What US STARTUP FILING INC does

US Startup Filing Inc is a privately held, bootstrapped professional services firm headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, that assists individuals and businesses with U.S. company registration and ongoing compliance. The company offers a full-stack formation and compliance menu covering LLC, C-Corporation, S-Corporation, and Nonprofit registration, Employer Identification Number (EIN) and Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) acquisition, W-9 preparation, annual report filing, registered agent services, business dissolution, and tax filing on Forms 1040, 1040-NR, 1120, and 1065. Its service catalog is delivered through a direct-to-consumer website with online request forms and email support, supplemented by a white-label partner program that lets accountants, tax professionals, and consultants resell these services under their own brand.

The company was founded in 2015 as a local offline operation, transitioned to a nationwide digital model in 2022, and broadened into tax filing and compliance services in 2023, with process streamlining in 2024. It primarily targets two customer segments: U.S.-resident entrepreneurs and freelancers forming small businesses, and non-U.S. residents who need to register U.S. entities, obtain ITINs, open U.S. bank accounts remotely, and file non-resident tax returns. There is no proprietary technology platform, no API, no AI/ML capabilities, and no disclosed headcount beyond the 1-10 employee band. Revenue, funding, and ownership details are not publicly disclosed.
