Availability is indicative and subject to change. Final approval depends on each platform and its KYC review. Fintechs operate through partner banks.
It’s possible, with one condition: you almost always have to visit a US branch in person. Here’s how the two options compare for a founder living in Namibia.
💡 Tip: Many founders start with a fintech from home and open a traditional bank account on their first trip to the US. You can have both.
As a resident with an SSN or ITIN and a US address, you have access to the entire banking system: national and regional banks, credit unions and fintechs, plus more credit options for your business.
An american LLC or corporation isn’t a magic formula to stop paying taxes at home. Here’s how the IRS and NamRA interact when you operate from Namibia.
Your single-member LLC is a pass-through entity (Disregarded Entity). If you’re a foreign owner and your income isn’t US-sourced or effectively connected with a US trade or business, you generally don’t pay federal income tax, but you must file Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 every year.
For NamRA, services you provide from Namibia (software, consulting, marketing) are treated as exported services and may be taxable income for you. We help you structure your taxes legitimately with our partner accountants.
The LLC works as an international trade vehicle: it gives you access to Stripe, Apple Pay and US-dollar business bank accounts, without local currency restrictions.
A local company in Namibia is still useful for the domestic market, hiring employees or invoicing in Namibian Dollar (NAD). The LLC doesn’t replace it; it works alongside it.
The US doesn’t apply the CRS standard. It handles tax transparency through FATCA and bilateral tax cooperation agreements, such as TIEAs.
Your account may be reported to, or requested by, the authorities in Namibia through FATCA, CRS or bilateral agreements, as applicable. Declare your structure and income wherever required.
Double taxation treaty with the US
No current active income tax convention with the United States for standard cross-border revenue tracking.
Before forming your LLC or corporation, understand when NamRA considers you a tax resident and what your obligations are at home.
The NamRA taxes local tax residents on their worldwide income. Strict compliance guidelines, local digital reporting frameworks, and transfer pricing thresholds apply to offshore structures. An offshore pass-through US LLC does not automatically dismiss local corporate or personal accounting reporting declarations. All international digital distributions must comply with local tax definitions. .
Note: If you are a tax resident of Namibia, passive profits from your LLC could be attributed to your return even if you do not withdraw them.
Holding dollars in a US bank account isn’t enough. What matters is using or bringing those funds into Namibia efficiently and 100% legally, in good standing with NamRA.
Avoid forced conversions and traditional bank margins. We connect your LLC’s account to payment and FX platforms so you can withdraw to your accounts in Namibia and receive Namibian Dollar (NAD) at competitive exchange rates.
✓ Lower fees on every conversion to Namibian Dollar (NAD)
A trademark registered in Namibia only protects you there; it has no standing in the US market. Registering it with the USPTO under your LLC gives you US rights against copycats and adds value in the eyes of partners and investors.
✓ Your brand protected in both markets
Doing business in your own name from Namibia exposes your family assets and leaves you more exposed to reviews by NamRA. A well-run LLC separates personal and business assets, as long as you keep a dedicated bank account, a signed operating agreement and up-to-date records.
✓ Personal assets kept separate from the business
Running a US company from Namibia means following the rules of both countries: the IRS on one side and your local tax authority, NamRA, on the other. These are the mistakes we see most often, and how we prevent them for you.
⚠ $25,000 penalty per form
The problem
A single-member LLC owned by a foreign person must file Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 every year, even with no US income. Living in abroad doesn’t exempt you: the deadline is April 15, with an extension available.
✓ How we prevent it
We track your filing calendar and prepare the required forms.
⚠ Taxable in your home country
The problem
If you provide services (software, marketing, consulting) from your country, your local tax authority, may treat that income as yours. The US federal exemption doesn’t automatically apply at home, where you report in your local currency.
✓ How we prevent it
We help you clearly separate active and passive income, together with our partner accountants.
⚠ Account frozen within weeks
The problem
A generic registered agent address is the fastest way to get your account frozen by Mercury, Lili or Stripe under their KYC checks. Without a dollar account, every payment ends up converted to local currency with high fees.
✓ How we prevent it
Our plans include a real business address and notarized certification of USPS Form 1583. Final approval is at each provider’s discretion.
⚠ Double review: IRS and local authority
The problem
Your LLC may be exempt from federal tax on certain foreign-source income, but you remain a tax resident of Martinique. Your local tax authority, DGFiP (Martinique), assesses your case based on the type of activity and where the service is performed.
✓ How we prevent it
We review your situation with partner accountants so you report correctly in both countries.
⚠ Risk of administrative dissolution
The problem
Without an active registered agent or an annual report on file, the state can put your company in default and dissolve it. Reinstating it costs extra, and handling it remotely from Martinique makes it slower.
✓ How we prevent it
We track your renewals and annual reports so your company stays in good standing.
⚠ Form 1065 + Schedule K-1
The problem
With two or more members, the IRS treats the LLC as a partnership: it must file Form 1065 every year plus a Schedule K-1 for each member. Each member also reports their share at home; for residents of Martinique, to DGFiP (Martinique).
✓ How we prevent it

STATES NON-RESIDENTS FAVOR
Although Incorporalia natively forms companies in all 50 U.S. states, these four jurisdictions stand out for offering the most advantageous tax frameworks and privacy protections for foreign entrepreneurs:
Close to Latin America
Very popular for its cultural and geographic closeness to Latin America and its significant economic weight. Unlike Wyoming or New Mexico, it does not offer full anonymity.
