When should you NOT choose Devil Club?
We'd rather tell you before you pay. Devil Club isn't for everyone — and forcing it where it doesn't fit costs you money and peace of mind. If you recognize yourself in any of these cases, there's a better option for you than us, and we'll point you to it.
We're not for you if…
You just want the cheapest possible LLC
If your only priority is the formation price and not ongoing compliance, there are cheaper DIY providers. We charge to run the LLC all year — formation, Registered Agent, filings, bookkeeping and governance — not for the one-off paperwork.
You need binding tax advice
We are not lawyers or licensed CPA/EA. We prepare and file your federal returns and give you the information to decide, but if you need a binding tax opinion on your personal situation, a licensed professional signs that — and we tell you when it's needed.
You're a startup raising VC funding
If you're going to raise capital from funds, your natural vehicle is a Delaware C-Corp (for preferences, the option pool and what investors expect), not an LLC. A venture-specialized provider fits better there.
You have real US activity you haven't analyzed
US employees, a warehouse, an office, physical presence or effective operation in the country change your tax situation (possible US trade or business / state nexus). Don't set up the structure without a prior tax analysis — and in your case, that analysis comes before us.
You think an LLC alone erases your taxes
It doesn't. If you're a tax resident in your country, your personal tax obligation still exists under the law of your residence — the LLC is a structure and compliance tool, not a trick to avoid filing. If that's what you're after, you'll be disappointed with us and with your tax authority.
You're looking for opacity or to hide
We work with traceability: an auditable Governance Ledger, documents with a verifiable hash, FBAR and BEA when they apply. If what you want is a structure to hide ownership or funds, we're not your provider — and besides, that route protects against almost nothing today.
So who is it for?
For the founder operating remotely — course creator, agency, SaaS, consultant or nomad — who wants a US LLC run properly all year, with real compliance, documented governance and support, without building a tax department. If that's you, see who we are.
We'd rather lose a sale that doesn't fit than gain you as a frustrated client. If you're unsure whether you're our case, write to us at [email protected] and we'll tell you honestly — even if the answer is "no."
