Borders shouldn't
be paperwork.
Anyone in the world can open a U.S. company in an afternoon. Staying compliant is the hard part — and it's where good businesses quietly fall apart. We built ForeignFile so they don't.
A founder in São Paulo opens a Wyoming LLC to take Stripe payments. A developer in Lagos forms a Delaware C-corp to sign with a U.S. client. They do the exciting part — and then the paperwork begins.
The IRS wants a Form 5472. Wyoming wants an annual report. The bank wants a resolution. None of these systems talk to each other, none of them were designed for someone outside the U.S., and every one of them carries a penalty for getting it wrong — often more than the company earned that year.
We think that's backwards. The hard, scary, expensive parts of running a U.S. company should be the calmest part of your week. So we put every obligation — federal, state, governance, and records — into one quiet dashboard that tells you exactly what's due, what's handled, and what we can take off your plate.
ForeignFile is the compliance layer for founders who happen to live somewhere else. That's the whole idea.
Principles, not features.
Calm over clever
Compliance software shouldn't feel like a cockpit. One score, one timeline, plain language. If you have to think hard, we've failed.
Show the real number
State fees at cost. No surprise charges. You see exactly what you're paying and to whom, before you pay it.
You're never locked in
File it yourself or hand it to us — switch any time. No contracts, no exit fees, and your records are always yours to export.
Built for founders abroad.
Non-U.S. owners of U.S. LLCs
The single-member Wyoming or Delaware LLC owned from abroad — the exact entity the IRS Form 5472 regime targets, and the one most software ignores.
Solo founders & freelancers
People running a real business who never signed up to be a compliance department — and shouldn't have to become one.
Holding & SaaS companies
Multiple LLCs across multiple states, each with its own calendar — managed from one switcher instead of one spreadsheet.
Accountants & agencies
Firms that set up U.S. entities for international clients and need one dependable place to keep them all in good standing.
