Common Concerns

Questions Ecuadorian founders ask

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

Do I need an SSN or US visa?

No. Ecuadorian citizens can form a US LLC with their cedula de identidad and Ecuadorian passport. No SSN, no visa, and no US travel required.

How does SRI reporting work?

As an Ecuadorian tax resident, you report worldwide income to SRI. While there is no US-Ecuador tax treaty, a single-member LLC is tax-transparent in the US, simplifying your tax position.

Does using USD help me?

Yes. Ecuador uses the US dollar as its official currency since 2000. Your US LLC revenue stays in USD with zero conversion costs between US and Ecuadorian accounts.

Can I use Stripe and US payment processors?

Yes. A US LLC with a US bank account gives you full access to US Stripe, PayPal, and other payment processors. Accept payments globally at standard US rates.

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.

Do I need a US address?

No. Your registered agent service includes a verified US business address for legal mail and state correspondence, so you can run everything from home.
