US LLC Formation for Mexico
Mexico and the US share over $700 billion in annual trade, but Mexican businesses need US infrastructure to capture their share. A US LLC gives you a US entity, USD Stripe, a US bank account, and the credibility to win nearshoring contracts — all from Mexico.
The Problem
Mexico shares a 3,145-kilometre border with the United States — the world’s largest economy. Over $700 billion in bilateral trade flows across this border annually. Mexico’s tech sector is booming, with Guadalajara, Mexico City, and Monterrey emerging as major tech hubs.
Yet Mexican professionals serving US clients face operational friction: MXN-only Stripe, RFC requirements, peso settlement, and the perception gap between a Mexican entity and a US entity.
Mexican Stripe accounts process payments and settle in MXN. For Mexican founders serving US clients, this means every transaction involves peso conversion, and the Stripe experience is not equivalent to a US account.
The nearshoring boom is bringing massive demand for Mexican IT services, manufacturing support, and professional services. But US companies awarding nearshoring contracts prefer — and often require — US-registered vendors.
Without proper payment infrastructure, Mexican entrepreneurs face:
Mexico is uniquely positioned to benefit from US nearshoring demand. A US LLC turns that geographic advantage into a business infrastructure advantage.
The Solution
The solution used by thousands of entrepreneurs worldwide is straightforward: form a US Limited Liability Company (LLC) and operate your international business through it.
This is not a loophole. Stripe explicitly supports this model — their own product, Stripe Atlas, exists to help international founders form US companies. Our service provides the same outcome at a lower cost with more state options and personalised guidance.
How It Works
The entire process is handled remotely. You do not need to visit the US, have a US visa, or have a Social Security Number.
Select Wyoming ($449 total), Delaware ($439), New Mexico ($399), or any other US state.
Provide your passport details and Mexican address. We file your Articles of Organization. 1-5 business days.
We apply for your EIN as an IRS Third Party Designee by calling 267-941-1099. Typically same day.
We walk you through opening a US bank account and setting up Stripe and PayPal.

Banking
Once your LLC is formed and your EIN is issued, the next step is opening a US business bank account.
Mercury — the most popular choice among international founders. Free business banking, FDIC insurance up to $5 million, Stripe/PayPal integrations. Application completed online.
Relay Financial — no monthly fees, multiple checking accounts, profit-first budgeting. Accepts non-resident applications remotely.
Wise Business — ideal for multi-currency operations. Hold USD, MXN, and 50+ currencies with low-cost transfers.
Mercury and other digital banks do not accept registered agent addresses, PO boxes, or UPS mailbox addresses as your business address. We recommend a US virtual office address ($10-30/month) for your bank application.
Note: Approval is subject to each bank’s verification process. We help you prepare the strongest application, but cannot guarantee approval.
EIN Application
An EIN is your US federal tax ID, issued free by the IRS. Every LLC needs one for banking, payments, and taxes.
The IRS charges no fee for EIN assignment.
Already have a US LLC? Standalone EIN application: $199.
Annual Compliance
If you are a non-US person who owns a US LLC, the IRS requires you to file Form 5472 every year, attached to a pro forma Form 1120.
The IRS imposes a $25,000 penalty per form for failure to file Form 5472. This penalty applies per reporting year. Many formation services do not adequately explain this — we make sure you understand it from day one.
For $999/year: Form 5472 + pro forma 1120 preparation and paper filing, registered agent renewal, annual report filing, and ongoing compliance monitoring.
Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act has been eliminated for domestic LLCs as of March 2025. Foreign-owned LLCs should monitor FinCEN announcements for any future requirements.

Mexico is experiencing a nearshoring revolution. As companies diversify supply chains away from Asia, Mexico is the primary beneficiary. The IT nearshoring market in Mexico is projected to exceed $10 billion by 2026. Guadalajara (“Mexico’s Silicon Valley”), Monterrey, and Mexico City are thriving tech hubs.
A US LLC is the bridge between Mexican talent and US enterprise contracts.
