Common Concerns
Questions Canadian founders ask
We've helped hundreds of Canadian entrepreneurs form US LLCs. Here are the most common concerns.
Do I need a Social Security Number?
No. Canadian founders can form a US LLC and obtain an EIN without an SSN. Your Canadian passport is sufficient identification.
How does CRA reporting work?
As a Canadian resident, you report worldwide income to the CRA. The Canada-US Tax Treaty prevents double taxation. You may need to file Form T1135 for foreign assets.
Can I keep my Canadian corporation too?
Yes. Many Canadian founders operate both a Canadian corporation and a US LLC. The US LLC handles US-facing revenue while your Canadian corp manages domestic business.
Can I open a US bank account?
Yes. We help you open a US business bank account remotely. As a Canadian, you may also qualify for cross-border banking with RBC or TD.
