The package
In your first year you get every service in the annual package. From the second year on, everything continues under the annual package. Your LLC is in good order from day one and stays that way.
We file your formation with the New York Department of State and prepare the document set for your route. We pass the state fee on with no markup.
We submit your Mercury application with you as soon as your documents and EIN are in. You also get euro account details with your own IBAN through Wise and, if you come to Austin, a personal introduction at a traditional US bank.
We apply for your Employer Identification Number (EIN) with the IRS. And we file the mandatory BE-13 report with the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the filing many founders have never heard of.
New York doesn't require a Registered Agent: the Secretary of State accepts service of process and forwards it to the address your company provides. We list our Austin address there. Your mail reaches you by email, and if a letter comes with a deadline, we tell you what to do.
Our Austin address goes on your letterhead and invoices, plus a US phone number with call answering.
Members' meetings, resolutions and minutes, the member register, filings with New York and a calendar with every deadline. You sign, we handle the rest.
The six points in detailContract templates under US law for your LLC's day-to-day business. From your first client contract to your first investor.
You ask, we answer, as often as you like. The only exceptions are custom documents drafted by the attorneys on the firm's team, and bookkeeping.
Included every year
With your LLC you become a member of the New Horizons Club. Membership starts with your order and is included in the formation package and every annual package, on both paths.
With free consultations.
Two paths, clear prices
The answer determines which documents your LLC needs from day one. Everything else is the same on both paths: the formation, the Registered Agent, the accounts, the annual compliance and our support in English.
Your parent company is the member of your LLC. On top of the LLC's document set come the documents for your parent company.
plus the $9 Biennial Statement every two years
Choose this pathOn your own or with co-founders. The LLC belongs to you directly.
plus the $9 Biennial Statement every two years
Choose this pathAfter formation, New York requires publication in two newspapers; the Certificate of Publication is included in the state fees, and we pass the newspaper costs on at cost. Every two years your LLC files the Biennial Statement, first in the month of formation two years after it was formed, $9. Bookkeeping is only added if you book it: from $250 a month, starting when you begin trading.
Not sure which path fits? Book a consultation or call our office: +1 512 647 1128. You can order directly on either path.
How it works
Everything runs remotely. The timings below reflect our experience, not guarantees.
Pick your path and extras on the order card. You see the total right away.
We file with the Department of State and prepare your document set.
New York requires the formation of your LLC to be published for six weeks in two newspapers chosen by the county. We hire the newspapers and then file the Certificate of Publication; the newspaper costs are passed on at cost.
Without a US Social Security number, we apply for the EIN by fax. The IRS quotes about four business days.
We file the mandatory report with the Bureau of Economic Analysis on time.
With your formation documents and IRS letter (CP575 or 147C), we submit the application together with you. Mercury decides after its own review.
According to Mercury, no visit to the US is required. You only travel to Austin if you want an introduction to a traditional US bank. That is optional.
Accounts and credit history
Credit for your company and for you. The strongest business cards also check your personal credit history, so we build both.
Annual compliance
An LLC in New York has obligations, year after year. We take on these six: in the formation package from day one, and after that with the annual package.
We set the date and prepare the agenda and resolutions: acknowledging the annual financial statements, confirming the managers (if any are appointed) and ratifying the year's business. In writing or by video: we write the minutes and collect signatures electronically.
We keep your LLC's resolutions and minutes, the member list and the list of managers (if any are appointed). Digital and always up to date.
Every two years, in the month of formation, the Biennial Statement goes to the Department of State, fee $9. If your LLC has income from New York, there is also an annual fee with the New York tax department, from $25; without such income, it does not apply.
The address for service through the Secretary of State remains our Austin address. Your mail reaches you by email, and we flag the deadlines.
Every deadline with New York, the IRS and the Bureau of Economic Analysis is in your calendar, and we remind you in good time. Since March 2025, companies formed in the US no longer report to FinCEN, confirmed by a final rule dated August 11, 2026. If the requirement returns, we handle it at no extra charge.
Unlimited support in English. Need a resolution for a new account, a contract or a loan? We prepare it, within the usual scope and at no extra charge. Custom documents drafted by the attorneys on the firm's team: $450 per matter.
Resolutions and minutes
When you want to work with a regulated supplier, take out a loan or sell your company, the first thing the other side asks for is your company's resolutions and minutes (the minute book). They show who owns the company, who runs it, who can sign and what was decided when.
If they are missing, they cannot be cleanly recreated after the fact. That is why we keep them from day one. When the moment comes, you just send a link.
BE-13
If a foreign person directly or indirectly holds at least ten percent of the voting rights, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis requires the BE-13 filing (15 CFR 801.7), even if it never contacts you. The deadline: 45 calendar days from formation.
We file it with every formation, as a short Claim for Exemption where total costs are up to $40 million. Above that, the full form applies, quoted individually.
Template library
Every template in English, from your first customer contract to your first investor. Your LLC's Operating Agreement, resolutions and minutes are already included in the package.
Once you've paid, sign in at mtbonnell.com/vorlagen with the email address you used for your order. No password needed: we send you a code by email. The templates are tailored to your LLC, with the LLC as the contracting party and members and managers built in. They don't replace advice on your specific case: where it really matters, one of the attorneys on the firm's team drafts the document.
Why New York
After California and Texas, New York is the third-largest state economy. Forming there comes with a few quirks: no Registered Agent requirement, a report only every two years and publication in the newspaper.
Instead of an annual report, your company files the Biennial Statement with the Department of State every two years, in the month it was formed.
Within 120 days of formation, the company is published for six weeks in two newspapers. Then comes the Certificate of Publication for $50. We handle it.
The Department of State fees: formation $200, Certificate of Publication $50. Newspaper costs are added at cost. We pass them on without markup and list them separately.

Extras
The packages cover everything every LLC needs. You can add these services in the order form, or later at the same prices.
In writing: a clean structure between the parent and its US subsidiary, or between you and your LLC. Coordinated with your accountant at home.
Full detailsIn writing: which route to the USA fits you and your team, prepared with the immigration attorney on the firm's team. Filing and government fees are separate.
Full detailsCertificate of Status (Good Standing) and a notarized Certificate of Incumbency, both with apostille and a certified German translation.
Full detailsCredit for your company and for you. The strongest business cards also check your personal credit history, so we build both.
Full detailsIf your LLC has a single member based outside the US, it files Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 cover sheet for every year with reportable transactions with that member; we handle this for $600. If it has several members, it files a partnership return (Form 1065) for $1,500; for that amount we first review your documents, and it is credited toward our fixed-price quote.
