Common Concerns
Questions Kenyan founders ask
We've helped hundreds of Kenyan entrepreneurs form US companies. Here are the most common concerns.
Do I need a Social Security Number?
No. Kenyan 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.
Will I be taxed in both countries?
Kenya and the US do not have a comprehensive double taxation treaty. However, a single-member LLC is tax-transparent in the US, and KRA may allow foreign tax credits to reduce double taxation. Consult a local tax professional.
Can I access Stripe and PayPal from Kenya?
Stripe operates in Kenya through Paystack with limited features. PayPal is restricted to send-only. A US LLC with a US bank account gives you full US Stripe, full PayPal Business, and complete payment processing capabilities.
Can I open a US bank account?
Yes. We help you open a US business bank account remotely from Kenya. No visit required. You can receive USD payments and manage funds online.
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.

FAQ
US Company & LLC Questions from Kenya
Everything Kenyan founders need to know about forming a US LLC or US company
M-Pesa is excellent for domestic KES transactions but does not support international credit card processing, subscription billing, or e-commerce checkout for global customers. A US LLC with Stripe fills this gap for international sales.
PayPal in Kenya is restricted to send-only. You can send money but cannot receive payments. A US LLC with PayPal Business gives you full send and receive capabilities.
Use Wise for competitive KES rates, M-Pesa international receive, wire transfer, or other services. Transfers typically take 1-3 business days.
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.
Wyoming is the most popular choice for Kenyan founders. It offers zero state income tax, low annual fees ($60/year), strong privacy protections, and a simple compliance structure. Delaware is preferred for startups seeking US venture capital.
We help you apply for an EIN (Employer Identification Number) directly with the IRS. No SSN is required. The EIN is your business tax ID and is needed for banking, filing taxes, and hiring contractors.
Yes. We help you open a US business bank account entirely online from Kenya. The process typically takes 1-2 weeks after your LLC and EIN are established.
You will need to file an annual report with the state (varies by state), maintain a registered agent, and file US tax returns. We help you stay compliant with reminders and filing support.
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 Kenyan founders are fully operational within 6 weeks.
