Utah in Americana style

STATE ATLAS · AVAILABLE ON REQUEST

Utah. The beehive counts carefully.

Silicon Slopes, five national parks, world records on salt, and some of the lowest ongoing fees in the US. The honest assessment.

PACKAGE YEAR 1: $2,559
FROM YEAR 2: $2,058
Tech momentum between the mountains

The character of the state

When Brigham Young looked out over the pass into the Salt Lake Valley with his exhausted settlers in 1847, all he said was: "This is the place." The pioneers built a city out of nothing, and the state emblem still reveals Utah's operating system today: the beehive, symbol of hard work and community spirit. Utah calls itself the Beehive State, and it buzzes: between Salt Lake City and Provo, tech companies spring up on the Silicon Slopes week after week, on the Bonneville Salt Flats people have been chasing land speed records for a hundred years, and all around lie five national parks like wonders tossed onto the map.

Hard work and thrift are character here, not marketing: Utah gets everything done quickly and without fuss. Only discretion is missing: the register is open, and your name appears in it.

Who Utah makes sense for

For anyone who wants to combine tech momentum with a reliable Mountain West address and has no need for anonymity in the register. If you want both: Wyoming, just across the border.

Order a Utah LLC

Do you really need a Utah LLC?

The honest counter-question before you order: if what draws you to Utah is mainly the look, you do not need a Utah LLC for it. Your business address is yours to choose, in any state, for any LLC. You can get a Salt Lake 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 "Utah" to appear there explicitly, you really do need the Utah LLC. Second: an address is appearance, not substance. If you actually keep premises, staff or ongoing business operations in Utah, 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 Utah 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 Utah 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, $2,559, done.

Formation and taxes

Filed online, a Utah formation takes about 1 to 3 days. Set up correctly, the Utah 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.

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

Utah's register names the people responsible for your LLC. For discretion, look for example to Wyoming or New Mexico. More under anonymity.
