Frequently Asked Questions from BD Founders
Is it completely legal for a Bangladeshi citizen to own a US LLC?
Yes. US law allows it, and Bangladeshi tax and exchange rules still apply, so take local advice. The US does not restrict foreign nationals from owning 100% equity in an LLC. Hundreds of top Bangladeshi software firms and freelancers operate via Wyoming and Delaware LLCs.
How does a US LLC enable Stripe for a Bangladeshi business?
Stripe does not operate domestically in Bangladesh. However, when you form a US LLC, you become the owner of an American legal entity. When applying for Stripe with your US Articles of Organization, IRS EIN, and US business bank account, Stripe activates your account as a legitimate US business.
How can I legally bring USD earnings into Bangladesh?
You receive client payments and Stripe payouts into your Wise Business or Mercury account. From there, you wire USD directly to your Bangladeshi commercial bank (BRAC Bank, City Bank, DBBL, etc.) via SWIFT or Wise. Because it enters through official banking channels as software export or IT freelance remittance, it is fully documented and legally compliant.
Can I receive the Bangladesh government cash incentive on freelancing remittance?
Yes. Bangladesh Bank circulars provide cash incentives (previously 10%, updated according to central bank policy) for inward remittances originating from computer software, ITES, and freelance services routed through official banking channels with PRC (Proceeds Realization Certificate) documentation.
Do I need a US Visa or passport to visit the US?
No. Everything is completed 100% online. You do not need to visit the United States, obtain a US visa, or have a US citizen partner. Your valid Bangladeshi passport is all that is required for identity verification.
Do I need a real US phone number for Stripe & Mercury verification?
Yes. Stripe Radar and US banking platforms (Mercury, Wise) actively flag or reject VOIP numbers (Skype, Google Voice, TextNow) during SMS 2FA. HynoConnect provides a real US carrier cellular line for $5/month ($8 one-time setup fee) or Toll-Free lines for reliable 2FA verification from Bangladesh.
