About Brio

Most US company formation services are built for Americans. We aren't.

Brio helps founders set up and run US companies from wherever they happen to live. The filing is the easy part. What usually stops people is everything after it, and that is the part we were built for.

Our story

Why Brio exists

Registering the company is rarely the hard bit.

The system assumes you are American. We were built for everyone it doesn't.Why Brio exists

You can file an LLC yourself. The state portal is public, the fee is published, and for a straightforward Wyoming filing the paperwork is genuinely not difficult. Plenty of people do it and never need anyone's help.

Where it goes wrong is afterwards, and almost always for the same reason: the system assumes you are American. The bank wants a Social Security number you do not have. The tax form assumes a residency status that does not describe you. The ITIN process asks you to post your only passport to another continent. The annual report arrives in a state you have never visited, in a month nobody told you about.

That gap is the whole reason Brio is here. We are not trying to be the cheapest way to file a form. We are trying to be the people who already know what happens on day ninety, and who pick up the phone when it does.

How we work

Four things we have decided to be strict about.

We say when you don't need us

The fastest way to lose someone's trust is to sell them a filing they were exempt from. If the honest answer is that nothing is due, or that you can do it yourself in ten minutes, that is the answer you will get.

Real people, not ticket numbers

You get a person on WhatsApp, email or a scheduled call, who can see your file and answer in plain language. No queue position, no bot, no being handed between departments.

The price is the price

State fees shown separately and upfront, so you can see exactly what is ours and what is the government's. No surprise upsell once you have committed.

We don't stop at registration

Formation is the start of an obligation, not the end of one. Registered agent, annual reports, tax filing and the deadlines nobody warned you about are all handled in the same place.

Services

What we actually do

One team across the whole life of the company, in all 50 states.

Form the company

LLCs and corporations in any US state, filed remotely, with the documents and EIN you will be asked for by every bank and marketplace afterwards. Start from $1 plus the state's own filing fee.

Get you an ITIN without posting your passport

As an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent we can certify your identity documents ourselves, so your original passport stays where it belongs. This is the single thing we are asked about most.

Keep you in good standing

Registered agent in every state, annual reports and franchise tax filed on time, and amendments when the company changes.

File the taxes non-residents miss

Federal and state returns for foreign-owned companies, including the ones owners are commonly unaware of until a penalty notice arrives.

Get you selling

Sales tax permits and resale certificates, plus guidance on Amazon, Stripe, PayPal and Payoneer setup, so the company can actually take money.

Close it properly, if it comes to that

Not every company should stay open. Dissolution done correctly costs less than a company quietly accruing penalties in a state you have forgotten about.

What we won't do

We won't tell you a filing is required when it isn't. We won't quote one number and invoice another. And we won't take your money for formation and then be unreachable in March when the first tax question arrives.

If any of that ever happens, say so on WhatsApp and we will fix it. A company that plans to be here in five years cannot afford to treat a one-off fee as the point of the relationship.

A remote team, on purpose

We are a remote team, which is why support runs on WhatsApp, email and scheduled calls rather than a front desk. It is also why we can work with founders across most time zones without asking anyone to travel.

All the ways to reach us

What working with us looks like

You tell us what you're trying to do

Not which package you want. What the business actually is, where you live, and how you plan to get paid. The right entity and state follow from that, and the advice is free.

We tell you what it really involves

Including the ongoing costs, the filings that come round every year, and anything that makes your situation harder than a sales page would suggest.

We do the filing work

State registration, EIN, operating agreement, registered agent, and the ITIN if you need one. You are told what is happening at each stage rather than left guessing.

We stay for the boring years

The renewals, the reports, the deadline reminders and the questions that come up long after formation. See the yearly picture in our compliance checklist.

Common questions

Do I need to be in the US, or have a visa?

No. You do not need a visa, a US address, a Social Security number or a trip to the United States. Working with founders who have none of those is the normal case here rather than the exception.

Are you a law firm or an accountancy practice?

We are a company formation and compliance service, and we are an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent for ITIN applications. For anything that genuinely needs a licensed attorney or a CPA in your specific situation, we will tell you that plainly rather than stretch beyond what we do.

Why is formation only $1?

Because the state's filing fee is the real cost of forming a company, and we would rather compete on what happens afterwards. You pay $1 plus whatever your chosen state charges, and you can see both numbers before you commit. Ongoing services such as registered agent and tax filing are priced separately and shown upfront.

What if I formed my company somewhere else?

That is fine, and it is common. We take over registered agent, annual reports, tax filing and amendments for companies we did not form, whoever set them up. Plenty of our clients arrive after a bad renewal invoice rather than at formation.

How do I reach a person?

WhatsApp is fastest, and it is a real person during office hours. You can also email, call, or book a free 15-minute call. Every route is on our contact page.

Can you help before I have decided anything?

Yes, and that is when it is most useful. Most of the questions we answer come from people who have not bought anything and are still deciding whether they need a US company at all. There is no charge for asking.

Talk to us before you file anything.

Fifteen minutes on a call usually saves more than it costs, even when the conclusion is that you should do it yourself.
