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.

Most LLCs are formed within 1-2 weeks depending on the state.
