Many Syrian developers, designers and consultants have the skills to serve clients worldwide but have long been locked out of USD payments and Stripe. With the 2025 easing of US sanctions, forming a US company has become accessible again. A US LLC can give you a real US entity and, subject to eligibility checks, a USD business account and Stripe access, set up remotely from Damascus, Aleppo or anywhere in Syria.
Why Syrian entrepreneurs 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.
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.
On the tax side, a Syria-based owner whose US LLC has no US office, staff or dependent agent is generally not engaged in a US trade or business, so the LLC pays 0% US federal income tax on its profits. The recurring US filing is the annual mandatory IRS filings, which we handle for you. Your local Syrian obligations remain separate, and a local advisor can confirm them.
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.
- Check your banking and Stripe eligibility before we proceed.
- Stay compliant with mandatory IRS filings and the annual report, handled for you.
