Kenya's Silicon Savannah is producing world-class startups — but limited payment infrastructure holds founders back. A US LLC gives you full Stripe, PayPal, and Wise Business access. Formed in 1-5 days from Nairobi or anywhere in Kenya.
Secure payment via Stripe. No subscription.
Kenya's tech ecosystem grew 216% in the past five years. A US LLC removes the last barrier — getting paid internationally.
Accept card payments from customers in 195+ countries. Process refunds, subscriptions, and one-time payments through Stripe's full platform.
We guide you through applications at Mercury, Relay, or Wise Business — neobanks that accept non-resident LLC owners remotely. No US visit needed. Note: Mercury requires a real US address, not a registered agent address.
Earn in USD internationally through your US LLC while keeping your M-Pesa and Kenyan business running locally. Use Wise to transfer USD to KES at real exchange rates.
Your existing M-Pesa collections continue working. The US LLC adds an international payment layer on top — it does not replace your local infrastructure.
Kenya is the tech capital of East Africa. A US LLC positions your Nairobi startup to compete for international contracts, VC funding, and global SaaS customers.
Wyoming LLCs provide strong asset protection and privacy. Your personal assets are separated from business liability. No public disclosure of member names in Wyoming.
Wyoming for most Kenyan founders — no state income tax, $100 filing fee, strong privacy. We advise based on your situation.
Articles of Organization filed with the Secretary of State. You provide your details, we handle everything. 1-5 business days.
We call the IRS and get your Employer Identification Number issued the same day. This is your business tax ID for banking and Stripe.
We guide you through US bank account applications and Stripe registration. You apply directly with the bank — we prepare your documents and walk you through it.
Same pricing for Kenyan founders as everyone else. Service fee covers registered agent, EIN, and all documents. State fee added at checkout.
Several US neobanks accept non-resident LLC owners remotely. We guide you through the application process. Bank account approval is subject to each bank's own verification requirements.
The most popular choice for non-resident founders. Full US checking account, debit card, and ACH transfers. Important: Mercury requires a genuine US business address — a registered agent (RA) address will be rejected. We help you arrange a virtual office address that Mercury accepts.
Business banking built for small businesses. Multiple checking accounts, profit-first budgeting. Accepts non-resident LLC owners with proper documentation. Good alternative if Mercury is not available.
Hold and convert 40+ currencies including KES. Excellent for transferring USD back to your Kenyan bank or M-Pesa account at real mid-market exchange rates. Low transfer fees compared to traditional banks.
If you own a US LLC as a Kenyan 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.
