Formation, EIN, business banking, and Stripe, handled end to end for founders who don't live in the US and don't want to figure out the IRS alone. No SSN required. No trip to the US required.
Turkish residents are building real businesses and hitting the same wall every time. Stripe rejects them. Wise limits them. Mercury is US-only. You earned the money and can't touch it.
Uncle Sam is behind you. A US LLC with a US bank account is the single credential that unlocks all of it.
We know the feeling. A US LLC changes the math entirely.
Your money lands in a US bank account, in USD, under US law. No currency collapse. No capital controls. No government outside the United States has jurisdiction over what's inside it.
Turkish lira lost over 80% of its value against the dollar in the last five years. German founders face a combined tax burden above 47% once social contributions are counted. Meanwhile a single-member New Mexico LLC, owned by a non-resident with no US operations, owes the IRS nothing on income earned outside the US.
This isn't a loophole. It's how the US tax code works for foreign owners. We've set up the same structure hundreds of times. The IRS knows about it. It's fully compliant.
Note: you remain responsible for declaring income under your home country's tax laws. This is US tax treatment only. Consult a local tax advisor for your personal situation.
Most founders come to us for one reason, and discover the other five along the way.
US processors favor US entities with US bank accounts. Without one, non-residents get flagged, limited, or rejected outright.
A USD invoice from a US LLC, paid into a US bank account, removes the friction of an international wire to a foreign entity.
An LLC shields personal assets from business liability, wherever the owner happens to live.
Foreign-owned LLCs with no US operations typically owe no US federal income tax on foreign-sourced income. Still requires annual filing, we handle that.
Platforms, marketplaces, and vendors that require or favor a US company become available.
100% ownership, no visa, no SSN, no trip to the US. Full US market access without US residency.
We've done this enough times to know exactly where non-residents get stuck, usually the EIN and the bank address. Here's the order that actually works.
All packages include LLC formation, EIN support, registered agent/address/phone setup, a starter web page, and a $100 Anchor AI coupon.
No. Formation, EIN, banking, and Stripe can all be completed remotely. The only exception is if a client chooses a traditional bank that requires an in-person branch visit, which we don't recommend.
Yes. Non-residents apply through a separate IRS process by phone or fax. EIN support is included in every package.
New Mexico, for most founders. It has a low one-time filing fee, no annual report, and simple maintenance. We'll flag it if your specific business is better suited to Wyoming, Delaware, or another state.
Typically 2 to 4 weeks from filing to a live bank account and Stripe connection. The EIN step is usually the pace-setter.
The US won't tax you on foreign-sourced income earned through a foreign-owned LLC with no US operations. Your home country's rules are separate and vary -- many founders consult a local accountant once they're set up. What we can say clearly: the US side of the equation is zero federal income tax.
Three things annually: (1) New Mexico has no annual LLC report or recurring state franchise fee, (2) BOI is currently not required for U.S.-created LLCs under FinCEN rules, and (3) Form 5472 with the IRS if the LLC had any reportable transactions. We track all of these and remind you before any deadline.
