The character of the state

Stand on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park during the winter half of the year and you are the first person in the US to see the sun rise. Below you: a coast of granite with more than sixty lighthouses, lobster boats in the fog, and in Bangor a house with a bat-adorned fence where Stephen King taught all of America to be afraid. In Freeport, L.L.Bean has been open around the clock since 1951, and the flagship store doesn't even have locks on its doors: reliability as a business model, for generations.

Vacationland sells one thing above all: calm with dignity. That is exactly what a Maine LLC projects. The register is open: your name appears in it.

Who Maine makes sense for

For clients with a real connection to New England or an incurable love of lighthouses. Everyone else: our favourites or a consultation (held in English only).

Order a Maine LLC

Do you really need a Maine LLC?

The honest question before you order: if what draws you to Maine is mainly the look of it, you don't need a Maine LLC for that. Your business address is yours to choose, in any state, for any LLC. A Portland 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 "Maine" in so many words, you really do need the Maine LLC. Second: an address is appearance, not substance. If you actually keep premises, staff or ongoing business operations in Maine, 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 Maine 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 Maine 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, $2,675, done.

Formation and taxes

Formation takes around 5 to 10 days. Structured correctly, your Maine 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.

Transparency in the register

Maine's register names the people behind your LLC. For discretion, look at Wyoming or New Mexico, for example. More under anonymity.
