US LLC Formation from Bangladesh
LLC, EIN & US Bank — Fully Remote

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is the simplest US business structure. For entrepreneurs in Bangladesh it is usually the first step to selling seriously in the US market. With an LLC and an EIN you can apply for US business bank accounts and payment processors, and operate your store under a US company name.

An LLC also separates your business from your personal assets, and a single-member LLC owned by a non-US person is generally not taxed at the federal level on income that isn’t connected with a US trade or business. Your tax position depends on your situation, so we always recommend confirming it with a qualified tax adviser.

Most non-resident founders choose Wyoming, New Mexico or Delaware. Wyoming and New Mexico have low yearly costs and simple filings. Delaware is often chosen by founders who plan to raise investment. We explain the trade-offs on your strategy call and recommend the state that fits your plans.

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is your company’s US tax ID. You need it for banking, payment gateways and marketplaces. Non-residents without an SSN or ITIN can still get an EIN by filing IRS Form SS-4; it just can’t be done through the IRS online application. We prepare and file the form for you and follow up until the EIN is issued.

Forming the company is the easy part. Each year the LLC must keep its registered agent, file the state’s annual report or pay its annual fee, and — for a foreign-owned single-member LLC — file IRS Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120. The IRS penalty for missing Form 5472 can be $25,000, so we put every deadline on your calendar and can handle the filings for you.