State fees
Low costs · Privacy
Low formation and maintenance costs; no state income tax and a high level of confidentiality, since owners' names do not have to appear in public records.
State fees
Investor favorite
It has the most respected business legal system in the country; investors and funds trust it fully, which makes it the preferred choice for startups that receive investment.
State fees
$0 annual report · Anonymity
It is the most advantageous option on cost, since it has no annual report fee ($0 in upkeep fees with the state) and keeps the owner's name private. It rivals Wyoming when anonymity is the goal.
State fees
State fees are indicative and subject to change.
Starting a company in the United States from Namibia can seem complicated, especially if you are starting from another country. Here we answer the most common questions about incorporation, EIN, administration and the tools you will have available to operate your business.
An LLC (Limited Liability Company) is a type of legal entity within the American business system that provides key benefits for those who are building a business: shielding of personal assets, agile operation and tax advantages.
If you are a foreign entrepreneur, opening an LLC in the United States allows you to:
By default, this entity is not taxed as such before the federal government; Instead, the tax burden is transferred directly to their owners. This feature makes it a very convenient option for those who manage their business from another country.
It works especially well for ecommerce businesses, consulting, software development, creative agencies and startups in general. The legal figure you choose can set the course for your growth, and an LLC could well be that solid foundation that your project needs to take off.
As a foreigner, these are some of the reasons why it is worth opening an LLC in the US:
It is not surprising that it has become the favorite choice of thousands of Latin American freelancers, startup entrepreneurs and consultants.
Yes, absolutely. You have the option to register the company on your own—as a single member—or jointly with other partners (whether individuals or companies), which is known as a multi-member LLC.
The number of owners determines how the IRS classifies the business for tax purposes by default:
When an LLC is owned by a foreign national, there is an obligation to comply with certain IRS reporting requirements, even if the business generates no income within U.S. territory. This does not necessarily mean taxes must be paid, but filing the relevant information is mandatory.
By default, a single-member LLC is classified as a “disregarded entity.” When the owner is not a U.S. tax resident and there are transactions between the owner and the company, there is an obligation to file Form 5472 along with a pro forma Form 1120.
Conversely, when an LLC has more than one member, it is treated as a partnership, which requires filing Form 1065.
What are Form 5472 and the pro forma Form 1120, and when must they be filed?
When your company makes capital contributions, transfers funds between the LLC and its members, or shares expenses, these operations qualify as “reportable transactions.”
Failure to file these forms is not a minor error; penalties start at $25,000 for each year the filing was missed.
When does an actual obligation to pay taxes in the United States arise?
Only when the income is derived from U.S. sources. To illustrate:
If you provide online marketing services to clients located in Latin America or Europe, that income is not subject to U.S. federal tax.
However, if you sell products via Amazon, eBay, your own online store, or Shopify to buyers within the United States, that income is subject to taxation.
Yes. Both individuals and legal entities can be owners—sole or shared—of an LLC. If a foreign company is the owner, the LLC would be a subsidiary.
Yes. In many cases, you can form a company in the United States even if you are not a resident and do not currently live in the country. Requirements may vary depending on the state and the type of company you wish to create.
We primarily help entrepreneurs set up LLCs and corporations in the United States. We guide you through the available options and the requirements specific to the state where you wish to form your company. Foreigners can not own a S Corporation.
Requirements depend on the state and type of business. Incorporalia can help you with services related to commercial address and Registered Agent when necessary for your business structure.
The EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a company’s tax identification number for the U.S. IRS. It may be required for activities such as opening a business bank account, hiring employees, and meeting certain tax obligations.
No. You can complete the entire process using identification documents from your home country, provided you follow certain specific steps, such as filling out Form SS-4 to obtain an EIN.
The timeframe depends on the state, the type of entity, and the applicable processing times. Once we receive the necessary information, we will outline the steps and estimated timeframes for your case.
In many cases, it is not necessary to travel to the United States to form a company. The process can be carried out remotely, although certain subsequent services – such as some banking processes – may have additional requirements established by each institution.
Yes, a US business can use business bank accounts, but each bank sets its own identification, documentation, and eligibility requirements. Incorporalia can help you prepare the structure and documentation necessary to move forward.
Once the state issues your entity’s official documents, the process does not stop. Our team manages obtaining your EIN from the IRS and, in parallel, we grant you access credentials to your private Incorporalia panel. From that moment, we begin the guided pipeline for opening your bank account and activate your suite of operational tools so that you can begin managing clients, billing in dollars and structuring your business immediately.
It acts as the digital command center for your global business. Your active subscription grants you access to a centralized environment that includes a customer relationship management (CRM) system, tools for generating quotes and legal contracts, email and communication automation, sales funnels, and a human support module in your language to address administrative compliance questions as your company grows.
Yes, definitely. At Incorporalia we firmly believe in human support. That’s why we offer you a free 15-minute clarity session with our team of advisors.

In addition, our Marketplace connects you directly with strategic allies in banking, payment gateways and complementary corporate services.
We have plans from zero dollars for self-service administration, and plans from $97 dollars for an all-in-one plan.
Yes, you can start the process today. To legally form the LLC or corporation, you simply need to provide a proposed company name (which we then verify with the state registry). Business elements—such as your logo, public-facing brand, or website—can be designed, integrated, and launched later using the same management tools already included in your Incorporalia platform.
