Common Concerns
Questions UAE-based founders ask
We've helped hundreds of UAE-based entrepreneurs form US companies. Here are the most common concerns.
Do I need an SSN or US visa?
No. UAE residents can form a US LLC with their Emirates ID and passport. No SSN, no US visa, and no travel required.
How does this compare to a free zone company?
A US LLC complements your UAE free zone company. It gives you access to the US market, US payment processors like Stripe, and a US bank account for USD operations.
Can I use Stripe and US payment processors?
Yes. A US LLC with a US bank account qualifies you for US Stripe, PayPal, and other payment processors that are restricted or limited for UAE-based entities.
What about UAE corporate tax?
The UAE introduced corporate tax in 2023. A US LLC is a separate entity. Consult your UAE tax advisor about how foreign-source income is treated under the new framework.
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.
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.
