Open a US LLC from Bangladesh — remote and SSN-free
Bangladesh has one of the world's largest freelancer populations, and the biggest ceiling is credibility: marketplaces and direct clients pay more to companies than to individuals. A US LLC removes that ceiling.
What blocks Bangladeshi founders today
- Direct clients prefer a company invoice over a freelancer profile
- Limited access to US payment processors as an individual
- No SSN, so self-filing an EIN usually fails
- Local documentation not accepted by US-facing platforms

Bangladesh FAQ
Can I keep freelancing on Upwork or Fiverr with an LLC?
Yes — you can switch your marketplace account to your company or keep both, and invoice direct clients through the LLC.
Do I need a minimum income to form a US LLC?
No. There's no revenue requirement. Many founders form before their first large contract so the paperwork is ready.
What ongoing costs should I expect?
A state annual report/franchise fee (varies by state, lowest in Wyoming), registered agent renewal, and your annual IRS filing. All renewals appear in your PayNest dashboard before they're due.
Can a non-US resident own a US LLC?
Yes. There is no citizenship or residency requirement to own a US LLC. You never need to travel to the United States, and you can be the 100% single owner of the company.
Can I get an EIN without an SSN or ITIN?
Yes. Non-US residents without an SSN or ITIN receive their EIN through the IRS Form SS-4 route (fax/mail processing). We prepare and file it for you and deliver the EIN confirmation letter to your dashboard.
Which state should a non-resident choose?
Wyoming is the usual choice for online businesses and freelancers: low annual cost and strong owner privacy. Delaware suits founders planning to raise investment. We'll recommend one during intake — the price is the same either way.
Do I have to visit the US or provide US documents?
No. Everything is remote: your passport, an address in your home country, and the online intake are enough. Our registered agent and business address in the US cover the local requirements.
How much does it cost in total?
$209 all-in for the formation itself — $160 mandatory state filing fee paid to the Secretary of State plus a $49 flat PayNest service fee. Optional extras (EIN, registered agent, virtual address, notary) are shown as separate line items before you pay.
