Form a US-based Delaware LLC from Pakistan or anywhere in the world - registered agent, EIN assistance, and full compliance guidance included. 100% remote. No US visa. No US address.
A Delaware LLC is a US legal business entity that foreign founders can own and operate without living in America.
Non-residents can form it remotely, use it to access US banking, and connect to payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal.
No US visa, residency, or address is required to form or manage one.
You're building world-class tech in Lahore, but the world treats your business as "unsupported." A "country not supported" error message is not where your ambition ends.
A Delaware LLC opens the door to US banking - and that's what gets you into the tools that actually grow a global business. Stripe. PayPal. Mercury. Brex. It all starts here.
You can't access the world's most popular payment processor from a Pakistan-based account. A US LLC changes your eligibility entirely.
US and EU clients feel more comfortable - and often insist on - working with a registered US business. Credibility matters.
Without a US entity and EIN, most US banks and fintech platforms won't let you apply.
What do you actually owe? Most founders guess wrong. The rules for foreign-owned LLCs are specific - and more manageable than most people think.
Getting an EIN without a Social Security Number means going through the IRS by fax or mail. Most founders lose weeks here. We don't let that happen.
Picking the wrong state or missing a compliance step at formation creates expensive problems later. The right setup from day one matters.
Delaware isn't just popular - it's the default, and there's a real reason for that. VCs expect it. US lawyers are built around it. Founders who want to raise money, work with global clients, or tap into US payment rails keep coming back to it.
This isn't just a piece of paper. It's a US business identity - one that opens real access to American banking, investors, mentors, and markets.
Activate Stripe, PayPal, and US fintech banking. Accept international payments without the restrictions that come with a Pakistan-based account.
Stripe + PayPal ReadyManage everything from Karachi, Lahore, Dubai, or London. No US travel required - ever.
100% RemoteDelaware's business laws and its dedicated Court of Chancery make it one of the most founder-friendly legal environments available anywhere.
Court of ChanceryMember names are typically not included in Delaware's public filings - giving founders a layer of privacy not available in most other states.
Private MembershipVenture capitalists don't just prefer Delaware - many require it. If fundraising is part of the plan, this is the right starting structure.
VC-Ready StructureYour formation documents and EIN make you eligible to apply for a US business bank account through platforms like Mercury or Brex - remotely, from anywhere.
Mercury + BrexSix steps. Fully handled. Here's exactly what happens after you start.
Your name needs to be unique in Delaware and must include "LLC" or "Limited Liability Company" as a designator. We check availability before anything gets filed.
State law requires every Delaware LLC to have a registered agent with a physical Delaware address. They handle official legal and state correspondence on your behalf. We set this up for you.
We prepare and submit your Certificate of Formation to the Delaware Division of Corporations.
State Filing Fee: $90We draft your operating agreement and member resolutions - the core documents that confirm your company is properly structured and ready for banking or investor review.
The Employer Identification Number comes from the IRS. For non-residents, this goes through IRS fax or mail - and most founders lose weeks here because of errors in the application. We prepare it correctly the first time and track the submission so nothing gets missed.
Typical timeline: 4-8 weeks via IRS faxWith your EIN and formation documents ready, you can apply for a US business bank account through Mercury or Brex. Both support non-resident applicants - but how you put together the application matters. We know what their KYC compliance teams look for, and we help you get it right.
Does not include EIN support. If you need US banking or Stripe access, the Growth package is the right choice.
The EIN is the bottleneck for most Pakistani founders. This package handles it end-to-end.

Wyoming works well if lower annual costs and strong privacy are the priority. But if raising investment, landing US clients, or scaling a SaaS product is the goal - Delaware is still the answer. Most US investors won't negotiate on this.
A founder in Lahore had spent eight months building a project management tool for US-based creative agencies. The product worked. The interest was real. But when it came time to collect payment, everything stopped. Stripe showed "country not supported." International wire transfers were slow, unreliable, and made clients hesitant.
The founder formed a Delaware LLC through Xpezia. The Certificate of Formation came back in under 72 hours. The EIN application was submitted via IRS fax the same week. While waiting on the EIN, the team helped prepare the Mercury bank application so everything was ready to go the moment it arrived.
Business now fully operational from Lahore with a legitimate US presence.
Forming the LLC is step one. Keeping it in good standing is what protects everything you build on top of it. Two requirements apply to every Delaware LLC owner.
Every Delaware LLC owes a flat $300 franchise tax annually - it's the cost of keeping your US legal protection active. It doesn't matter whether the company made any money. Miss the deadline and you get penalties. Miss it long enough and Delaware will void your good standing, which hits your banking and contracts directly.
This is a federal requirement - not a state one - and a lot of generic guides still don't mention it. Foreign-owned LLCs must submit a Beneficial Ownership Information report to FinCEN. Missing it isn't just a fine. Penalties run up to $500 per day. We handle this as an add-on if it's not already included in your package.
I'd been putting this off for over a year because the process seemed complicated. Xpezia handled everything - registration, EIN tracking, documents. Had my LLC ready and my bank application submitted within two weeks.
Running a SaaS product from Dubai and needed a proper US entity for Stripe. The whole process was remote, the team knew exactly what Mercury needed from a non-resident applicant, and it worked first try.
Didn't even know about the BOI filing requirement until Xpezia flagged it. Would have been hit with daily penalties. Really glad I didn't go the DIY route on this one.
Stop letting geography limit what your business can do.
You don't need to be in the US. You don't need a visa. What you need is the right setup and someone who has done this for hundreds of founders just like you. We handle the filing, the registered agent, the EIN tracking, the compliance calendar, and the banking prep - so the only thing you're focused on is building.
