FAQ
Colorado LLC Formation Questions
Colorado offers: one of the lowest compliance burdens of any state, thriving startup ecosystems in Denver and Boulder, affordable cost of living compared to coastal cities, high quality of life, and pro-business regulations.
Colorado uses a periodic report (not annual) due in your LLC's anniversary month. Our annual compliance, $299/year or included with Managed LLC ($149/month), handles the filing, deadline tracking, and good standing maintenance for you.
Colorado has a flat 4.4% state income tax. LLCs treated as pass-through entities pay tax on their share of profits. Colorado also has local taxes that may apply depending on where you operate.
Colorado is a good choice if you plan to operate there or want access to the Denver/Boulder startup ecosystem. For online-only businesses, Wyoming may offer better tax benefits and privacy.
Managed LLC is a fully-managed ongoing bundle covering registered agent, EIN assistance, operating agreement, business bank account setup, bookkeeping, state annual reports, and federal tax filing. Formation is separate: a one-time $399 with all state and government fees included. You can also choose ongoing services a la carte, with annual compliance from $99/year.
No. Non-US citizens and non-residents can form an LLC in any US state. You do not need a Social Security Number (SSN), US address, or US visa. We specialize in helping international entrepreneurs form US LLCs and have served founders from over 150 countries.
Standard processing typically takes 3-7 business days depending on the state. We begin processing your LLC immediately after you complete our questionnaire. You can track progress through your dashboard, and we notify you at each step.
A registered agent is a person or company that receives official legal and tax documents on behalf of your LLC. Every state requires LLCs to have a registered agent with a physical address in that state. Our registered agent service is $99/year, or included with Managed LLC ($149/month).
Yes. Bank account setup assistance is included in our package. We help you open an account with Mercury, Relay, or other providers that work with non-resident founders. The process is 100% remote, with no need to visit the US.
Ongoing services are available a la carte: registered agent ($99/year), annual report ($299/year, including state filings, deadline tracking, and good standing maintenance), bookkeeping by transaction volume, and federal tax filing by revenue. Or get everything in one fully-managed bundle with Managed LLC ($149/month). We send reminders before all deadlines and handle all filings on your behalf.
