Firstbase vs USLLCGlobal: wait for an EIN, or buy one that already exists?

Firstbase.io forms a brand-new LLC and then applies for your EIN — a process that runs from days to several weeks. USLLCGlobal sells a ready-made Wyoming LLC whose EIN already exists, transferred into your name within 24 hours. If speed is the point, the difference is the whole story.

The short answer

Firstbase forms; USLLCGlobal hands over a working company

Firstbase.io is a formation platform. You choose a name and state, Firstbase files the Articles of Organization (or incorporates a C-corp), and only after the entity is approved does it submit your EIN application to the IRS. For founders without a US Social Security Number, that EIN step is the slow part — the IRS handles those applications manually, so it can take one to several weeks.

USLLCGlobal sells ready-made companies. The Wyoming LLC already exists, it is in good standing, and — the part that actually unblocks you — its EIN is already issued. You verify your identity, pay through secure Stripe checkout, and full ownership transfers into your name within 24 hours. There is nothing to wait for and no paperwork on your side.

Put plainly: with Firstbase you are buying the process of getting a company and an EIN. With USLLCGlobal you are buying a company and EIN that already exist. If you need to open a bank account or take a payment this week, that distinction is everything.

Both are legitimate routes. If you have a custom name in mind and can comfortably wait two to four weeks, forming new with Firstbase is fine. If the clock matters — a marketplace deadline, a client waiting to pay, a Stripe account on hold — ready-made wins on speed every time. USLLCGlobal also offers a brand-new registration in your own name for $549 if the exact name is what you care about.

Pick the right tool

Who should choose which

Choose Firstbase if…You want a specific custom name, you're comfortable waiting weeks for the EIN, and you want an ongoing platform with bookkeeping add-ons and a yearly subscription.
Choose USLLCGlobal (ready-made) if…You need to bank and take payments now. The EIN already exists, the company transfers in 24 hours, and a neutral existing name is fine.
Choose USLLCGlobal (new $549) if…The exact name matters more than speed, but you still want one provider to file the LLC and obtain the EIN for you, with privacy in Wyoming.
State choice

Why our ready-made companies are Wyoming, not Delaware

Firstbase often defaults founders to Delaware, which makes sense if you're raising venture capital and issuing stock options. For most solo founders, freelancers and online sellers, that's overkill. Wyoming has no state income tax, no public register of LLC members, low annual fees, and strong charging-order protection. Your ownership isn't searchable online, and the maintenance burden is minimal.

Delaware still has its place — outside investors and a future C-corp conversion are the classic reasons. If that's you, we can help there too. But if your goal is a clean, private, low-cost US entity you can use immediately, Wyoming is the better default — and it's what every ready-made company we sell is built on. See our US ready-made LLC overview for the full picture.

The EIN is the bottleneck — so we removed it. Read how instant activation works and why a pre-issued EIN is the single biggest time-saver for a new US company.

Firstbase vs USLLCGlobal — questions, answered

What is the difference between Firstbase and USLLCGlobal?
Firstbase.io is a formation platform: it files a brand-new LLC or C-corp for you and then applies for your EIN afterward, which typically takes days to several weeks. USLLCGlobal sells a ready-made Wyoming LLC whose EIN already exists — ownership is transferred into your name within 24 hours, so you can open banking and start trading the same day.
How long does Firstbase take to get an EIN?
With Firstbase, the EIN is requested after your new company is formed. For applicants without a US Social Security Number this commonly takes one to several weeks because the IRS processes the application manually by fax or mail. USLLCGlobal's ready-made companies already have their EIN issued, so there is no wait.
Is buying a ready-made LLC instead of forming a new one legal?
Yes. Buying an existing LLC and transferring its membership interest is a standard, legal transaction in the United States. USLLCGlobal updates the company's ownership and the IRS responsible party (Form 8822-B) as part of the transfer, so the company is fully and legally yours.
Can I choose my own company name with USLLCGlobal?
Ready-made companies come with an existing neutral name so you get instant activation with the EIN already in place. If a specific custom name matters more than speed, USLLCGlobal also registers a brand-new LLC in your chosen name for $549 — this takes longer but lets you pick the name.
Which is cheaper, Firstbase or USLLCGlobal?
Firstbase formation starts around $399 plus state fees and a yearly platform subscription. A USLLCGlobal ready-made company with its EIN already issued is $1,000 one-time, or $549 for a new registration in your own name. You are paying for the EIN already existing and same-day activation rather than waiting weeks.
Does USLLCGlobal use Wyoming or Delaware?
USLLCGlobal's ready-made companies are Wyoming LLCs. Wyoming has no state income tax, no public register of LLC members, low annual fees and strong asset protection. Firstbase typically defaults to Delaware. For most solo founders and online businesses Wyoming is the cheaper, more private choice.
