US LLC Formation from Peru: Stripe & USD Banking
Form your US LLC from Lima, Arequipa, Cusco or Trujillo — no US visit, no SSN. We file with the state, act as your registered agent and get your IRS EIN.
Peruvian 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 does not support Peruvian businesses. A US LLC with an EIN can apply as a US company.
