The case for a US LLC

Why Spanish freelancers lose US clients without a US presence

Spain's autónomo economy is one of the largest in Europe — over 3.3 million freelancers and growing. But the moment you try to invoice an American client as a Spanish sole trader, friction appears: US teams expect a USD invoice from a US entity, they want a W-9 on file, and they would rather pay by simple ACH than wrestle with an international wire. Stripe Spain layers cross-border fees on top of every US card transaction, and every EUR-USD conversion quietly erodes your margin.

A US LLC removes all of that. You get a US business address, a US bank account in USD, a Stripe US account at domestic rates, and an EIN that lets you complete a W-9 in minutes. And the fastest route to all of it is a ready-made company: it already exists, it already has its EIN, and it transfers into your name within 24 hours — so you can open banking and take payments immediately instead of waiting weeks for formation and an EIN.

Why Wyoming

Our ready-made companies are Wyoming LLCs. Wyoming has no state income tax, no public member or manager registry (your ownership isn't searchable online), low annual fees, and strong charging-order protection for single-member LLCs. For a Spanish founder serving US clients, it's the clean, private, low-maintenance choice. If your business specifically needs Delaware — for outside investors or a future C-corp conversion — see our Delaware LLC page.

Already have US clients waiting? Every day before activation is a day of USD payments you can't collect. A ready-made company is the difference between "launching next month" and "invoicing this afternoon from Madrid."

Banking

US bank accounts for Spanish LLC owners

Several US neobanks accept non-resident LLC owners remotely. We guide you through each application.

★
Mercury — recommendedFull US checking, debit card, ACH. Requires a genuine US business address; we help arrange a virtual office.
✓
Relay — popularMultiple checking accounts and profit-first budgeting. Accepts non-resident owners with proper documentation.
€
Wise Business — multi-currencyHold EUR and USD in one account; convert at mid-market rates — ideal for moving US revenue back to EUR.
⚠️ Mandatory annual compliance — Form 5472. Every foreign-owned single-member US LLC must file Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 each year, even with zero revenue. It's an information return, filed on paper — it cannot be e-filed. The penalty for missing it is $25,000 per form, per year. Our compliance bundle handles Form 5472 and your state annual report for you — protect your LLC.
Tax overview

What Spanish LLC owners need to know

US
US tax obligationsSingle-member LLCs owned by non-residents are disregarded entities. With no US-source income your US federal obligations may be minimal — but Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120 must still be filed annually. Wyoming has no state income tax, and the US-Spain treaty may reduce double taxation. BOI reporting was eliminated in March 2025.
ES
Spain tax considerationsSpanish residents must declare worldwide income to the Agencia Tributaria. The US-Spain Double Taxation Treaty prevents being taxed twice. Autónomo social security contributions apply regardless of US LLC income. Modelo 720 requires declaring foreign assets over €50,000 (including US bank accounts). Consult a qualified asesor fiscal.
Prefer a brand-new company?

Register a fresh US LLC in your chosen name

If the exact company name matters more than speed, we'll register a brand-new Wyoming LLC for you from $549 — Articles of Organization filed with the Secretary of State, same-day EIN by phone, registered agent for year one, operating agreement, and US bank account + Stripe walkthrough. Formation typically completes in 1–5 business days; the EIN is issued same-day.

How registration works

  2. We file your LLC — Articles of Organization filed with the Secretary of State. You provide your details; we handle the rest.
  3. EIN same-day — we call the IRS International EIN line and get your Employer Identification Number issued the same day. No SSN required.
  4. Bank + Stripe setup — we prepare your KYC documents and walk you through Mercury, Relay, Wise and Stripe US.

Questions from Spanish founders

Why would a Spanish freelancer need a US LLC?
A US LLC gives Spanish freelancers and autónomos a genuine American business presence. You get a US address, US bank account, Stripe US with lower domestic fees, and USD invoicing. If you serve US clients, a US LLC eliminates the foreign vendor barrier — US companies can pay you via simple ACH transfer instead of international wires.
Can I form a US LLC from Spain without visiting the US?
Yes. Everything is done remotely from Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, or anywhere in Spain. No US visa or SSN needed. We file with the Secretary of State, get your EIN, and guide you through banking. A ready-made LLC is even faster — it already exists and already has its EIN, transferred to you within 24 hours.
How does a US LLC work alongside my Spanish autónomo status?
Many Spanish freelancers maintain their autónomo registration for European clients while using a US LLC for American clients. The LLC invoices in USD, collects via Stripe US, and holds funds in a US bank. Consult your asesor fiscal about reporting US LLC income in Spain.
What are the tax implications for Spanish 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. Spain taxes worldwide income — US LLC earnings must be declared to the Agencia Tributaria. The US-Spain tax treaty prevents double taxation. Consult a qualified asesor fiscal.
Will I get lower Stripe fees with a US LLC?
Yes, for US domestic transactions. Stripe US charges 2.9% + 30c domestically. Stripe Spain charges additional cross-border fees on US transactions. If your clients are primarily American, processing through Stripe US saves meaningfully on every payment.
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 along with your state annual report.
Is BOI reporting still required?
No. BOI reporting was eliminated in March 2025. Your main obligations are Form 5472 and your state annual report.
Can I use a US LLC for digital nomad work from Spain?
Yes. Many digital nomads based in Spain use a US LLC to serve international clients. The LLC provides a stable US business address and payment infrastructure regardless of where you physically work. Note that Spanish tax residency rules apply if you spend more than 183 days per year in Spain — consult an asesor fiscal about your obligations.
