The character of the state

A farmer hears a voice in a cornfield: "If you build it, he will come." It was no accident that Hollywood chose Iowa for Field of Dreams: nowhere does America believe more firmly that patient building pays off. Iowa's soil feeds half of several continents, every four years it is the first state to put the presidential candidates through their paces, and otherwise it keeps a low profile. Grant Wood's "American Gothic", the most famous farming couple in art history, comes from here: serious, upright, unimpressed.

The register fits right in: a report only every two years, and your name appears nowhere. Iowa lets what was planted grow.

Who Iowa makes sense for

For anyone who wants to combine anonymity with maximum peace and quiet and doesn't need a big state brand. Not sure? A consultation (held in English only) or one of our favourites.

Order an Iowa LLC

Do you really need an Iowa LLC?

The honest question before you order: if what draws you to Iowa is mainly the look of it, you don't need an Iowa LLC for that. Your business address is yours to choose, in any state, for any LLC. A Des Moines 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 "Iowa" in so many words, you really do need the Iowa LLC. Second: an address is appearance, not substance. If you actually keep premises, staff or ongoing business operations in Iowa, 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 Iowa 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 Iowa 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, $2,550, done.

Formation and taxes

Formed online, an Iowa LLC is ready in around 1 to 5 days. Structured correctly, your Iowa 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

STANDARD

The usual liability protection of an LLC applies. For targeted asset protection we recommend Wyoming, the state with the strongest statutory protection in the US.

Rating: our firm's assessment based on the company law, not legal advice for your individual case.

Anonymity

Iowa 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.
