Common Concerns

Questions Malaysian founders ask

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

Do I need a Social Security Number?

No. Malaysian founders can form a US LLC and obtain an EIN (Tax ID) without a Social Security Number. Your Malaysian passport and MyKad are sufficient identification.

How does LHDN reporting work?

As a Malaysian tax resident, you report worldwide income to the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN). The US-Malaysia Tax Treaty helps prevent double taxation on the same income.

Can I keep my Malaysian Sdn Bhd too?

Yes. Many Malaysian founders operate both a Malaysian Sdn Bhd and a US LLC. The US LLC handles US-facing revenue while your Malaysian entity manages domestic and regional operations.

Can I open a US bank account?

Yes. We help you open a US business bank account remotely from Malaysia. No visit required. You can receive USD payments and manage funds entirely online.

FAQ

US Company & LLC Questions from Malaysia

Everything Malaysian founders need to know about forming a US LLC or US company

Do I need to visit the US to form an LLC?

No. The entire process is done remotely from Malaysia. You do not need a US visa or travel. We handle all filings electronically.

How does the US-Malaysia Tax Treaty help me?

The US-Malaysia Tax Treaty helps prevent double taxation on the same income. A single-member LLC is tax-transparent in the US, and you report income to LHDN with credits for any US taxes paid.

Which US state should Malaysian founders choose?

Wyoming is the most popular choice for Malaysian founders. It offers zero state income tax, low annual fees ($60), strong privacy protections, and a simple annual compliance process.

Can I use Stripe with a US LLC?

Yes. US Stripe is fully available to US LLCs. You can accept credit card payments in 135+ currencies with funds deposited to your US bank account.

Can I open a US bank account from Malaysia?

Yes. We help you open a US business bank account entirely online. Most Malaysian founders use Mercury or Relay for their US LLC banking needs.

Do I need to file US tax returns?

Yes. A single-member LLC owned by a Malaysian resident must file Form 5472 and Form 1120 with the IRS annually, even if no US taxes are owed. We can help you with this.

How do I move money from the US to Malaysia?

You can use Wise (TransferWise), direct wire transfers, or Malaysian banking services to send funds from your US bank account to your Malaysian bank account at competitive rates.

Is a US LLC the same as a US company?

An LLC (Limited Liability Company) is the most popular type of US company for non-residents. It combines personal liability protection with tax flexibility. Unlike a corporation, an LLC offers pass-through taxation, meaning the business itself is not taxed separately.

Can I use Stripe and US payment processors from Malaysia?

Yes. This is one of the biggest advantages of forming a US company. With a US LLC and US bank account, you get a full US Stripe account with lower fees, more features, and the ability to accept USD payments globally.

Can I open a US bank account with just an EIN?

Yes. You do not need a Social Security Number to open a US business bank account. Your EIN, LLC formation documents, and passport are sufficient. We help you through the entire process.

Can non-US residents form a US company?

Yes. US LLCs are open to non-citizens and non-residents. You do not need a US visa, Green Card, or Social Security Number. Thousands of Malaysian founders form US companies each year.

Can I run a virtual US company from abroad?

Yes. You can operate your US LLC entirely from Malaysia with no physical office in the US. Your registered agent provides the required US address. Many Malaysian founders run their US companies fully online.

How do I apply for an EIN (Employer Identification Number)?

We handle the entire EIN application process for you. We prepare and submit IRS Form SS-4 on your behalf. No SSN is required for non-US residents. Your EIN is typically issued within 2-4 weeks and is needed for opening a US bank account, filing taxes, and hiring contractors.
