Discover if You Can Start an LLC While in the US on an H1B Visa
People think that being on H1B visa they have to work for a company and cannot open their own company. But that’s not fully true!. You absolutely can start a company in the US on an H-1B or other visas. Yes!, You can’t work for it, but you can register/incorporate it, get it funded, be a shareholder, and do a lot of stuff to get ready to jump over.
So can one be a single-member LLC then? Or does that automatically mean they are “working for it” Or would they have to be a ” multiple-member LLC? “
Ownership in an LLC and “work” aren’t related. You could be a sole owner or one of many owners and there are no issues. If you’re working for that company,(regardless of ownership structure) you need a work visa/work authorization.
Conclusion
You can start your company as long as you do not draw a salary from the company and do not actively “work for” the company. Contact us, Doola will help you in your journey of US company incorporation.
