The problem

Your competitors have an LLC.
You don't.

In 2025, a US entity is no longer an advantage — it is the prerequisite for accessing the financial and commercial tools that power the global digital economy.

Stripe rejects you — you have no US entity

Stripe, PayPal Business, Mercury, Wise Business, Shopify Payments: all require a US entity. A Delaware LLC is enough. Within 48 hours, your account is open and your dollar payments are unlocked — without ever setting foot in the United States.

Your American customers don't trust you

A US company immediately adds credibility to your business in the eyes of American buyers, partners and investors. "LLC" after your name is the difference between an ignored email and a signed contract.

You're losing deals because you don't collect in dollars

Mercury or Relay USD bank account, American IBAN, ACH and wire transfer access. No more conversion fees, no more banking delays. Your US clients pay as if you were in New York.

“A Delaware LLC is not just a US company. It is your gateway to the most powerful financial and commercial infrastructure in the world.”

Why the United States

Delaware,
the most business-friendly jurisdiction in the world

01
01

Delaware: the global standard for business

Half of all NYSE and Nasdaq listed companies are incorporated in Delaware. Business laws that are among the clearest and most stable in the world, specialised courts (Court of Chancery), and 200 years of entrepreneur-friendly case law. Delaware is not just a US state — it is an international mark of trust.

02

0% corporate tax for non-resident members

A foreign-member LLC with no physical activity in the United States is fiscally transparent on the US side. The LLC pays no US federal corporate tax on profits generated outside the USA. Your taxation remains in your country of residence — with a legal, optimised and fully documented structure.

Immediate access to global tech infrastructure

Stripe, PayPal, Amazon Seller Central, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shopify Payments, Mercury, Brex, Ramp: all open with a US LLC. In 2025, a US entity is the prerequisite for accessing the financial and commercial tools that power the global digital economy.

04

Legal protection and contracts under US law

Contracts signed under Delaware law are the most respected and enforceable in the world. Your American partners, investors and institutional clients want to sign under US law. A Delaware LLC immediately puts you at that level — without a local lawyer, without jurisdiction negotiation.

Gateway to venture capital and financial markets

Y Combinator, Sequoia, a16z, Techstars: all invest exclusively in US C-Corps or LLCs. If fundraising is on your roadmap, a US entity is not an option — it is a prerequisite. And even without fundraising, a Delaware address opens doors that nothing else can.

Testimonials

They made the United States
their primary market

I had been trying to open Stripe from France for 6 months. BTOBExchange set up my Delaware LLC in 2 days. The next day, my US Stripe account was active. Within 3 months, I was collecting more in dollars than in euros.

S. Moreau
B2B SaaS — Paris / Delaware

My American clients refused to sign with a French SARL. Since operating under a Delaware LLC, my US contracts have tripled. The perception is radically different. BTOBExchange handled the entire setup in less than a week.

N. Hoffmann
Digital Agency — Berlin / Delaware

We were preparing our seed round and all VCs required a US C-Corp. BTOBExchange structured our Delaware C-Corp with cap table and SAFE in 10 days. We closed our round 3 weeks later.

Tech Startup — Dakar / Delaware

Frequently asked questions

What you need
to know about the US LLC

The US LLC is one of the most widely used structures in the world — and one of the most misunderstood. Here are the 8 answers that change everything.

Q.

Do I need to reside in the United States to form a Delaware LLC?

No. There is no residency requirement to form or manage a Delaware LLC. You can incorporate, direct and operate your US LLC from any country in the world. The only requirement is to have a physical Registered Agent in the State of Delaware — which BTOBExchange provides as part of its service.

Q.

What is a Registered Agent and why is it mandatory?

The Registered Agent is a person or company physically present in the State of Delaware, responsible for receiving official communications for your LLC (legal documents, state correspondence, compliance notices). It is legally mandatory for any US company. BTOBExchange includes the Registered Agent in its service for the first year.

Q.

Does my US LLC allow me to open Stripe?

Yes. A Delaware LLC with an EIN is the key to Stripe US, PayPal Business, Shopify Payments, Braintree and virtually all US payment processors. Once your LLC is formed and your EIN is obtained, opening Stripe generally takes less than 48 hours.

Q.

Do I have to pay taxes in the United States with my LLC?

A foreign-member LLC with no physical activity in the USA is fiscally transparent on the US side — the LLC does not pay US federal corporate tax on profits generated outside the USA. Filing obligations (Form 5472 if applicable) remain. Your taxation stays in your country of residence. BTOBExchange refers you to a US CPA for your specific situation.

Q.

What is the difference between an LLC and a C-Corporation?

The LLC is the default structure for foreign entrepreneurs: transparent taxation, maximum flexibility, no heavy annual formalities. The C-Corporation is structured to accommodate institutional investors, issue different share classes, and is the required structure for Y Combinator and most US VCs. If you are not raising institutional funds, an LLC is almost always the right choice.

Q.

Can I open a US bank account without travelling to the USA?

Yes. Mercury Bank, Relay Financial and Wise Business allow you to open a USD business account entirely remotely, with your LLC documents and EIN. These accounts include a US IBAN, a business Visa card, access to ACH and international wire transfers — without ever setting foot in the United States.

Q.

What is the EIN and why is it essential?

The EIN (Employer Identification Number) is the federal tax number of your LLC, issued by the IRS. It is essential for opening a US bank account, registering with Stripe, filing tax returns and signing certain contracts. Obtaining an EIN for a non-resident takes 2 to 4 weeks by mail — BTOBExchange handles the entire procedure on your behalf.

Q.

Is a Delaware LLC valid for operating in other US states?

A Delaware LLC can operate in all US states. If you have a significant physical presence in another state (office, employees, inventory), you will need to register as a "Foreign LLC" in that state. For a 100% digital business or trade without physical presence in the USA, a Delaware LLC is sufficient with no additional steps required.
