Firstbase is an all-in-one platform for forming and operating a US company, serving founders from 188+ countries. It handles LLC and C-Corp formation, registered agent services, bookkeeping, and tax filing under one roof. Over 30,000 companies have been incorporated through the platform, with customers collectively raising $3 billion in funding.

Firstbase: Launch and Run a US Company From Anywhere

For digital nomads building a business, one of the biggest structural challenges is establishing a legitimate US entity — especially when you don't live there. Firstbase was built specifically to solve this problem, offering a complete operating system for company formation and ongoing compliance that works regardless of where you're based.

What Firstbase Does

At its core, Firstbase lets you form a US LLC or C-Corporation entirely online, without setting foot in the United States. The process is automated and fast — paperwork, filings, and state registrations are handled on your behalf. But the platform goes well beyond formation.

Once your company is live, Firstbase provides:

  • Registered Agent & Compliance — multi-state registered agent services, annual report filings, and ongoing compliance monitoring
  • Virtual Mailroom — a premium US business address with a physical mailbox that digitizes incoming mail
  • Bookkeeping — full-service accrual accounting with tax-ready financials handled by a dedicated team
  • Tax Filing — corporate and personal tax returns for both LLCs and C-Corps, including sales tax compliance
  • Firstbase One — a bundled subscription combining the above into a single monthly plan

The platform also features a rewards program called Loop, which gives access to up to $350,000 in partner perks from banks, payment processors, and legal service providers.

Why It Makes Sense for Nomads

Digital nomads who earn remotely often need a US company to work with US clients, access better payment processing, open US bank accounts, or raise investment. Doing this through lawyers and accountants in multiple time zones is expensive and slow.

Firstbase consolidates all of it. Whether you're a solo freelancer setting up your first LLC or an international founder incorporating a Delaware C-Corp ahead of a funding round, the platform removes the administrative overhead that typically comes with US business operations.

With founders from 191 countries on the platform and over 30,000 companies incorporated, Firstbase has become one of the most widely used options in the remote-work and startup communities.

Pricing and Plans

Firstbase offers individual services (formation, agent, mailroom, accounting, tax) that can be used standalone, or bundled through Firstbase One. Pricing varies by service tier and is available on their pricing page. For nomads who need ongoing compliance support year-round, the bundled plan typically works out more cost-effective than sourcing each service separately.

A practical choice for location-independent founders who want a real US business structure without the administrative chaos.
