Why Wyoming?
Wyoming is the gold standard for non-resident founders: no state income tax, strong privacy laws, low annual fees, and excellent banking compatibility.
The 72-hour playbook
Day 1 — Formation (4 hours)
- Pick a unique entity name
- File Articles of Organization with Wyoming Secretary of State
- Designate a registered agent
Day 2 — Federal identity (24-48 hours)
- Apply for an EIN with the IRS
- Set up an operating agreement
- Generate an SS-4 confirmation letter
Day 3 — Banking & ops
- Open a Mercury, Wise Business, or Relay account remotely
- Set up Stripe Atlas-compatible payment rails (optional)
- Register a US business address (we provide)
