The USA is considered to be a world-class economy and first business hub. The US economy is nearly 20 trillion dollars which is nearly 14 times the size of the Indian economy. Hence, setting up a company in the USA gives global class benefit. Further being a developed nation, rules and regulations for Company Registration in USA are much regularized, and corporate tax rates are much lower.
There are two types of companies that Indians may register in the USA. One is C- Corporation and the other is LLC.
C- Corporation (closely held corporation):
C-Corporations are an independent legal entity separate from the people who own, control and manage it.
Due to this recognition as an individual entity, it is viewed as a legal “person” in the view of tax laws.
It can be engaged in business and contracts, can initiate lawsuits and itself be sued.
LLC (Limited Liability Corporation):
LLC is a type of entity that has features of both a Corporation and a Partnership.
LLC provides the owners with limited liability protection in case of a lawsuit or bankruptcy.
LLCs are also operationally flexible and the compliance requirements for a LLC are simple.
Type of business:
Considering the most options, companies are set up in America to address three situations of business opportunities:
The company would be set up in the USA, but the operation would be carried out in India.
· The company is set up in the USA for marketing and brand building exercise and the rest of operation is carried out in India.
· The company would be a subsidiary of an Indian business firm, but would conduct full -fledged operations in the USA.
Before registering your company two decisions need to be made: first you need to choose what state you want your company registered in, and second you need to decide on what type of legal entity this company will be organized as (typically a choice between a corporation and an LLC – limited liability company).
