How to Form a US LLC from India: 2026 Guide for Founders

Founders across India use US LLCs to sell globally, accept USD payments and work with international clients. The process is fully remote for Indian residents.

Why an Indian founder forms a US LLC

• Stripe and PayPal business access with USD payouts.
• Professional US presence for SaaS, agencies and eCommerce.
• Easier dealings with US and global customers.

Step-by-step

1. Pick your state (compare in our best state guide).
2. Form the LLC with a registered agent.
3. Obtain your EIN (no SSN required).
4. Open US business banking.
5. Enable Stripe/PayPal and file BOI.

What you need

• Passport (preferred) or other ID.
• Three company name options.
• Address and date of birth.

Tax note

US tax depends on whether you have US “effectively connected” income. Many remote owners owe no US income tax but must file Form 5472/1120 and consider India-side reporting (LRS/FEMA). Seek professional advice.
