Hi, I am glad I found this video! I have a question. I want to start investing in real state. Since I will have properties in the states, so I need a resident visa? I only have a tourist visa.
Foreigners can invest in real estate in the USA 🇺🇸 without a visa if outside the U.S. and under any visa within the U.S. You can buy and invest in real estate while on a tourist visa. However, you cannot engage in work while in the USA under a tourist visa. If investing in U.S. real estate, you'll be subject to FIRPTA, unless you hold the property in a U.S. entity such as a U.S. LLC. We'd be glad to help you form a U.S. LLC for your real estate investments. Book a call with me here subhanlaw.com/book-call-page

Thank you for your feedback. Glad you found the video helpful. Also, see my other video on the 5 most common visa options for entrepreneurs.
You need a work visa or "work authorization" to work from within the 🇺🇸. However, you can own and operate a U.S. LLC from abroad without a visa.
We'd be glad to help you form your U.S. LLC and discuss your immigration options in more detail.Your options depend on your nationality, business plan and industry, geographic location, amount of investment, your educational and professional background, and other factors.

Thank you for walking us through the process. Are there any differences opening a C Corp vs LLC or is the process the same?
Hi Manny. Glad you found the video helpful. Also, there are differences in forming an LLC vs a C-corp. For a C-corp, you'd choose a name and then file articles of incorporation, draft bylaws and a shareholder agreement, issue stock certificates, elect board of directors, obtain EIN, apply for a bank account, and discuss taxes with a tax advisor. Many small businesses start as an LLC and then convert to a C-corp later. Book a call with us to discuss which entity would be best for you subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
@@Subhanlaw thank you for the reply. I understand the LLC is more common but I would be double taxed as a Canadian. I will certainly reach out.
Generally, LLCs are the preferable choice for most entrepreneurs including from Canada. Entrepreneurs from Canada may be able to deduct "foreign tax credits". They may also be eligible for Treaty Benefits in some instances. Furthermore, there is one US jurisdiction that a Canadian entrepreneur can form an LLC and be 100% tax free in the US, if all revenue is made from outside the US and there is no FATCA, CRS, or OECD reporting requirements. We help clients with formation in this location which is not revealed in my videos.
U.S. C-corporations are subject to double taxation. Income of a U.S. corporation would be subject to 21% corporate tax at the federal level, may not be subject to state tax if established in Wyoming, Delaware, etc., any dividends paid to shareholders would also be taxed at the federal level, such income may be sheltered from Canadian taxes until repatriated to Canada. Hence, owners of US corporations are subject to the federal corporate tax rates, capital gains rates, and personal income taxes or double taxation. Also, upon repatriation, there may be another level of taxation in Canada. US LLCs are treated as "corporations" for Canadian tax purposes, but "members" may be afforded Treaty Benefits and foreign tax credits, along with other potential tax strategies.
LLCs avoid double taxation in the US and if taxed as a disregarded entity or partnership, then there are legal ways to minimize your taxes in the US and Canada. For example, we help clients from Canada establish a foreign trust and the foreign trust owns the US LLC. The US LLC income flows through to the trust. The trust then can make a "capital distribution" to the Canadian citizen/trust beneficiary. "Capital distributions" from foreign trusts may not be taxable in Canada.
Now you see there are many paths to legally minimize taxes in the USA and Canada with the use of LLCs and sometimes other international planning vehicles. It's all about getting guidance from an experienced lawyer and accountant who both understand international business formation and international tax issues.

@@Subhanlaw thank you for this information.
Hi Subhan would the same strategy apply to Australian residents? With the LLC single member as individual and then later update to an Australian company a couple years later to include an Australian discretionary trust structure down the track ? Thank you
Recommending an LLC to foreigners is not always the right choice. If you're Canadian, you will be double taxed. In that case, you would form a corporation in Canada and then have that corporation register a C-Corp in the US. If you register an LLC, you're screwed.

