hello! my friend's friend is a Canadian Immigrant who's currently living in his country. He's thinking about registering a company in the US but he doesn't know if he's able to do so as he's not an American citizen or immigrant.
U.S. citizenship and residency are not required, foreign nationals are able to start or expand a business on U.S. soil without experiencing much more red-tape than an American-born business owner would.

Yes you can register a company in the United States. However, you have to choose a state to incorporate your business in. We welcome foreign owed compnies and foreign ownd businesses.

rebeccayhb,
Foreign business entities are incorporated at the state level in the U.S. The process will vary from state-to-state. Check out our business article on Starting a Business in the U.S. as a Foreign National.
What state are you in? You can check out our information on each state.
