A U.S. LLC for content creators, YouTubers and streamers

An LLC for content creators is a U.S. company that signs your brand deals, invoices sponsors and receives platform payouts, so the business runs in the company's name instead of yours. YouTubers, streamers, podcasters and newsletter writers use it to look like the business they already are. With EXNNA you form it in New Mexico (NM), a U.S. state, online in about two minutes, for $200 with State fees included.

Why do creators form a U.S. LLC?

Because sponsors, agencies and platforms are used to working with companies. A U.S. LLC gives you:

• A company that signs. Brand deals, agency contracts and licensing agreements are signed by the LLC.
• Invoices from a U.S. business. Sponsors pay a company invoice, in dollars, the way their finance team expects.
• One place for payouts. Platform earnings, sponsorships and merch sales land in the company's accounts.
• Limited liability. The company's obligations stay with the company, within the limits of the law.

Where and how you pay tax depends on where you live and what the LLC does, not on the State where you form it.

Can creators form an LLC from outside the U.S.?

Yes. Anyone can form one, from anywhere, with or without a passport, except people in the few countries under U.S. sanctions. You don't need a visa or an SSN, and no ID documents are needed. Creators from Brazil and Japan follow exactly the same steps. The full picture for founders abroad is in U.S. LLC for non-residents.

Does an LLC for content creators keep your name private?

On the State record, yes. A New Mexico LLC's Articles of Organization, the filing that creates the company, don't have to list owners or managers. EXNNA signs as organizer and our registered agent, the company's official contact in the State, appears on the record. Your audience knows your channel; the public record shows the company. More in how an anonymous LLC works.

Banks and payment providers still verify who owns the company, privately, under their own rules.

What does an LLC for content creators need to get paid?

The EIN is the company's tax number with the IRS. You can get it without an SSN: see how to get an EIN without an SSN. EXNNA applies for you for $50 with your formation, and your LLC documents never wait for it. For the account itself, read opening a U.S. bank account for a non-resident LLC. Each provider runs its own checks and decides.
