In business circles, firms or companies outside their own state are gaining great popularity.
The goal of each entrepreneur is to register a company in a country that provides optimal world trade opportunities with minimal control and taxes. This is a legally registered company with the rules of a particular state, which carries out its business outside its own country. If the company does not work in the country where it is registered, then it is exempted from taxes or taxes are minimal (depending on the state).
In the USA, the term “offshore” means precisely such companies that are based in another country, as well as doing business in one or more states. To conduct the business of such a company, documents must be provided to register a company in the USA with one or more governments. That is, a foreign company must register in those states where it wants to conduct business. US company registration requirements and payment for foreign companies may vary slightly between states.
The suggested instructions will help you take the first steps in your business.
First you need to go to the secretary of state of the state (s) where you want to register an offshore company. Each state has its own secretary of state and an official website.
Order or download sets of registration forms for registering a company in the USA. This document is usually referred to as an “Authorization Certificate” or “Registration Certificate”. You can download them directly from the website, request a hard copy by fax, phone, air mail, or through your local office. All necessary contact information will be on the Secretary of State’s website.
The registration form indicates the name of your company, address and your registration agent. The name of the company must be unique, that is, be the only name among any other organization or business. Your firm’s registered agent is a business or person who receives and transfers legal communications between your company and the state government.
You must also attach the appropriate payment to the US company registration documents. Registration fees will depend on the status and classification of your company. And if you need a quick solution to your question, then an additional fee is charged for expedited registration or copies of the certificate. You can find all information about payment for certain services in your registration documents.
After completing the paperwork, it remains for you to send the completed form and payment to your chosen state secretary of state. The state government will notify you by email confirming that it has received the registration and that it takes several weeks to review and complete the process. After your registration of an offshore company in the United States is successfully completed, the Secretary of State will send you a copy of the authorization certificate by mail.
