LLC for E-Commerce
Sell on Amazon & Shopify from Anywhere in the World
A US LLC unlocks Amazon seller accounts, US payment processors, and supplier relationships. No US address or residency required.
Common Challenges
Why international sellers struggle
Without a US business entity, you're locked out of the world's largest e-commerce market.
Amazon Verification Nightmares
Non-US sellers struggle to pass Amazon identity verification without US documents, SSN, or business entity.
Payment Processor Lockouts
Stripe, PayPal, and merchant accounts reject applications from international sellers without a US business.
Supplier Restrictions
US wholesalers and manufacturers refuse to work with foreign individuals. They require a US business entity.
High Transaction Fees
International payment platforms charge 5-10% in fees, eating into your profit margins on every sale.

FAQ
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about LLCs for e-commerce
While Amazon technically accepts international sellers, having a US LLC makes verification much easier and faster. Many non-US sellers report account suspensions or verification issues when selling as individuals. A US LLC with an EIN dramatically improves your chances of account approval and long-term success.
Wyoming is the most popular choice for non-resident e-commerce sellers due to zero state income tax, strong privacy protections, low annual fees ($60), and no requirement to disclose member names publicly. Delaware is another option if you plan to seek venture capital in the future.
With your LLC formation, we help you open a US business bank account 100% remotely. No US visit required. This account can receive your Amazon disbursements, Stripe payouts, and supplier payments directly.
As a non-resident LLC owner, you'll need to file Form 5472 (information return) and potentially Form 1120 (corporate return) annually. If you have no US-source income (products manufactured and sold from outside the US), you likely won't owe US federal income tax.
Yes, your registered agent address serves as your official US business address. Amazon accepts this for verification purposes. We provide a registered agent in Wyoming (or your chosen state) as part of your LLC formation package.
Sales tax requirements depend on where you have "nexus" (business presence). If you use FBA, Amazon handles sales tax collection and remittance in most states. For your own Shopify store, you may need to collect sales tax in states where you have inventory or significant sales.
