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.
