Frequently asked questions
Can Africans legally own a US LLC?
Yes. Any African national — from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Ethiopia, or anywhere on the continent — can legally own a US LLC. There is no citizenship or residency requirement.
How does a US LLC help with currency instability?
A US LLC with a Wise Business or Mercury account allows you to receive and hold USD earnings. Rather than converting to a depreciating local currency immediately, you hold income in USD and convert when rates are favourable. This is a critical financial tool for Nigerian and Ghanaian entrepreneurs.
Does a US LLC fully solve the Stripe restriction for Nigeria?
A US LLC is a US business entity — Stripe evaluates it as a US merchant, not a Nigerian one. Beneficial owner nationality does not disqualify the application. However, Stripe's compliance review examines business type, website quality, and refund policy. HynoGo prepares all documentation to maximise approval.
Is Mercury available for African-owned LLCs?
Mercury has varying acceptance rates depending on country and business profile. Wise Business is generally more accessible and recommended as the primary banking solution for African LLC owners. HynoGo advises on the best banking path for your specific situation.
What is the annual cost to maintain a US LLC from Africa?
Wyoming: approximately $60/year state report + registered agent renewal. Delaware: $300+/year. HynoGo's packages cover the first year in full — subsequent years are low cost and clearly communicated upfront.
