doola and our Non-US Founder Package both form US LLCs for owners abroad, but they're priced differently. doola sells annual plans that scale into tax filing and bookkeeping. Ours is a one-time $399 package for a Wyoming LLC, plus the $100 state fee, with a $99 yearly registered agent renewal after the first twelve months. We sell a competing package, so keep that in mind when reading our comparison.

How the offers differ

1. Billing model. doola's plans are annual, and the Starter renewal price isn't published. Our $399 is a single charge. Only the registered agent renews, at $99, and you can cancel it.
2. Registered office. Wyoming requires a registered office at a street address in the state where someone is physically present to accept service. Our office provides it and files its written consent with your Articles.
3. Bank application timing. Your signature on the SS-4 is the trigger. At that point we've already filled in your application for our partners and attached the filed Articles; you approve, and we submit. Our partners have the final say on every account.
4. EIN handling. We prepare the SS-4 under the IRS procedure for owners with no SSN and fax it after you e-sign. The IRS generally issues these within two to eight weeks.

Choose doola if

• You want your federal and state returns filed by the same company that formed your LLC.
• You want bookkeeping included.
• You're forming a C-corp or haven't settled on Wyoming.
• A lower first-year charge matters more to you than a published renewal price.

Wyoming rules that apply either way

• Formation: Articles of Organization, $100.
• Registered agent: required continuously. Losing one can lead to dissolution, and reinstatement after losing an agent costs $350.
• Annual report: due the first day of the anniversary month, fileable up to 120 days early. License tax of $60 minimum.
• Late filing: more than 60 days late and the state may administratively dissolve the LLC, with a two-year reinstatement window.
• Privacy: members and managers aren't collected on the LLC annual report. The IRS and account providers still know the owners.

What our package leaves to you

The Wyoming annual report and license tax, and federal tax compliance. Foreign-owned single-member LLCs often owe a Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 each year. We don't prepare it, so line up a tax professional who handles nonresident owners.

FAQ

How do doola's plans differ from your package?

doola sells annual plans: Starter for formation and a registered agent, Tax and Compliance for tax filing and annual reports, and Business-in-a-Box with a bookkeeper. We sell one package, paid once, for a Wyoming LLC with an EIN and a bank application.

What's the cheapest doola plan that includes tax filing?

Tax and Compliance, listed at $1,999 a year with a $1,599 promotional price when we checked. It includes federal and state tax filing; Form 5472 isn't named on the pricing page.

Is an operating agreement included?

doola's Starter plan includes one. Our package doesn't list an operating agreement, and operating agreements aren't filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State.

What will Wyoming bill me each year regardless of provider?

The annual report license tax: $60, or two-tenths of a mill on Wyoming assets above $300,000. It's due on the first day of your anniversary month.

How soon can I send a bank application?

With our package, right after you sign your SS-4. The application is prepared from your order with the Articles attached and goes out once you approve it. Our partners decide on approval.
