Non-Resident FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions for Global Founders

Straightforward answers regarding foreign ownership, banking, taxation, and legal compliance.

Can I form a US LLC if I am not a US citizen and do not live in the United States?+
Yes, absolutely. US law allows foreign individuals and non-resident aliens to own and operate a US LLC or corporation 100% remotely. You do not need to travel to the United States, hold a US visa, or have a US Social Security Number (SSN).
How do I obtain an IRS EIN without a Social Security Number (SSN)?+
Foreign applicants without an SSN or ITIN obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) by submitting IRS Form SS-4 with 'Foreign' designated as the responsible party. Nanicto coordinates this submission directly with the IRS International Division and tracks the application until your official CP 575 notice is issued.
Can a non-resident open a real US commercial bank account remotely?+
Yes. Modern US commercial fintech banks (such as Mercury, Relay Financial, and Wise Business) allow non-resident owners to open FDIC-insured US business accounts online. They require your filed Articles of Organization, signed Operating Agreement, IRS EIN confirmation notice, and a valid international passport.
How does US taxation work for a foreign-owned Single-Member LLC?+
A single-member LLC owned by a non-resident alien is classified by default as a 'disregarded entity' for US federal tax purposes. If your company has no US employees, no physical office in the US, and does not conduct dependent agent activities within the US, you generally do not generate 'Effectively Connected Income' (ECI) and may owe zero US federal income tax. However, the IRS mandates that foreign-owned LLCs file annual informational reporting via Form 5472 and Form 1120. We connect clients with international CPA partners to ensure strict compliance.
Why do so many international founders choose New Mexico?+
New Mexico is widely recognized as the most cost-effective state for non-resident founders. Unlike California ($800/yr), Delaware ($300/yr), or Nevada ($350/yr), New Mexico imposes $0 annual report fees and $0 annual franchise taxes. Furthermore, New Mexico does not publicly publish member or manager names in its online registry, ensuring strong privacy.
Can I accept credit card payments through Stripe with my US LLC?+
Yes. With a valid US LLC, an IRS EIN, and a US business checking account, you can apply for a US Stripe account. This gives your business the ability to charge customers globally in USD, access Stripe Radar fraud defenses, and eliminate multi-currency conversion losses.
What ongoing annual compliance requirements will my US company have?+
Your ongoing obligations typically include: (1) Maintaining a continuous US Registered Agent, (2) Filing state annual reports (if required by your chosen state; New Mexico has none), and (3) Submitting IRS informational reporting (such as Form 5472 / Form 1120 for foreign-owned single-member LLCs) by April 15th each year.
What is included in Nanicto's Global Founders Formation Package?+
Our package includes entity name availability search, Secretary of State filing coordination, 1 full year of US Registered Agent service with digital mail forwarding, customized Operating Agreement, Banking Resolution document, IRS Form SS-4 preparation, and dedicated advisory through bank account and payment gateway onboarding.
