Oklahoma. First off the line wins.

The character of the state

On 22 April 1889, at twelve noon sharp, a cannon fired and fifty thousand people galloped off at the same moment to claim a piece of land: the great Land Run. Anyone who secretly set off early was called a "Sooner", and Oklahoma was cheeky enough to name itself after exactly that. A state founded by people who did not want to wait.

Later came the oil, came Woody Guthrie's songs, and came the mother of all roads: nowhere can you drive more of the original Route 66 than here, past diners and neon signs that look like our website. Company law is as uncomplicated as the landscape: affordable, fast, a small annual certificate, done. Only the register knows nothing of discretion: your name appears in it.

Who Oklahoma makes sense for

For anyone with a tie to the state or a soft spot for a Route 66 address, with no need for anonymity. If you want discretion: Wyoming or New Mexico, right next door on the same highway.

Do you really need an Oklahoma LLC?

The honest counter-question before you order: if what draws you to Oklahoma is mainly the look, you do not need an Oklahoma LLC for it. Your business address is yours to choose, in any state, for any LLC. You can get an Oklahoma City address from one of the many virtual business address providers for around $20 to $150 a month; you book that yourself, directly with the provider, and it is not part of our package. Combined with a Wyoming LLC 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 state the company's state of formation. If you need "Oklahoma" to appear there explicitly, you really do need the Oklahoma LLC. Second: an address is appearance, not substance. If you actually keep premises, staff or ongoing business operations in Oklahoma, you create a real connection there with reporting and tax consequences, regardless of where the LLC was formed. Set-ups like that belong in a consultation (held in English only) beforehand.

And if your reason for Oklahoma is a personal or business tie: good choice. That is exactly what this page is for.

No hidden fees, no surprise bills for extra work

Our flat fee covers every service you need to form your Oklahoma LLC and run it for the first 12 months. You will find a detailed description of the services here. Bought one by one, these services cost over $6,500. With us: one flat fee, $2,600, done.

Formation and taxes

Formation takes about 2 to 5 days. Set up correctly, the Oklahoma zero-tax LLC pays no income tax in the United States. Whether, and to what extent, the profits are taxable in your country of residence is a question for your tax adviser or for a consultation, held in English.

Transparency in the register

Oklahoma's register names the people responsible for your LLC. If you do not want your name to appear anywhere, choose Wyoming or New Mexico. More under anonymity.
