Italy 🇮🇹 · Ready-made US LLC

Italian founder? Your US company is already formed — and already has its EIN

Italy's digital talent is world-class, but serving US clients through a Partita IVA means cross-border fees, EUR–USD spreads and the look of a distant foreign vendor. Skip the wait entirely: buy a ready-made Wyoming LLC that already has its EIN, transferred into your name within 24 hours, so you can invoice US clients in USD today.

The fast route for Italian founders

Skip the formation queue — buy a company that already exists

You can form a brand-new LLC from Milan, Rome or Naples — and we still do that for $549 if you want a specific name. But forming from scratch means filing Articles of Organization, waiting for the Secretary of State to approve them, then applying to the IRS for an Employer Identification Number. Even handled well, that's typically days for the company plus a wait for the EIN — and until the EIN lands, no US bank or Stripe will fully onboard you.

A ready-made Wyoming LLC removes the queue entirely. The company is already registered and in good standing, and — the part that actually unblocks you — its EIN already exists. The moment the transfer completes, you can open a US business bank account, connect Stripe US at domestic rates, and start invoicing American clients in USD. Founders who need to move now buy the time back.

⚠️ Mandatory annual compliance

Every foreign-owned LLC must file Form 5472

If you own a US LLC as an Italian citizen, the IRS requires you to file Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 every year — even if your LLC had zero revenue. This is an information return, not a tax return. The penalty for missing this filing is $25,000 per form, per year. Form 5472 must be filed on paper — it cannot be e-filed. Our compliance bundle handles this for you, whether you bought ready-made or registered fresh.

Don't risk the $25,000 penalty. Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120 + annual report filing is available as a managed compliance bundle. Talk to us about compliance →

Questions from Italian founders

Why would an Italian entrepreneur need a US LLC?
A US LLC gives Italian entrepreneurs a genuine American business presence. You get a US address, US bank account, Stripe US with lower domestic fees, and USD invoicing. If you sell digital products, freelance services, or SaaS to US clients, a US LLC eliminates the foreign vendor barrier and currency conversion friction.
Can I form a US LLC from Italy without visiting the US?
Yes. Everything is remote from Rome, Milan, Naples, or anywhere in Italy. No US visa or SSN needed. With a ready-made LLC the company and EIN already exist; with a fresh registration we file with the Secretary of State, get your EIN, and guide you through banking.
How does a US LLC work alongside my Italian Partita IVA?
Many Italian freelancers maintain their Partita IVA for European clients while using a US LLC for American business. The LLC invoices in USD, collects via Stripe US, and holds funds in a US bank. Consult your commercialista about reporting US LLC income to the Agenzia delle Entrate.
What are the tax implications for Italian citizens owning a US LLC?
A single-member LLC is a disregarded entity for US tax. You must file Form 5472 annually — $25,000 penalty for missing it. Italy taxes worldwide income. The US-Italy tax treaty prevents double taxation. Italian CFC rules may apply. Consult a qualified commercialista.
Will I get lower Stripe fees with a US LLC?
Yes, for US domestic transactions. Stripe US charges 2.9% + 30c domestically versus higher cross-border fees through Stripe Italy. If your clients are primarily American, the savings are meaningful.
What is Form 5472 and why does it matter?
Form 5472 is an IRS information return filed annually on paper. Required even with zero income. $25,000 penalty for not filing. Our compliance service ($999/year) handles this.
Is BOI reporting still required?
No. BOI reporting was eliminated in March 2025. Your main obligations are Form 5472 and your state annual report.
What about Italy's regime forfettario and a US LLC?
Italy's flat-rate tax regime (regime forfettario) has specific rules about foreign income and foreign entities. Whether you can use the forfettario while owning a US LLC depends on your specific circumstances. This is specialist territory — consult a commercialista experienced in international structures before proceeding.
