Set up a US LLC

You sell internationally. A US LLC can strengthen your operational structure, make payment flows more efficient and add flexibility to international e-commerce activities.

Sound familiar? International ambitions demand a strong legal structure

Many e-commerce entrepreneurs grow internationally while their company structure lags behind. Revenue comes from multiple countries, payments run through different processors and clients are on the other side of the world. Yet the business often stays fully arranged around a local structure.

As a business grows, payments become more important and international transactions call for a different set-up. Banks, lenders and payment processors also view businesses active in the US market differently. So a US LLC is often used by entrepreneurs operating internationally who want their structure to match the markets they are active in.

Questions? We'll answer them.

  • A US LLC is especially relevant for e-commerce entrepreneurs active in the Big Five markets: the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. When a large share of revenue comes from these countries, an American entity can contribute to a more efficient company structure, better payment flows and a more professional image towards clients and business partners.

  • A US LLC can offer several operational and financial benefits. Entrepreneurs often see a higher acceptance rate on payments through US bank accounts, because American banks share more data among themselves than between American and European banks. Sales in dollars can also be received without conversion costs, and for trade within the United States and Canada payment processors often charge no cross-border fees.

  • Yes. Setting up an American entity brings costs, administrative obligations and compliance requirements. Think of reporting, registrations and maintaining the company in line with applicable regulations. So it is important to gain a clear understanding of the obligations and related costs in advance.

  • Absolutely. A foreign entity can play a key role in emigration or international expansion. For entrepreneurs who want to structure their activities internationally or operate from multiple countries, a US LLC is often used as a flexible, internationally oriented company form. The most suitable set-up depends on your personal and business situation.
