You already have Stripe UK and a thriving business. But selling to American clients through a UK entity means cross-border fees, GBP-to-USD friction, and the perception gap of being a "foreign vendor." A US LLC gives you a genuine American business presence — US address, US bank account, USD invoicing — formed in 1-5 days without leaving London, Manchester, or anywhere in the UK.
Secure payment via Stripe. No subscription.
5.8 million UK freelancers and growing. If your clients are in America, your billing entity should be too.
Invoice US clients in USD from a US entity. Hold funds in your US bank account. Convert to GBP only when the exchange rate suits you — not when each payment lands.
We guide you through applications at Mercury, Relay, or Wise Business — neobanks that accept non-resident LLC owners remotely. No US visit needed. Mercury requires a real US address, not a registered agent address.
Process US customer payments through Stripe US at domestic rates. Save 1.5% on every cross-border transaction compared to processing through Stripe UK for US cards.
US companies require a W-9 from vendors before paying them. With your US LLC and EIN, you complete the W-9 in minutes — no more losing contracts over paperwork.
A Wyoming LLC with a US address signals commitment to the American market. US clients trust US-registered vendors — it simplifies their tax reporting, compliance, and procurement processes.
Wyoming LLCs provide strong asset protection and privacy. Your personal assets are separated from US business liability. No public disclosure of member names in Wyoming.
Wyoming for most UK founders — no state income tax, $100 filing fee, strong privacy, and the US-UK tax treaty provides additional protections.
Articles of Organization filed with the Secretary of State. You provide your details, we handle everything. 1-5 business days.
We call the IRS and get your Employer Identification Number issued the same day. This is your US business tax ID for banking and Stripe.
We guide you through US bank account applications and Stripe US registration. You apply directly — we prepare your documents and walk you through it.
Same pricing for UK founders as everyone else. Service fee covers registered agent, EIN, and all documents. State fee added at checkout.
Several US neobanks accept non-resident LLC owners remotely. We guide you through the application process. Bank account approval is subject to each bank's own verification requirements.
The most popular choice for non-resident founders. Full US checking account, debit card, and ACH transfers. Important: Mercury requires a genuine US business address — a registered agent (RA) address will be rejected. We help you arrange a virtual office address that Mercury accepts.
Business banking built for small businesses. Multiple checking accounts, profit-first budgeting. Accepts non-resident LLC owners with proper documentation. Good alternative if Mercury is not available.
Hold and convert 40+ currencies including GBP. Excellent for transferring USD back to your UK bank account at real mid-market exchange rates. Low transfer fees compared to traditional international bank wires. Many UK founders already have Wise personal accounts.
If you own a US LLC as a UK citizen, the IRS requires you to file Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 every year — even if your LLC had zero revenue. This is an information return, not a tax return. The penalty for missing this filing is $25,000 per form, per year. Form 5472 must be filed on paper — it cannot be e-filed. The US-UK tax treaty may provide benefits but does not eliminate this filing requirement. Our compliance bundle handles this for you.
