Mexico sits next to the largest market on earth and its founders work with it daily, yet receiving USD cleanly and reaching every Stripe feature stays a friction. A US LLC gives you a real US entity, a USD business account and Stripe access, all set up remotely without crossing the border.
Why Mexican entrepreneurs open a US LLC
- Get paid in USD from US clients, straight into a US business account.
- Unlock Stripe and PayPal with a real US entity, including what is limited for non US businesses.
- Sell on US marketplaces that expect a US business behind the account.
How a US LLC is taxed
Before anything else, a founder in Mexico should understand the US tax options. By default the LLC is transparent: profits pass straight to the members and no corporate income tax is due at company level. The company can also be taxed as a corporation instead. That choice is yours.
Beyond that, a US LLC owned from abroad, without an office, employees or a dependent agent in the United States, is generally not considered engaged in a US trade or business. It therefore owes 0% US federal income tax on its profits. The yearly IRS filings remain due, and we take care of them. Your tax situation in Canada is unchanged.
