Many Syrian developers, designers and consultants have the skills to serve clients worldwide but have long been kept out of formal contracting. 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 with its own EIN and business address, set up remotely from Damascus, Aleppo or anywhere in Syria, subject to eligibility checks.
Why Syrian entrepreneurs open a US LLC
- Reach global clients with a recognized US entity instead of a hard-to-contract local status.
- Build a track record under a US company, which many buyers require before signing.
- 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.
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. On the US side, the only recurring obligation is a set of annual IRS filings, which we handle for you. Your local Syrian obligations remain separate, and a local advisor can confirm them.
Before anything else, an entrepreneur in Syria 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I really open a US LLC as a Syrian resident now?
Company formation became accessible again after the 2025 sanctions easing. Eligibility still depends on current rules for Syrian residents, which is why we confirm your case before we begin.
What if I am not eligible yet?
We check eligibility up front and are transparent about it, so you do not pay for a setup that cannot be completed for your situation.
Is it legal to create a US LLC from Syria?
Yes. Nothing in US law ties LLC ownership to a citizenship or a place of residence. Thousands of business owners based in Syria and elsewhere run one from home.
Can I set up a US LLC from Syria and keep my local company?
Yes, and it is a common setup. Entrepreneurs run the US LLC for international clients while their local company keeps serving the home market. The two coexist without conflict.
