If you are a freelancer, a developer or run an online business from Syria, a US LLC can open the door to global clients and dollar payments, provided your banking and payment access is confirmed first.
Why Syrian founders open a US LLC
- Reach global clients with a recognised US entity instead of a hard-to-contract local status.
- Aim for USD payments and Stripe, subject to each provider current onboarding rules.
- Project trust to international clients who prefer to contract with a US company.
A US LLC owned by a non resident, with no US activity or staff, is generally not subject to US federal income tax (the ETBUS rule). You keep handling your obligations where you are a tax resident.
What about US sanctions
Following the 2025 easing of US sanctions on Syria, forming a US company became accessible again. Banking and Stripe access can still depend on each provider current rules for Syrian residents, so we confirm your eligibility before we start, with no surprise.

- Check your banking and Stripe eligibility before we proceed.
