Common Concerns

Questions Filipino founders ask

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

Do I need a Social Security Number?

No. Filipino 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.

How does BIR reporting work?

As a Philippine tax resident, you report worldwide income to the BIR. The US-Philippines Tax Treaty helps prevent double taxation. A single-member LLC is tax-transparent in the US.

Can I access Stripe from the Philippines?

Stripe is not available in the Philippines. A US LLC with a US bank account gives you full access to US Stripe, PayPal, and other payment processors at standard US rates.

Can I open a US bank account?

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

Can I do everything remotely?

Key Benefits

Why form a US company from Philippines?

Filipino founders choose US LLCs and US companies for access to the American market, better payment infrastructure, and international credibility.

Stripe and US Payment Access

Stripe is unavailable in the Philippines. A US LLC unlocks full US Stripe, Shopify Payments, and other US payment processors with lower fees and more features.

Stable USD Banking

Hold your business revenue in USD in a US bank account. Protect your earnings from local currency volatility and access funds without restrictions.

BPO and Freelancer Bridge

The Philippines has a massive BPO and freelancer workforce. A US LLC lets you invoice US clients directly, accept Stripe payments, and build credibility on international platforms.

US-Philippines Tax Treaty

The US-Philippines Tax Treaty helps prevent double taxation. A single-member LLC is treated as a disregarded entity for US tax purposes, simplifying your tax position.

FAQ

US Company & LLC Questions from Philippines

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

Is Stripe available in the Philippines?

No. Stripe does not support the Philippines as a business country. Filipino founders form US LLCs to access Stripe and other US payment platforms. This is the standard workaround used worldwide.

Do I need BSP approval to own a US LLC?

No special Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) approval is required to form a US LLC. However, you must comply with BSP foreign exchange regulations when transferring funds between US and Philippine accounts.

How do I transfer money from the US to the Philippines?

Use Wise (best PHP rates), direct wire transfer, Remitly, or GCash international transfers. Transfers typically take 1-3 business days.

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

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.

Which US state should Filipino founders choose?

Wyoming is the most popular choice for Filipino 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.

How do I get a US Tax ID (EIN) without an SSN?

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.

Can I open a US bank account from Philippines?

Yes. We help you open a US business bank account entirely online from Philippines. The process typically takes 1-2 weeks after your LLC and EIN are established.

What are the ongoing compliance requirements?

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.

How long does the entire process take?

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 Filipino founders are fully operational within 6 weeks.
