’s essential to understand the total cost of forming an LLC in the USA from Pakistan. In this guide, we will provide a detailed breakdown of expenses and how you can register your LLC cost-effectively.

How Much Does It Cost to Form an LLC in the USA from Pakistan?

The total LLC registration cost depends on several factors, including the state you choose, registered agent fees, EIN application, and business bank account setup. Below is a breakdown of the main expenses:

1. State Filing Fees for LLC Registration

Each US state has different LLC registration fees. Here are the most popular states for Pakistani business owners:

State	LLC Formation Fee	Annual Renewal Fee
Wyoming	$100	$60
Delaware	$90	$300
Florida	$125	$138.75
Texas	$300	No annual fee

For Pakistani entrepreneurs, Wyoming LLC is a great choice due to low fees, no state tax, and strong privacy protections.

2. Registered Agent Fees

Since you don’t have a physical address in the USA, you must appoint a Registered Agent to receive legal documents on behalf of your LLC. The annual cost ranges between $50 – $150.

Applying for an EIN from the IRS is free if you do it yourself. However, if you use a service provider, the cost is $50 – $100.

4. US Business Bank Account Setup Fees

A US business bank account is essential for receiving international payments. While some banks require a physical presence in the USA, digital banks allow remote account setup.
