How to Open a US LLC from Germany (2026 Guide)

A practical 2026 guide for residents of Germany to open a US LLC remotely — taxes, banking, Stripe, and what to watch for under German law.

Germany-based founders increasingly open US LLCs to access Stripe, US banking and the American market. The process is fully remote — no SSN and no travel required.

Why German entrepreneurs choose a US LLC

Easy access to Stripe and PayPal, USD banking, a credible US presence, and a simple structure for online businesses, freelancers and Amazon sellers.

The process from Germany

Choose a state (Wyoming is popular), register the LLC, obtain an EIN without an SSN, and open a US bank account remotely. We handle each step for you.

Important: German tax considerations

Living in Germany, you remain tax-resident there. A US LLC is often treated as transparent, so profits may be taxable in Germany, and a US LLC can be seen as a Personengesellschaft or Kapitalgesellschaft depending on structure. Always coordinate with a German Steuerberater — we work alongside your advisor.