Hi Shoubhik,
That's great! When you come to the 🇺🇸 on a F-1 student visa, you can own a U.S. LLC, but you cannot work for your own company without "work authorization."
While in school, you could appoint a manager to operate the business on a daily basis.
You can work for your own company on OPT, if you have the proper licenses and the business is related to your degree.
Here is the exact language "Self-employed business owner. A student on OPT may start a business and be self-employed. The student must be able to prove that he or she has the proper business licenses and is actively engaged in a business related to the student’s degree program."
STEM OPT students may also own and operate a company, if the student can show an "employer-employee" relationship under the law.
We'd be glad to help you establish your company in the 🇺🇸 and make sure your in compliance with immigration law. Book a call with me here subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
@Subhanlaw wow is this also possible with H1B visa? This is great news
Yes. A person on H-1B can own a U.S. company, but cannot work for the company without "work authorization." You could appoint a manager to manage the daily operations. You'll need a customized operating agreement to be in compliance with U.S. immigration law. We provide such an agreement with our service. For more information, please book a call with me here subhanlaw.com/book-call-page

Very informative video. I have a work permit (E2 visa from my husband's work), any other paperwork, what is the next step to run an online business ?
Thank you. Glad you found the video helpful. Also, if you are the spouse of an E-2 investor and you received an E-2 dependent visa and an "employment authorization document (i.e. EAD)," then you can start and run your own online business in the 🇺🇸. Generally, we recommend a Wyoming LLC for online business. To discuss the next steps, book a call with me here subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
Good video, thanks but what about 1040-NR? Shouldn't non resident single proprietor LLC owner fill this form too?
Thanks Mehrdad! Glad you found the video helpful. Also, a single member LLC taxed as a "disregarded entity" may be required to file a 1040NR and W-7, if the foreign national is living outside the US. You'd need to speak with a tax advisor to determine if you'd need to file these additional forms. These forms may or may not be required depending on your circumstances.
Hi Ali, thank you for the video. Is the information provided still accurate? When I seen the video it was 9 months old, so just wanted to check. Kind Regards

What if I'm a Brazilian software developer (living in Brazil), can I have an LLC and use it to invoice other companies? How would that play out? As I would be the one working, would I need a visa?
If so, what would be my options to do that?

Hello, thank you fir the video. I subscribed for more videos.
I have a question. I know an agency in my country who is getting a U.S visa for people for a year. My question is can you extend your visa somehow when you are in the US or do you need to come back after the visa expires?
If yes, what are the ways?
It is possible to extend "status" from within the U.S., not a visa. Visas are only issued through U.S. Embassies/Consulates outside the U.S. A visa allows a foreign national to enter the U.S. on a certain "status" and each status carries certain obligations. For example, a person entering on F-1 student status must continue attending school full-time or otherwise lose status. Therefore, once a person enters the U.S. on a visa in a specific status, then it may be possible to extend such status depending on the particular circumstances.

Hi Ali,
I'm an Egyptian citizen and want to start a web design business that works mainly with U.S. clients and small businesses. I don't really care about where I'll incorporate or register this business... It'll be just me doing everything. What's the best setup? I can't have employees in the U.S. and can't afford to pay salaries or hire anyone; at least at the very beginning.
I also heard that LLCs file their tax returns every quarter, and not on a yearly basis. Is this true? This will come at a price tag of a few hundred dollars every few months... If so, what's the best way to avoid such a thing (another type of setup, perhaps)
Also, let's say I found the best setup and I went ahead and did everything and had a business bank account with any bank (physical or virtual), and I'm the only one working on the business, would I be in trouble for wiring money from my business account to my personal account?
Last question... If I want to outsource some of my work in the future and work with a few individuals (none of them will be a U.S. citizen), would there be any way to list their salaries as business expenses? I understand that freelancers sign a W8-BEN or a 1099. Would that work?
According to the given answer, what are the fees if I want to go with you? Thanks in advance, and kudos for the great content!

Hi, thank you for this awesome video, but i still don’t get it, is the LLC a business license? Or do i have to get a business license after getting an LLC, because i need a business license id so i can creat business accounts and advertise my products in the us.
Hi there. Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Also, I'm happy to provide clarification.
An LLC is a "limited liability company." The LLC is formed in a U.S. state or territory. It offers ease of use, avoids double taxation, and limits personal liability. An LLC is a business entity.
A business license is something separate from an LLC. An LLC can apply for licenses, permits, banking and other accounts, if needed. Depending on the type of business a license may or may not be needed. For example, you do not need a business license to open a U.S. bank account or Amazon FBA account, etc.

