Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 has pushed thousands of Saudis into freelancing, e-commerce and SaaS, all of which sell best in USD. A US LLC gives you the US entity, USD business account and Stripe access that local setups struggle to provide, opened remotely from Riyadh, Jeddah or anywhere in the Kingdom.
Why Saudi entrepreneurs open a US LLC
- Get paid in USD from clients worldwide, without the friction of receiving foreign payments locally.
- Unlock Stripe and PayPal with a real US business account, the single biggest blocker for online businesses in the region.
- Project trust to US and European clients who prefer to contract with a US entity.
Is there a US tax treaty with Saudi Arabia
There is no income tax treaty between the US and Saudi Arabia, and it rarely changes the outcome. A foreign-owned US LLC with no US office, staff or dependent agent is usually not engaged in a US trade or business, so it pays 0% US federal income tax on its profits.
Your LLC in four steps
- Choose your state (Wyoming or New Mexico for most online businesses).
- We file your formation and obtain your EIN without an SSN.
- Open your US bank account and Stripe remotely.
- Stay compliant with mandatory IRS filings and the annual report, handled for you.
Frequently asked questions

Can I run a Salla or Amazon store through the LLC?
