The United States is made up of no fewer than 50 states! Each one has its own history, culture and identity, and its own constitution setting out how the state is governed and what rights its citizens have. Thanks to this political independence, the US states are sometimes even thought of as countries in their own right.
From the Sunshine State to the Rocky Mountains, from the Big Apple to Silicon Valley, from New York to Salt Lake City and South Carolina, the Palmetto State: this page gives you an overview of every US state so you can get your bearings.
Every American state has its own character. Here you'll learn about the features and strengths of each one, so you get a clearer picture. We don't just look at the economy, but also at other points that may matter to you as an entrepreneur. At the end, you'll also find our services in each state. And if you're specifically choosing a state for a US LLC without a US permanent establishment, our sister firm can help.
