Eligibility and Basics
Can Indian citizens register a US LLC?+
Yes, absolutely. Any Indian citizen can register a US LLC regardless of residency or citizenship. There is no requirement to be a US citizen, hold a visa, or be present in the US. The entire process at Incorp Genius is 100% online from India.
Do I need to visit the US to form an LLC?+
No. You do not need to travel to the US at any point. Incorp Genius handles all filings remotely on your behalf. Your LLC, EIN, and US bank account can all be set up from India without you ever stepping on a plane.
Why would I need a US LLC as an Indian founder?+
A US LLC gives you access to Stripe and PayPal, the ability to invoice US clients in USD, eligibility for Amazon FBA and Shopify, credibility with US customers, and the ability to open a US business bank account. For many Indian founders it is the single biggest unlock for growing revenue from the US market.
Process and Timeline
How long does the complete setup take?+
Typically 2 to 3 weeks from start to finish. LLC formation takes 5 to 7 business days, EIN filing is usually same-day, and US bank account approval takes 1 to 2 weeks. We update you on WhatsApp at every milestone.
What documents do I need to provide?+
Your preferred company name, passport or government-issued ID, and your residential address in India. That is all we need to begin the LLC filing. We will guide you through any additional requirements for EIN and banking via WhatsApp.
How will I be kept updated?+
We use WhatsApp as our primary communication channel. You will receive updates at every key milestone. You can message us anytime and expect a response from a real team member.
Banking and Payments
Can I open a US bank account from India?+
Yes. We help you open a digital US business bank account remotely with partners like Mercury or Relay. These are full-featured business accounts — receive USD, connect Stripe and PayPal, issue wire transfers. No US travel required. Approval typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. Traditional bank accounts (Chase, Bank of America) are also possible for clients with an ITIN, though an in-person US branch visit is required and must be arranged by the client.
Which platforms can I access with a US LLC?+
With a US LLC, EIN, and bank account, you can access Stripe, PayPal, Amazon FBA, Shopify Payments, Fiverr Pro, Upwork, Etsy, Gumroad, and most US-facing payment platforms that require a verified US business entity.
