Who we serve · Founders
A US company owned from abroad
You registered a Delaware or Wyoming LLC, or set up a C-Corp for the raise. The bank account exists, the revenue may not — and the IRS still wants an annual information return.
Structural risks
The three traps in an inbound structure
01The $25,000 silence
A single-member LLC with a foreign owner files Form 5472 and a pro-forma 1120 every year, even with zero activity. The penalty is $25,000 per form per year and applies before any tax is owed.
02The foreign parent above the LLC
Once you add an operating company abroad or a holding layer, Form 5471, GILTI (8992) and Subpart F may all attach — with a 10% ownership test, not a control test.
03Related-party money with no paper
Founder reimbursements, intercompany loans and IP transfers are reportable transactions. Without contemporaneous records, the statute of limitations on those transactions never closes.
