Common Concerns

Questions Singaporean founders ask

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

Do I need an SSN or US visa?

No. Singaporean founders can form a US LLC with their NRIC and Singaporean passport. No SSN, no visa, and no US travel required.

Singapore is already business-friendly. Why a US LLC?

A US LLC complements your Singapore entity. It gives you direct access to the US market, US payment processors, US-based credibility, and the ability to work with US investors and customers natively.

How does IRAS reporting work?

As a Singaporean tax resident, you report worldwide income to IRAS. The US-Singapore Tax Treaty prevents double taxation. Foreign-source income may qualify for exemption under Singapore tax rules.

Can I keep my Singapore Pte Ltd too?

Yes. Many Singaporean founders operate both a Singapore Pte Ltd and a US LLC. The US LLC handles US-facing revenue while your Singaporean entity manages Asia-Pacific operations.

Can I open a US bank account?

Yes. We help you open a US business bank account remotely. No US visit required. Manage USD payments and transfers entirely online.

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.
