Why Oregon?
No state sales tax makes Oregon attractive for retail and e-commerce businesses with Oregon-based operations. Non-residents can form a Oregon LLC without any US address, SSN, or physical presence. Edeal handles the registered agent requirement and the entire filing process.
Most non-residents registering a US LLC choose Wyoming ($100 filing fee, $60/year) or Delaware (investor-friendly). Oregon makes the most sense when you have operations in Oregon or benefit from no-sales-tax environment for your business model.
State Fees
These are government fees paid to the State of Oregon — not Edeal's service fee. Edeal registers your LLC for $1 + state fees.
LLC Formation
- Filing fee: $100 — one-time, paid to the Oregon Secretary of State
- Annual fee: $100/yr — annual report, paid to the State of Oregon to keep your LLC in good standing
- Registered Agent: required by law — Edeal provides a registered agent as part of its service
All fees are set by the State of Oregon and publicly available from the Oregon Secretary of State's office.
Who Oregon Is Right For
- Businesses with physical presence in Oregon — employees, office space, or warehouse
- Companies serving Oregon-based customers — local nexus justifies registration here
- Non-residents when you have operations in Oregon or benefit from no-sales-tax environment for your business model
Who Oregon Is Not the Best Fit For
- Freelancers and remote businesses without Oregon ties — Wyoming or Delaware are usually more cost-effective
- Non-residents seeking maximum privacy — Wyoming and New Mexico offer stronger member privacy protections
- Businesses optimizing purely for cost — Wyoming at $100 + $60/year is typically the baseline for non-residents
If you are unsure which state fits your situation, Edeal can help you compare before you register.
FAQ
Do I need to visit Oregon or have a US address to register an LLC?
No. Non-residents from any country can register a Oregon LLC without visiting the state, without a US address, and without an SSN. The only requirement is a registered agent with a Oregon address — Edeal provides this.
What is the annual fee for a Oregon LLC?
The annual government fee for a Oregon LLC is $100/yr (Annual Report). This fee is paid to the State of Oregon to keep your LLC in good standing — it is a mandatory government fee, not an income tax rate.
Can I open a US bank account with a Oregon LLC?
Yes. A Oregon LLC formed through Edeal comes with the documentation typically required by US banks and fintechs (Mercury, Relay, Brex). Having an EIN is usually also required — Edeal can assist with that process.