Pls I need to get this part concerning management. If I own a online business like selling e-books for example, and I'm overseas without US visa is it permissible for me to singlehandedly run the business, like manage sales, manage account such as payoneer or any other account created for my company through vpn, and send some money to myself in home country when needed . I mean manage everything about this business remotely and earn from the business. Thanks I'll be glad for your response
Hi Gloria. Yes. A foreign national can own a US business and manage it from abroad without a US visa. You do not need a VPN to do this, but may use one if you prefer. The other issue is making sure that you file the appropriate tax forms. Also, you may be eligible to start a tax-free LLC under certain circumstances. Book a call with me here to learn more subhanlaw.com/book-call-page We'd be glad to help you setup your US business the right way.

I am from India so, can I start a youtube channel in USA without green card ?
Hi Vinod. Glad you found the video helpful! Also, you can start a U.S. business from India. In addition, you can run a TH-cam channel from India with a Google account. To work in the 🇺🇸, you need "work authorizarion." Generally, to work in the U.S. an Indian citizen will need a work visa.

Hi Ali, so can I start a soccer coaching personal training business or soccer academy on my own on a regular student visa or a regular travel visa? Or do I need a work permit for that? I will be the owner and I also will be running the daily activities as I am the coach. But I am on a student visa currently.
Hi Qian. You may be able do so under OPT with an EAD. To qualify for OPT, the job position (i.e. soccer coach) would need to be related to your field of study. You need "work authorization" to operate the business from within the U.S. on F-1. Book a call with me to discuss subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
What if you're a US citizen, but do not want your SSN connected to your EIN? How do you ensure your business is taxed separately from you? Would you recommend still filling out the SS-4 form?
Hi there. An SSN and EIN are not "connected." They are separate and distinct identifiers, the SSN is used to identify you personally and the EIN to identify your business. Also, a U.S. citizen does not need to file form SS-4 and can apply for an EIN online. In addition, an LLC is a pass-through entity and all income is reported on your personal federal tax return, along with a Schedule C. An LLC can be taxed as a disregarded entity, partnership, corporation, or S-corporation. You may also consider forming a corporation. Consult with a business attorney to determine the best type of entity for you and speak with a tax advisor to determine the best tax classification for you. We focus on helping foreign entrepreneurs and investors with business formations, immigration, and taxation. Unfortunately, we would not be able to help you. Please contact a business attorney who helps U.S. citizens and a tax advisor for more guidance. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. We have a software company in India and we have many customers in USA and we wish to start a bank account or company. Sometimes we have problem in fund transfer from US clients via wire. Do I need to register a company to get payments and then transfer to India or just a bank account is enough?
To establish a U.S. business bank account, you'll need to form a U.S. entity. Your company in India can be a 100% owner of the U.S. business, that's called a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary. Generally, for a software business, we recommend a Wyoming LLC. Book a Zoom call with me here to discuss subhanlaw.com/book-call-page
YOU DO NOT NEED LLC FOR THIS PURPOSE. YOU CAN GET A PAYPAL OR STRIPE ACCOUNT USING YOUR INDIAN CURRENT ACCOUNT WITH GST DETAILS
Thanks for your comment Lokesh. You are correct. Another alternative to accepting payments is signing up with a payment gateway provider such as PayPal or Stripe. However, if you want to have a U.S. business bank account, then you'll need a U.S. entity. Hope this helps.

Hi Subhan I am glade I have found you !!! I Want to br a freight broker who connects clients (who want to ship their car from 1 City to another) and truck divers and get commission over the call once both parties agreed. But hurdle is non us resident can't get surety bond so we are forced to add someone who is US resident so what type of LLC I would form ? Once us resident will be the partner in LLC thn we will be able to get surety bond on his name.
Hi Abu. Foreign nationals that own a US LLC may apply for a freight broker bond and apply for the company's MC and DOT numbers. You should contact some other brokers to discuss getting a bond, some require US legal status of the principal, and it is my understanding that others do not.
