Your Florida LLC.
Formed Remotely.
Built for Ecommerce.

No. Foreign nationals without a Social Security Number can get an EIN through a specific IRS application method designed for international business owners. This is one of the most common friction points for non-resident founders - and one we handle as part of our standard package. This isn't a workaround. It's the official IRS process for foreign applicants.

An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is for personal US tax filing. An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is what your LLC needs to open a US business bank account and activate payment processors like Stripe and PayPal. They serve completely different purposes. For forming and operating your Florida LLC, the EIN is what matters - and we handle that application for you.

Most formations wrap up within 7 to 14 business days, depending on Sunbiz processing times and IRS EIN confirmation timelines.

Florida requires every LLC to designate a registered agent - a person or service with a physical Florida street address - who receives official legal and government correspondence on behalf of the company. PO Boxes aren't accepted. A friend's home address isn't a compliant solution either and puts your LLC at risk under Florida law. We provide registered agent services as part of every formation package.

An Operating Agreement is the internal governance document for your LLC. It's not filed with Sunbiz, but most US banks require it when you open a business account. We include a customized Operating Agreement template with every formation package.

Yes, completely. Your Florida LLC can be managed entirely remotely. File annual reports online, bank digitally via Mercury or Wise, and run your entire operation from Pakistan without any US presence requirement.

Every Florida LLC must file an annual report with Sunbiz by May 1st each year. Missing this deadline triggers a $400 late penalty. Keep ignoring it and you risk administrative dissolution - which can affect your payment processor accounts and Amazon seller standing.

Your LLC loses its legal good standing with the state of Florida. This can affect your Stripe account, your Amazon seller account, and your ability to do business under that entity. Reinstatement is possible but requires fees and paperwork. The easiest solution is to never let it happen - which is why we offer ongoing compliance support.

Yes. Both require a US-registered business entity for full account activation. A Florida LLC with an EIN is one of the most direct paths to accessing US payment infrastructure from Pakistan.

Yes, and many of our clients do exactly this. They use Wise Business to receive USD into their US LLC bank account and transfer back to Pakistan. It's a common, practical setup for Pakistani founders. For questions about SBP remittance compliance or your specific tax situation in Pakistan, we recommend speaking with a local tax advisor.

This depends on whether your LLC has "Effectively Connected Income" - income connected to a US trade or business. It's a tax question that needs a licensed US tax professional or CPA, not us. We're an administrative formation service and don't provide tax advice. We always recommend consulting a qualified accountant for your specific situation.

For most Pakistani Amazon and Shopify sellers, Florida is the recommended starting point. It's widely recognized by marketplaces and payment processors, cost-effective to maintain, and straightforward to manage from anywhere.

No. We provide administrative formation support. We prepare and file the documents required to form your LLC and obtain your EIN. For specific legal or tax questions, consult a licensed attorney or accountant in your jurisdiction.

Forming a US LLC as a foreign national is fully legal and happens all over the world every day. Florida has no residency requirement. Hundreds of thousands of US LLCs are owned by non-residents. Our service is purely administrative - we help you navigate official government filings correctly. There's nothing grey or unusual about a Pakistani founder owning a Florida LLC.

Think about what not having a US LLC is costing you at this moment. Every day without a US entity is another day of Stripe rejections, limited Amazon access, and a checkout experience that international customers don't fully trust. The $125 state filing fee plus our service fee is a one-time investment. Your first US sale covers it.

Florida's annual compliance requirement is one filing per year - an annual report submitted to Sunbiz by May 1st. The standard fee is $138.75. Miss it and the late penalty is $400. We offer compliance reminders and filing support so this never catches you off guard.

No. We specialize in EIN applications for foreign nationals. There's a specific IRS method for founders without an SSN, and we've completed this process for hundreds of non-resident clients. This is the official IRS process - not a workaround.

This is one of the most common - and costly - mistakes Pakistani founders make. Using a personal address that doesn't meet Florida's registered agent requirements puts your LLC at risk of dissolution under Florida Chapter 605. A compliant registered agent must have a verifiable physical Florida street address and be available during business hours. We provide this as part of every package.
