1. What US LLC Light provides

US LLC Light provides guided U.S. LLC setup and yearly compliance-preparation support for supported foreign-owned single-member U.S. LLCs.

Depending on your package, our service may include guided intake, formation coordination, registered agent and address coordination, company document preparation, EIN application support, document organization, annual reminders, annual questionnaires, compliance-preparation workflows, digital signing coordination, submission support, and compliance evidence archiving.

We aim to make the setup and recurring administration of your U.S. LLC clearer, more organized, and easier to manage. Our role is to support the workflow, not to replace your own legal, tax, accounting, banking, or business judgment.

2. Not legal, tax, or accounting advice

US LLC Light is not a law firm, CPA firm, accounting firm, bank, payment processor, investment adviser, or fiduciary.

US LLC Light is a brand and private service of Light Founder Systems LLC. It is not a government agency and is not affiliated with the IRS.

EINs are issued by the IRS without an application fee. Our package price covers the guided setup, preparation, coordination, documents, and ongoing support described on our website.

The information, templates, workflows, checklists, forms, examples, and support we provide are designed for general guidance and operational support. They are not personalized legal, tax, accounting, bookkeeping, financial, banking, securities, immigration, or investment advice.

Using our website or services does not create a lawyer-client, CPA-client, accountant-client, tax-adviser, fiduciary, or professional advisory relationship.

3. Your situation may require professional advice

A U.S. LLC is not suitable for everyone.

Your country of residence, tax residence, citizenship, place of management, business activity, customer base, ownership structure, banking setup, and local legal and tax rules may affect whether a U.S. LLC is appropriate for you.

This is especially important if you are connected to a country with controlled-foreign-company rules, permanent-establishment rules, place-of-management rules, substance rules, reporting obligations, VAT/GST rules, anti-avoidance rules, or similar regimes.

You are responsible for obtaining qualified legal, tax, accounting, or professional advice where your circumstances require it.

4. General information and educational content

Our guides, articles, FAQ, examples, checklists, and help content are provided for general information.

They are intended to help you understand common issues around foreign-owned single-member U.S. LLCs, but they may not apply to your specific facts.

You should verify important decisions with a qualified professional before relying on them.

5. Compliance-preparation support

Our annual support may include reminders, questionnaires, document checklists, state annual report support, Form 5472 / pro forma 1120 preparation workflows, FBAR screening, digital signing coordination, submission support, and compliance evidence archiving.

These workflows are based on the information you provide.

We help organize and prepare supported workflows within the scope of your package. We do not provide individualized tax conclusions, CPA review, legal review, bookkeeping, audit, attestation, or full accounting services unless expressly agreed through a qualified professional.

Reminders, checklists, questionnaires, prepared forms, and dashboard workflows are designed to support your process. They do not replace your responsibility to monitor deadlines, provide information on time, review documents, sign where required, and obtain professional advice where needed.

If your answers suggest that your case may be more complex, we may recommend that you work with a qualified CPA, attorney, accountant, tax adviser, or other specialist.

6. Your responsibility to provide and review information

We rely on the information you provide.

You are responsible for providing complete, accurate, current, and non-misleading information. You are also responsible for reviewing filings, forms, questionnaires, authorizations, documents, addresses, ownership details, tax information, and compliance information before approving, signing, or instructing us to submit anything.

If you approve, sign, or authorize a filing or document, you confirm that the information is accurate, complete, current, and authorized.

Some steps may require separate approval, digital signature, wet-ink signature, identity verification, postal authorization, tax authorization, registered agent consent, organizer authorization, FinCEN authorization, IRS authorization, USPS Form 1583, FinCEN Form 114a, or another provider-specific or government-specific authorization before we can act.

7. No guaranteed third-party outcomes

We provide support within our service scope, but some outcomes depend on government authorities or independent third parties.

We cannot guarantee:

• state filing approval;
• company name availability;
• processing times;
• EIN issuance or timing;
• IRS acceptance;
• FinCEN acceptance;
• bank account approval;
• payment processor approval;
• registered agent, address-provider, mail-provider, or filing-provider acceptance;
• mail delivery, scanning, forwarding, package handling, or address verification times;
• marketplace, online seller, bank, payment-provider, licensing, or business-verification acceptance;
• a specific tax result.

Government authorities, banks, payment processors, registered agents, address providers, mail providers, the IRS, FinCEN, couriers, filing systems, and other third parties make their own decisions and may change their requirements.

A delay, refusal, suspension, termination, policy change, fee change, verification refusal, or changed requirement by a third party does not automatically mean that US LLC Light has failed to provide its service.

8. Banking and payment processors

We may provide general information about documents commonly requested by banks, fintech platforms, and payment processors.

We do not guarantee that any bank, fintech platform, or payment processor will approve, maintain, or continue an account for your LLC.

Account approval depends on the provider's own requirements, risk policies, identity checks, business review, country risk, transaction profile, business model, address rules, and compliance procedures.

9. Registered agent, address, and mail services

Registered agent, business address, virtual office, mail scanning, mail forwarding, package handling, and related services may be provided by independent third-party providers.

A registered agent address or business address is not the same as a physical office, tax residence, place of management, substance presence, storefront, warehouse, or proof that your business is operated from the United States.

You must not use any address, registered agent, virtual office, or mail service to misrepresent your physical presence, regulatory status, tax position, licensing status, place of management, storefront status, marketplace-verification status, or business operations.

Mail handling, forwarding, scanning, package acceptance, package storage, package disposal, address formatting, marketplace verification, banking verification, licensing verification, personal-use restrictions, forwarding destinations, and service availability may be limited by provider rules, postal rules, carrier rules, legal requirements, government requirements, and internal procedures.

Provider rules and fees may change. A provider may refuse, return, discard, restrict, suspend, or terminate mail, address, package, verification, forwarding, or related services where allowed by its terms, applicable law, or operational requirements.

10. Public filings and public records

Some information submitted to state authorities or other government bodies may become public record.

This may include the LLC name, filing date, document number, registered agent information, principal office address, mailing address, manager, member, authorized person, organizer, signatory, contact details, or other information required by the relevant filing system.

We may help you use privacy-conscious options within our supported workflow, but we cannot guarantee anonymity, non-public treatment, removal from public records, or suppression by search engines, registries, data brokers, or third-party websites.

11. Third-party references

References to banks, payment processors, registered agents, address providers, mail providers, tax professionals, government agencies, software tools, or other third parties are provided for convenience and general context.

They are not guarantees, endorsements, or promises of approval, availability, suitability, or outcome.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms, privacy policies, fees, procedures, requirements, and decisions.

12. Laws, forms, fees, and procedures may change

Legal rules, tax rules, forms, filing procedures, government fees, deadlines, registered agent requirements, address-provider rules, mail-provider rules, IRS procedures, FinCEN procedures, bank requirements, payment-processor requirements, and compliance practices may change.

We aim to keep our materials and workflows useful and current, but information may become outdated.

We may update, adapt, pause, replace, or discontinue a workflow if laws, forms, provider rules, government procedures, risk rules, or operational requirements change.

You should verify important information before acting, especially where deadlines, penalties, tax treatment, filing obligations, or professional advice are involved.

13. Liability

Our liability is limited as set out in our Terms of Service.

Nothing in this Disclaimer limits any mandatory rights or liability that cannot legally be limited.
