# Cannki Kicker — Full Reference > Cannki Kicker is an all-in-one platform for founders (including non-US residents) to form and run a US company: formation, EIN (no SSN), ITIN, registered agent, a bank-acceptable US address, US banking and payments, bookkeeping, and foreign-owned-LLC tax filing — in one dashboard. ## Company Cannki Kicker helps founders worldwide form US entities and operate them end to end. Unlike competitors that require stitching together 3–4 vendors, Kicker unifies formation, EIN/ITIN, registered agent, mail/address, banking, payments, bookkeeping, and tax in one platform with transparent pricing: formation is free and you pay only the state filing fee. Kicker serves founders building US businesses worldwide, with formation available in all 50 states. Guarantees: 100% accuracy, on-time filing, 30-day money-back. Security: 256-bit SSL encryption and encrypted document storage.

Non-residents can form one with no SSN, no US address, and no visa. Popular states: Wyoming (privacy, low fees), New Mexico (lowest cost, no annual report), Delaware (investor familiarity). Kicker files the articles of organization, provides an operating agreement and registered agent, and can bundle the EIN and a bank-acceptable address. Typical flow: choose state → we file → state approval → EIN → bank. Per-state guides at https://kicker.cannki.com/form-llc/. ## Form a C-Corporation URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/form-c-corporation A C-corp is a separate taxable entity, best for raising venture capital, issuing stock/options, and admitting unlimited or foreign shareholders. Delaware is the default for investor familiarity. Two audiences: VC-track startups (a Stripe Atlas alternative) and non-residents who want a clean tax separation from personal income. EIN, registered agent, and banking can be bundled. Per-state guides at https://kicker.cannki.com/form-c-corporation/. ## Form an S-Corporation URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/form-s-corporation An S-corp is an IRS tax election (Form 2553), not an entity type — an LLC or corporation elects it. It can reduce self-employment tax by splitting income into a reasonable salary plus distributions. Eligibility: ≤100 shareholders, all US persons, one class of stock — so non-residents are NOT eligible (route them to an LLC or C-corp). Best for profitable US-resident owners paying themselves. Per-state guides at https://kicker.cannki.com/form-s-corporation/. ## Form a Nonprofit URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/form-nonprofit Forming a nonprofit means state incorporation plus applying to the IRS for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status (Form 1023, or the streamlined 1023-EZ for smaller orgs). Requires a board of directors and a charitable mission; donations become tax-deductible. Kicker handles incorporation, EIN, registered agent, and the exemption filing. Per-state guides at https://kicker.cannki.com/form-nonprofit/. ## Get an EIN (no SSN required) URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/ein An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is your business's federal Tax ID, required to open a US bank account, hire, and file taxes. It is free from the IRS on Form SS-4. Non-residents without an SSN or ITIN can still get one — Kicker files SS-4 (entering "Foreign" where the SSN would go) by fax, typically 5–15 business days vs 4–6 weeks by mail. You do NOT need an ITIN first. ## Get an ITIN URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/itin An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is for individuals who must file US taxes but cannot get an SSN. It is applied for on Form W-7. Kicker works as/through a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) so you do not have to mail your original passport to the IRS. EIN (business) and ITIN (individual) are different — most non-resident LLC owners need an EIN, and an ITIN only when they have a personal US filing obligation. ## Registered Agent URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/registered-agent A registered agent is a person/company with a physical in-state address that receives legal and state documents on your behalf — required in every state. Industry pricing is ~$100–300/yr. Kicker provides agents in all 50 states with same-day document scanning and instant notifications. Note: a registered-agent address is NOT a general business or banking address — use Mail Room for that. ## Mail Room (virtual US business address) URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/mail-room A real US street address that banks accept — unlike PO boxes, UPS Store boxes, or registered-agent addresses, which banks and the IRS often reject. Mail is scanned on arrival; you can read, forward, or shred each item from one inbox. Used for business registration mail, compliance notices, and bank-account applications. ## BOI Filing (FinCEN) URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/boi-filing Last updated: 2026. Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting is required under the Corporate Transparency Act and filed with FinCEN. Per FinCEN's March 2025 interim final rule, US-formed companies and US persons are exempt; only entities formed abroad and registered to do business in the US still report. Kicker files where required and monitors for rule changes. ## Bookkeeping URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/bookkeeping Founder-focused bookkeeping: automated transaction categorization plus human review, in the same dashboard as formation, banking, and tax. Monthly reconciliation, financial statements, and clean books for tax time — without spreadsheets. ## Tax Filing URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/tax-filing Business tax preparation handled by professionals, including the filings non-resident-owned LLCs must not miss: a foreign-owned single-member LLC must file Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 — the penalty is $25,000 per unfiled form. Due April 15; Form 7004 extends to October 15. Kicker also handles federal/state corporate and franchise filings. ## Kicker Pay URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/kicker-pay Kicker Pay is the payments product: accept cards, ACH, and 135+ currencies, send invoices, and receive next-business-day payouts to your account. Transparent pricing (e.g. 2.9% + $0.30 per card transaction), PCI DSS Level 1, no monthly fee to start. Built into the Kicker platform alongside bookkeeping and banking. ## Kicker Voice URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/kicker-voice A smart business phone: a dedicated number with calls, SMS, voicemail, and call handling for growing teams. ## Trademark URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/trademark Brand search, USPTO filing, and registration tracking to protect your name and logo. ## Pricing URL: https://kicker.cannki.com/pricing Formation is free — you pay only the state filing fee. Plans add registered agent, EIN, compliance, and support; the platform replaces 3–4 separate vendors.
