Why a US LLC?
A US LLC fits if you serve clients in the USA or need US payment rails. It can be the wrong choice, though, depending on tax residence, business model, ownership and filing obligations. Generally the LLC pays no federal income tax (pass-through, taxed at owner level); there is no minimum capital, and 100% foreign ownership is possible.
We handle the incorporation of your US LLC, including EIN (Employer Identification Number), ITIN application (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), sales tax registration and filing. All 100% remote.
A US LLC is usually taxed at owner level, not at company level
Taxes with a US LLC: What Pass-Through Means
A US LLC is generally tax-transparent (pass-through entity): the LLC itself usually pays no federal income tax. Profits are attributed to the owner and taxed where the owner is tax-resident. States like Wyoming and Nevada additionally have no state income tax. Reporting obligations such as Form 5472 still apply. How much tax is ultimately due depends on residence, place of management and documentation. The US LLC is often used as a holding or by international e-commerce businesses looking to serve the US market.
