Common Concerns

Questions Australian founders ask

We've helped hundreds of Australian entrepreneurs form US companies. Here are the most common concerns.

Do I need a Social Security Number?

No. Australian founders can form a US LLC and obtain an EIN without an SSN. Your Australian passport is sufficient identification.

How does ATO reporting work?

As an Australian tax resident, you report worldwide income to the ATO. The Australia-US Tax Treaty prevents double taxation. You may need to report foreign income on your individual tax return.

Can I keep my Australian company too?

Yes. Many Australian founders operate both an Australian Pty Ltd and a US LLC. The US LLC handles US-facing revenue while your Australian entity manages domestic operations.

Can I open a US bank account?

Yes. We help you open a US business bank account remotely. No US visit required. Manage USD payments and transfers entirely online.

Will I be taxed in both countries?

The Australia-US tax treaty prevents double taxation. A single-member LLC is tax-transparent in the US, meaning profits pass through to your Australian tax return.

How long does it take?

Most LLCs are formed within 1-2 weeks depending on the state. Your EIN typically follows within another 1-2 weeks, and you can apply for your US bank account as soon as it arrives.

FAQ

US Company & LLC Questions from Australia

Everything Australian founders need to know about forming a US LLC

No. The entire LLC formation process is handled remotely. You do not need to travel to the US at any point. We file all documents with the state on your behalf.

The Australia-US Tax Treaty prevents double taxation on the same income. As an Australian resident with a US LLC, you report income to the ATO and can claim foreign income tax offsets for any US taxes paid.

Wyoming and Delaware are the most popular choices for Australian founders. Wyoming has no state income tax, low fees ($60/year), and strong privacy protections. Delaware is preferred for businesses seeking US venture capital.

We help you apply for an EIN (Employer Identification Number) directly with the IRS. No SSN is required. Your Australian passport information is used for the application.

Yes. As an Australian tax resident, you must report worldwide income to the ATO. This includes income from your US LLC. You may also need to report foreign financial assets.

LLC formation takes 3-7 business days. EIN application takes 2-4 weeks for non-US residents. Bank account setup adds 1-2 weeks. Most Australian founders are fully operational within 6 weeks.

Yes. You do not need a Social Security Number to open a US business bank account. Your EIN, LLC formation documents, and passport are sufficient. We help you through the entire process.

Yes. US LLCs are open to non-citizens and non-residents. You do not need a US visa, Green Card, or Social Security Number. Thousands of Australian founders form US companies each year.
