The entity in the US was founded by me at the same time the other entity, outside of the US was.

I want the entity in the US to be a subsidiary of the entity outside of the US rather than under my own private holdings.




Without knowing all the details (i.e what state your company is in, if it has multiple locations, etc.), I would reach out to the state the LLC is registered in and submit a "Certificate of Merger" where the surviving entity is a Foreign (i.e not in the same state/country). NOTE: You'll also have to file a Certificate of Amendment stating that the LLC is accepting a Merger. You most likely will have to file similar paperwork in the acquiring company's HQ location.

ALTERNATIVELY, If you'd just like to transfer the LLC to a foreign entity, you can file a "Certificate of Transfer" (Section 18-213) - but I believe this isn't your specific use case.

NOTE: I used Delaware as an example, your own state's regulations may vary. For more questions, consult a lawyer or your Registered Agent Service.
