StartGlobal vs Our Package: Forming a Wyoming LLC From Abroad

Both start at $399. StartGlobal's price includes the state fee; ours adds Wyoming's $100 and includes a bank account application we prepare for you.

StartGlobal offers US LLC formation for founders abroad at $399, the same headline price as our Non-US Founder Package. The difference is what that number covers. StartGlobal folds in the state fee; we add Wyoming's $100 separately and put more of our effort into the bank account step. Here's the full picture. We sell the competing package, so read our comparison with that in mind.

Where StartGlobal is strong

StartGlobal's $399 includes state and government fees, so for a Wyoming LLC it's the lower total. It forms in any state, includes a registered agent for the first year, and then charges $99 a year, the same as we do. StartGlobal handles EINs for owners without an SSN and guides your bank application with Mercury and Lili. Later on, you can buy more from it: yearly annual report filing at $299, bookkeeping and federal returns priced on volume or revenue, a US mailing address, or its Managed LLC plan, which is $149 monthly.

StartGlobal details are from startglobal.co, read on September 29, 2026.

Your first year and after

Year one

StartGlobal: $399 total. Our package: $399 plus $100, so $499. StartGlobal is $100 lower.

Year two onward

The registered agent is $99 a year with both. Anything beyond that with StartGlobal depends on which add-ons you choose. With us, there's nothing else to add.

What's different about our package

We prepare the bank application for you

We fill out the account application for our partners ourselves, from the details on your order, and attach your filed Articles. It's ready the moment you sign your EIN form. You check it and approve it, then we send it, so your application isn't waiting on the IRS. Our partners decide, and we can't guarantee an account.

A stated EIN timeline

We complete Form SS-4 for owners without an SSN, and once you've signed, we fax it. The IRS generally issues these within 2 to 8 weeks.

A Wyoming registered office

Your registered agent is our office in Wyoming, which accepts legal papers and state notices for your LLC and forwards them to you.

What you'll still handle

Two things stay with you: Wyoming's yearly report and your tax returns, including Form 5472. Plan for both.

When StartGlobal is the better choice

StartGlobal makes sense if you want the lowest first-year total, if you'd like to add annual report filing or tax work through the same provider later, or if you need a state other than Wyoming. If you want your bank account application prepared for you and ready as soon as you sign, our package does that.

FAQ

Which one costs less for a Wyoming LLC?

StartGlobal, by $100 in the first year. Its $399 includes state and government fees, while our $399 is before Wyoming's $100 filing fee.

Do the registered agent renewals match?

Yes. Each of us charges $99 a year for the registered agent after the first year.

Can StartGlobal file my annual report?

Yes, as an add-on at $299 a year. We don't offer annual report filing, so with us you'd file Wyoming's report yourself; the license tax starts at $60.

Who are StartGlobal's banking partners?

StartGlobal names Mercury and Lili for its guided application. We work with partners we don't name, prepare the application for you, and send it once you approve. Approval is never guaranteed.

Does StartGlobal form in other states?

Yes, it offers any of the 50 states. Our package on this site is for Wyoming.
