Common Concerns
Questions Spanish founders ask
We've helped hundreds of Spanish entrepreneurs form US companies. Here are the most common concerns.
Do I need an SSN or US visa?
No. Spanish citizens and residents can form a US LLC with their NIE or passport. No SSN, no visa, and no US visit required.
Is this better than being Autonomo?
A US LLC does not replace your Autonomo status for Spanish operations. However, for US-facing revenue, a US LLC provides better payment processing, USD banking, and US market credibility.
How does Spanish tax reporting work?
As a Spanish tax resident, you report worldwide income to Agencia Tributaria. The Spain-US tax treaty prevents double taxation. A US LLC is tax-transparent in the US.
Can I accept payments in USD?
Yes. With a US LLC and bank account, you can accept USD payments through Stripe, PayPal, and wire transfers without going through European payment intermediaries.
How long does it take?
Most LLCs are formed within 1-2 weeks depending on the state.
Do I need a US address?
No. Your registered agent service includes a verified US business address for legal mail and state correspondence, so you can run everything from home.

Wyoming is the most popular choice for Spanish founders. It offers zero state income tax and low annual fees. Delaware is preferred if you plan to seek US venture capital.
