Common Concerns
Questions Bahamian founders ask
We've helped hundreds of Bahamian entrepreneurs form US companies. Here are the most common concerns.
Do I need a Social Security Number?
No. Bahamian founders can form a US LLC and obtain an EIN (Tax ID) without a Social Security Number. We handle the entire application process for you.
Can I do everything remotely?
Yes. The entire process is 100% online. You never need to visit the US to form your LLC, open a bank account, or manage compliance.
How does the Bahamas tax-free status interact with a US LLC?
The Bahamas has no income tax, capital gains tax, or corporate tax. A single-member US LLC is tax-transparent in the US. As a Bahamian resident, you benefit from both the Bahamas zero-tax environment and the pass-through nature of a US LLC.
Can I open a US bank account?
Yes. We help you open a US business bank account remotely from the Bahamas. No visit required. Since the BSD is pegged to the USD, your transactions are straightforward.
Can I use Stripe with a US company?
Yes. With a US LLC, you get full access to Stripe, PayPal, and other US payment processors. Many Bahamian founders form a US LLC specifically because Stripe is limited or unavailable in the Bahamas. A US LLC gives you a US Stripe account with lower fees.
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.
