Why Form a US LLC?

Why Spain Founders Form US LLCs

Los autónomos y fundadores españoles crean US LLC para sortear la complejidad y el coste de la Sociedad Limitada (notario, Registro Mercantil, capital mínimo de 3.000 €) y para acceder a Mercury Bank y Stripe US con ingresos en USD. La cuota de autónomo (RETA) puede superar los 300 €/mes independientemente de los ingresos, mientras que una LLC americana no tiene cuotas mensuales obligatorias. Una LLC estadounidense es la estructura preferida por los desarrolladores, consultores SaaS y agencias digitales españolas que trabajan con clientes internacionales: permite facturar en USD, mantener fondos en una cuenta bancaria americana (Mercury Bank) y acceder a todo el ecosistema de pagos de Stripe. Como residente fiscal en España, los beneficios de la LLC se declaran en el IRPF (actividades económicas); la LLC se suele tratar como entidad transparente por la Agencia Tributaria. Consulta un asesor fiscal especializado en fiscalidad internacional para tu situación concreta.

US Stripe Account – Full USD Payouts

With your US LLC, EIN and Mercury account you can apply for a US Stripe account with USD payouts. Stripe also works for local businesses in Spain; a US LLC adds a US Stripe account paid out in USD. Stripe reviews every application.

Open Mercury Bank in USD

Mercury accepts founders who live in Spain. Your LLC gets a US business account for USD wires, ACH and card payments. Mercury reviews every application.

Get Paid on Upwork & Fiverr

Bill as a US entity on platforms like Avoiding Spanish SL bureaucracy, freelance IT consultants, agency billing. Withdraw to your USD account then transfer to your Spain bank account with low fees.

Professional US Presence

A US LLC makes your business credible to international clients, investors, and platforms – especially if you're building a SaaS or running an agency from Spain.

Wise & Payoneer

Wise Business and Payoneer both work for a US LLC owned from Spain, for converting USD and sending it home.

Liability Protection

An LLC separates your personal assets from your business. If a client dispute occurs, your personal finances stay protected.

US LLC vs. Local Sociedad Limitada (S.L.) in Spain

A US LLC is an alternative to a local Sociedad Limitada (S.L.) for selling to international clients. It is formed and run 100% remotely. A single-member LLC with no US trade or business usually owes no US income tax, but it must file Form 5472 every year, and you report the profit in Spain under your local tax rules. Ask a local accountant how that works for you.

Banking & Payments

What works for founders who live in Spain

Banks and payment providers decide by where you live, not by your passport or by the US state. Mercury Bank accepts founders who live in Spain, so your LLC can hold USD in a US bank.

How Spain founders usually get paid

Your customers → Stripe → Mercury (USD) → Wise → Your local bank

Direct Withdrawal Pathway

Stripe pays out in USD to your Mercury account. From there you send money to your account at Santander Bank, BBVA, CaixaBank in EUR with Wise or Payoneer.

Local Tax Reporting

Spain taxes global income. Profits from a US LLC are declared under personal income tax (IRPF) as economic activities. Consult an Asesor Fiscal. A single-member LLC with no US trade or business usually owes no US income tax, but still files Form 5472 every year.

We offer three states: (1) Wyoming is the fastest (3–5 business days) and member names are not published on the state registry. (2) Missouri has no state annual report, so it has the lowest yearly cost. (3) Montana has no sales tax and low yearly fees. Banks and Stripe treat all three the same.

A single-member LLC owned by a non-resident with no US trade or business (no US office, staff or warehouse) usually owes no US income tax. It must still file Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 by April 15 every year; we prepare and file it as a yearly service. Spain taxes global income.

Sí. Muchos autónomos y propietarios de S.L. españoles gestionan una LLC de EE.UU. en paralelo para canalizar ingresos en USD de clientes internacionales. La LLC gestiona los pagos con Stripe y la banca Mercury Bank, mientras que el alta de autónomo cubre los clientes locales. Como residente fiscal en España, debes declarar todos tus ingresos mundiales a la Agencia Tributaria (IRPF, modelo 720 para bienes en el extranjero). Consulta un asesor fiscal o gestor especializado en fiscalidad internacional antes de operar.

The usual route is Your customers → Stripe → Mercury (USD) → Wise → Your local bank. You can send money to Santander Bank, BBVA, CaixaBank in EUR.

Wyoming: 3–5 business days (2 business days with expedited filing). Missouri and Montana: 7–14 business days. Your EIN is included in that time. Bank and Stripe applications follow once your LLC is ready. All documents are delivered digitally.
