ZenBusiness says non-US citizens can own an LLC, but its terms of use say the service is intended for use in the United States: if you live abroad, ask them before paying. The registered agent is paid from year one, and the checkout offers several add-ons that you can decline one by one. Without an SSN, ZenBusiness says it can help prepare Form SS-4, which goes to the IRS by mail and takes weeks.
