If you are thinking about entering the US market, growing your e-commerce business, or reaching international customers, you do not have to wait for the new year.
Instead of starting to plan your 2027 goals in January, you can complete your company formation before 2026 ends and enter the new year ready.
Forming a company in the US means more than creating an official business registration. A properly formed US company is an important step toward bringing your business to the international market, working with customers in the US, operating on e-commerce platforms, and building a professional foundation for your company.
For entrepreneurs in Türkiye planning to enter the US market, the final months of the year can be a good opportunity to prepare a 2027 business plan and establish the necessary company infrastructure.
So why should you act before 2026 ends instead of waiting for 2027?
1. Enter 2027 with Your Company Ready
For many entrepreneurs, a new year means new projects, new products, and new markets.
But starting to form your company on January 1 can delay the start of your business plan because you still need to choose a business structure and a state, prepare formation documents, apply for an EIN, and complete other necessary steps.
Completing these preparations before 2026 ends instead can help you start 2027 with your company's basic structure in place.
The following steps are generally considered in the US company formation process:
- Choosing a business structure
- Selecting the state where the company will be formed
- Forming an LLC or Corporation
- Appointing a Registered Agent
- Applying for an EIN
- Preparing the required company documents
- Evaluating licenses and registrations required for the business activity
- Preparing banking and payment infrastructure
The necessary steps may vary by business structure, field of activity, and chosen state.
The goal is not merely to form a company, but to create a structure suited to your business model that will not cause problems later.
2. Take the First Step Toward Entering the US Market
The US is one of the world's largest and most competitive consumer markets.
Growth in e-commerce in particular makes the US market even more important for international entrepreneurs. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, US e-commerce sales reached approximately $340.2 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 12.2% from the same period a year earlier.
Amazon, Shopify, TikTok Shop, Etsy, and other online sales channels now make it possible to reach millions of potential customers without opening a physical store in the US.
But if you are considering building a long-term business in the US market, having the right company infrastructure can make your operations much more orderly.
A company formed in the US helps you separate your brand, contracts, business transactions, and financial processes from your personal affairs.
For this reason, evaluating your company structure at the beginning of your business plan can be a healthier approach for many entrepreneurs than saying, "I will make sales first and think about the company later."
3. You Can Form a US Company from Türkiye
The idea that you must live in the US to form a company there is quite common.
Yet foreign entrepreneurs can form a Corporation in the US with a suitable business structure and choice of state.
This means you can own a company in the US while living in Türkiye.
A Registered Agent is generally required in the state where your company is formed. A Registered Agent is a person or organization responsible for receiving official and legal notices on behalf of the company. The U.S. Small Business Administration also states that companies such as LLCs and Corporations must have a Registered Agent in the relevant state when registering.
Because this service can be provided professionally, you do not need to be physically present in the US solely to meet the Registered Agent requirement.
At Simple Corporate Solutions, we offer entrepreneurs who want to form a US company from Türkiye a system that lets them manage the entire process online.
4. LLC or Corporation? Choose the Right Structure from the Start
One of the first questions from entrepreneurs who want to form a US company is usually this:
Should I form an LLC or a Corporation?
There is no single answer that fits everyone.
The right business structure may depend on:
- Your business model
- The number of owners
- Your activities in the US
- Your plans to seek investment
- Your long-term goals
- Your tax situation
An LLC is a business structure often preferred by small businesses and entrepreneurs because of its flexible management structure.
A C Corporation may be preferred by businesses that plan to bring in investors, create a share structure, or eventually build a larger corporate organization.
For this reason, instead of generalizations often seen online such as "everyone should form a Wyoming LLC" or "Delaware is always the best state," the company structure should be evaluated based on the business's actual needs.
5. Do Not Choose a State Based Only on Formation Fees
"What is the best state to form a company in the US?" is one of the questions we hear most often.
States such as Wyoming and Delaware are quite popular among international entrepreneurs. But a popular state is not automatically the right choice for every business.
When choosing the state where your company will be formed, you should consider more than the initial formation cost:
- Where the company will operate
- Annual state obligations
- Annual Report requirements
- Franchise fees
- Registered Agent requirements
- Where the owner and employees are located
- Whether the business has physical operations
For example, if you form a company in one state but actually operate in another, you may need an additional registration in the second state called Foreign Qualification. The U.S. Small Business Administration also notes that a company operating in multiple states may need additional state registration. That means additional costs.
So the first question when forming a company should not be "Which state is cheapest?" but "Which state is right for my business model?"
6. Include the EIN Process in Your Company Formation Plan
Completing the state registration is an important step, but for most businesses the process does not end there.
One of the next important steps is obtaining an EIN, or Employer Identification Number.
An EIN is a federal tax identification number issued to businesses by the IRS and is used in many business transactions.
An EIN plays an important role in opening a business bank account, using some payment systems, hiring employees, and handling federal tax matters.
The EIN application method for entrepreneurs living in Türkiye whose principal place of business is outside the US may differ from that for applicants operating within the US. The IRS offers several application options for international applicants.
For this reason, planning the company registration and EIN process together may be better than leaving company formation until the final days of the year.
7. If Your New Year Goal Is Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, TikTok Shop, or Online Sales, Prepare Your Infrastructure Now
Perhaps your 2027 goal is to sell products to the US.
Perhaps you want to create a new brand on Amazon, grow your Shopify store, sell through TikTok Shop, or serve customers in the US.
Or perhaps you plan to bring a business that is already successful in Türkiye to the US market.
Whichever model you choose, entering a new market takes more than preparing a product or service.
Your company structure, EIN, payment infrastructure, business registrations, required licenses, and compliance obligations that may arise later are also part of the business plan.
Starting to plan these in 2026 can let you spend your energy on your customers and growing your business in 2027, rather than only on paperwork.
