Common Concerns
Questions Taiwanese founders ask
We've helped hundreds of Taiwanese entrepreneurs form US companies. Here are the most common concerns.
Do I need a Social Security Number?
No. Taiwanese founders can form a US LLC without a Social Security Number. Your Taiwanese passport and national ID are sufficient identification.
How does NTBT reporting work?
As a Taiwanese tax resident, you report worldwide income to the National Taxation Bureau. While there is no formal US-Taiwan tax treaty, Taiwan and the US have a TIFA agreement that supports bilateral trade.
Taiwan already has a strong tech ecosystem. Why a US LLC?
A US LLC complements your Taiwanese business. It gives you direct access to US customers and investors, US payment processors with full feature sets, and the ability to sell in USD natively.
Can I open a US bank account?
Yes. We help you open a US business bank account remotely from Taiwan. No visit required. You can receive USD payments and manage funds entirely online.
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.
