Common Concerns

Questions Sri Lankan founders ask

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

Do I need a Social Security Number?

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

How does IRD reporting work?

As a Sri Lankan tax resident, you report worldwide income to the Inland Revenue Department. While there is no US-Sri Lanka tax treaty, a single-member LLC is tax-transparent in the US, simplifying your tax position.

Can I hold USD in a US bank account?

Yes. With a US LLC and US bank account, you hold and manage USD directly. This protects your revenue from LKR fluctuations and gives you stable foreign currency access.

Can I use Stripe and US payment processors?

Yes. Stripe is limited in Sri Lanka. A US LLC with a US bank account gives you full access to US Stripe, PayPal, and other payment processors at standard US rates.

Stable USD Banking

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

International Credibility

FAQ

US Company & LLC Questions from Sri Lanka

Everything Sri Lankan 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 Sri Lanka. You do not need a US visa or travel. We handle all filings electronically.

Is there a tax treaty between Sri Lanka and the US?

No. Sri Lanka and the US do not have a comprehensive double taxation treaty. However, a single-member LLC is tax-transparent in the US, and Sri Lankan tax law may allow foreign tax credits.

Which US state should Sri Lankan founders choose?

Wyoming is the most popular choice. 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. This is one of the main reasons Sri Lankan founders form US LLCs. US Stripe is fully available, letting you accept credit card payments globally with funds deposited to your US bank account.

Can I open a US bank account from Sri Lanka?

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

Do I need to report the LLC to the IRD?

Yes. As a Sri Lankan tax resident, you must report worldwide income to the Inland Revenue Department. This includes income from your US LLC and any foreign bank accounts you hold.

How do I move money from the US to Sri Lanka?

You can use Wise (TransferWise), direct wire transfers, or international banking services to send funds from your US bank account to your Sri Lankan 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 Sri Lanka?

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 Sri Lankan founders form US companies each year.

Can I run a virtual US company from abroad?

Yes. You can operate your US LLC entirely from Sri Lanka with no physical office in the US. Your registered agent provides the required US address. Many Sri Lankan 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.
