The character of the state
Every May in Indianapolis, 33 cars race in front of 300,000 people in the greatest race in the world: the Indy 500, held since 1911, "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing". For the rest of the year, Indiana is the exact opposite of all that noise: basketball courts, cornfields, workbenches, and more converging interstates than anywhere else, which is why the state calls itself the "Crossroads of America". Everything flows through here, nothing gets stuck.
Its company law runs on the same line: anonymous in the register, and the state only wants to see a short report every two years. Between pit stops, there is peace.
Who Indiana makes sense for
For anyone who wants anonymity with minimal upkeep and doesn't need a famous state brand. Not sure? A consultation (held in English only) or one of our favourites.
Order an Indiana LLCDo you really need an Indiana LLC?
The honest question before you order: if what draws you to Indiana is mainly the look of it, you don't need an Indiana LLC for that. Your business address is yours to choose, in any state, for any LLC. An Indianapolis address is available from any of the many virtual business address providers for around $20 to $150 a month; you book it yourself, directly with the provider, and it is not part of our package. Pair it with a Wyoming LLC and you get the same presence, plus anonymity in the register and the strongest statutory asset protection in the US.
There are two things an address cannot replace, though, and they belong to the full picture. First: your contracts and invoices show the company's state of formation. If they need to say "Indiana" in so many words, you really do need the Indiana LLC. Second: an address is appearance, not substance. If you actually keep premises, staff or ongoing business operations in Indiana, you create a real point of connection there, with reporting and tax consequences, regardless of where the LLC was formed. Situations like that belong in a consultation (held in English only) before you order.
And if your reason for Indiana is a personal or business connection: good choice. That is exactly what this page is for.
No hidden fees, no surprise invoices for extra work
Our flat fee covers every service you need to form your Indiana LLC and run it for the first 12 months. You'll find a detailed description of the services here. Bought separately, these services cost over $6,500. With us: one flat fee, $2,595, done.
Formation and taxes
Formed online, an Indiana LLC is ready in around 1 to 5 days. Structured correctly, your Indiana LLC pays no income tax in the US. Whether and to what extent the profits are taxed in your country of residence is a question for your tax adviser or for a consultation, held in English.
Asset protection
BASICThis state does not expressly limit a member's creditors to the charging order. It is not the right choice for targeted asset protection. That is what Wyoming is for.
Rating: our firm's assessment based on the company law, not legal advice for your individual case.
Anonymity
Indiana offers anonymity: only the details of our firm or the service providers we engage are submitted. The usual perspective applies: banks and payment providers verify your identity regardless of the register. More under anonymity.
