US LLC Formation from Mexico: US Banking & US Customers
Form your US LLC from Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey or Tijuana — no US visit, no SSN. We file with the state, act as your registered agent and get your IRS EIN.
Mexican residents can own 100% of a US LLC. HynoGo charges $0 service fee (you pay the state fee, e.g. $100 in Wyoming), the EIN is $40 and the registered agent $45/yr. Stripe works for Mexican businesses. A US LLC is useful for selling to US customers in USD, opening a US bank account in the company's name, and Amazon.com or US marketplace accounts.
Check this in Mexico first
Mexico taxes residents on worldwide income, and income from foreign transparent entities such as an LLC can fall under the REFIPRE (preferential tax regime) rules with extra reporting. Ask your contador before invoicing through the LLC.

US LLC from Mexico: FAQs
Do Mexicans need a US LLC for Stripe?
No — Stripe supports Mexico. The US LLC is for US-facing business: USD accounts, US marketplaces, and contracts with US companies.
Does the US–Mexico tax treaty apply to an LLC?
The treaty applies to residents of each country. How SAT treats your LLC income (including REFIPRE rules) decides your Mexican tax, so get advice from a contador.
Can I get the LLC and EIN without an SSN or ITIN?
Yes. We form the LLC and get the EIN without an SSN or ITIN. You only need an ITIN for specific personal tax filings.
Which state is best for a Mexican founder?
Wyoming or New Mexico for low upkeep; Texas if you will have real operations, staff or a warehouse in Texas.
