Wyoming LLC Formation with Access to Banks, Payment Processors, and E-Commerce Accounts
You want to start a Wyoming LLC. You’re comparing services. But how do you choose one service over another?
You see offers like “cheapest LLC formation online” and they can be tempting. After all, does it really matter what service you use?
The answer is yes. Much more than you might think. Creating a U.S. company without a verifiable business address will block access to the essential services you need to run your business.
According to one article, more than 200,000 LLCs are registered at a single address. While many of those businesses are legitimate small businesses, a lot of different scammers and shell companies also share that address.
The problem is that the same addresses are sold by multiple services as the cheapest, quickest, and least private option for literally anyone with a credit card to start an LLC in Wyoming. This has been well-documented by the likes of The Washington Post.
So not only is your business associated with these fraudulent businesses, but those sketchy company formation services can’t provide proof of address documents that your company needs to open a business bank account, an Amazon Seller account, a Stripe account, or a Shopify account.
What happens when you have an LLC but can’t open a Stripe account? What happens if your bank requests a utility bill at your business address and you can’t provide it? It might not happen today. But it will happen at some point.
Your company becomes useless. Unable to receive or send payments. You think you saved yourself time and money, but now you’re going to waste more time and money to fix something you should have gotten right the first time.
But it’s not your fault. How would you know? The sketchy LLC formation service won’t tell you this, so we’re exposing these addresses and showing you how to form a Wyoming LLC or corporation correctly with a real, physical U.S. office address to open e-commerce and payment processor accounts.
Be Careful of Low Quality Formation Services
These are real search results from Google for addresses that low-quality formation services use to form your company. This is what potential customers will see when they do a background search on your business! Check for yourself…
How is Start in Wyoming Different?
We don’t resell another company’s address. We own an office building in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It’s a real, physical address that’s verified by the U.S. Postal Service. Most other services aren’t even located in Wyoming.
The office building is owned by our founder, Alex Freeburg. Alex is a licensed attorney in Wyoming. He has practiced law in Wyoming for over 12 years through his firm, Freeburg Law, founded in 2013. Freeburg Law has four attorneys practicing law.
When you form an LLC with Start in Wyoming, you get that experience by your side. We also provide a separate registered agent and office address for your business. Our virtual office service includes a lease agreement and an option for an Internet utility bill in your business’s name. These proof-of-business-address documents are vital for opening and maintaining bank and payment processor accounts.
You’re not getting some empty warehouse with 100K fake businesses. Instead, you’re forming a company at a working office building staffed by real people with experience and reputation.

There’s No Such Thing As An "Expedited EIN"
If you have an SSN or ITIN, you can apply for an EIN through the IRS online portal. The IRS will issue an EIN immediately. Our team is happy to help you with this process.
If you don’t have an SSN or ITIN, you must mail or fax a form to the IRS. Our team will do this form for you and fax it to the IRS, as we have found this to be the quickest method. The IRS is notoriously slow, so this can take several weeks. Sometimes the IRS issues the EIN in two weeks, but that’s a best-case scenario.
Some services will try to charge you more for an “expedited EIN”. There’s no such thing as an expedited EIN. These services are faxing the EIN just like us. The only difference is that they are calling the IRS, hoping that your EIN gets returned quickly to make more money from you. If we don’t hear from the IRS after two weeks, we will also call them until the EIN is sent. The same service, without being upsold.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you form a corporation?
Yes, we can file an S-Corp or C-Corp as part of our Complete Formation. You should be aware of the tax implications of this before you purchase.
Will this work from my country?
We can file a company for people from most countries. The difficult part is banking. We can’t help people who are living in countries sanctioned by the U.S. government. We recommend checking the requirements of a few banks, as the banks can also have their own prohibited countries list. You can contact our team if you’re unsure.
What information do you need from me?
We are legally required as your registered agent to have basic contact information from you, including your name and phone number. For the Complete Formations, we also require a government-issued ID, which we will process securely after you purchase.
What’s your process for mail handling?
We will scan and email important mail as it arrives. Important mail includes a letter from the bank or the IRS. We do not process general marketing mail or packages. If you would like mail forwarded, we will provide you with a FedEx invoice and a $50 service charge. Our team will handle everything else.
Can you form a trust?
This is not something that we are currently offering.
Can you help file my taxes?
Start in Wyoming is not a tax service. We recommend speaking to a tax professional if you have tax questions. We can connect you with tax services to understand your requirements and file the correct forms.
What if I can’t speak English?
It’s not necessary to speak English as long as you’re comfortable communicating via email in English.
Is the office address a CMRA?
No, the office address that we provide is not marked as a CMRA.

BOIs are not currently required by FinCEN for owners of U.S. companies. This includes non-U.S. citizens.
