The differentiator

The Dubai + US LLC advantage

Pair a UAE free-zone company (your regional base, tax-efficient) with a US LLC (Stripe, US banking, US clients). We structure both so they work together — and so you don’t overpay tax on either side. That’s the difference between a filing service and a tax firm.

UAE Free Zone Regional base

Tax-efficient home for your regional operations, residency and Golden Visa — the foundation of your structure.

+

US LLC Global reach

A recognised US entity for Stripe, US banking and US clients — without giving up your UAE advantages.

What you get

Everything you need to run a US business

A complete US setup — not a certificate in a PDF. Here’s what a PRF US LLC unlocks.

Accept payments with Stripe & PayPal

Open US merchant accounts and charge cards from customers anywhere in the world.

Open a US business bank account

We help you open US banking with providers like Mercury and Wise — fully remote.

Sell to US clients with confidence

A recognised US entity makes it easy for American clients to contract with and pay you.

100% foreign ownership, no US partner

Get an EIN without a US SSN

We obtain your federal tax ID (EIN) directly from the IRS — no Social Security Number needed.

How it works

Four steps, one team

From your first call to ongoing compliance, the same people handle your US LLC and your UAE company. No hand-offs, no gaps.

Fully remote

You never travel to the US. Everything — formation, EIN, banking and Stripe — is handled from Dubai, typically in a few weeks.

1

Free consultation

We pick the right state and structure for your UAE setup — so your US LLC fits your bigger picture, not just your paperwork.

2

We form your LLC and obtain your EIN

Company filing, registered agent and operating agreement, then your EIN from the IRS — no SSN required.

3

We help you open US banking + Stripe

Introductions to US banking (Mercury, Wise) and set-up guidance for Stripe and PayPal so you can start collecting payments.

4

Ongoing compliance — US and UAE

Your annual US filings and your UAE accounting and tax, handled by one team, year after year.

The timeline

What actually happens — and how long it takes

Honest timelines. Most of it is fast; the EIN is the one step that takes patience when you don’t have a US SSN — and we handle it for you.

01
A couple of days

LLC formed

Your Wyoming or Delaware LLC is filed and approved, with your registered agent and operating agreement in place.

02
~2–4 weeks

EIN obtained

For non-US founders without an SSN, the IRS typically takes two to four weeks to issue an EIN. We handle the application and follow-up so you don’t have to.

03
~1–3 weeks

US banking + Stripe set up

Once the EIN lands, we help you open US business banking (Mercury / Wise) and get Stripe and PayPal ready to accept payments.

Fully remote from the UAE — typically a few weeks end to end.

Where formation mills stop — and we don’t

A US LLC isn’t done when it’s formed — it has to stay compliant

A foreign-owned US LLC has to file US tax forms every single year — a Form 5472 together with a pro-forma Form 1120 — even when there’s no US tax to pay. Miss it and IRS penalties start at USD 25,000. Most formation services either charge extra for this or simply leave you to work it out yourself.

PRF handles your US LLC compliance and your UAE side, together — so nothing falls through the cracks between two countries.

  • Form 5472 + 1120Your annual IRS filing for foreign-owned LLCs, prepared and filed on time.
  • BookkeepingClean US books so your filings are accurate and your Stripe income is properly recorded.
  • UAE Corporate Tax interactionWe advise how the US LLC interacts with your UAE CT so the whole structure stays compliant.

Why PRF

A tax firm, not a filing mill

The only US LLC setup backed by an in-house audit license, FTA-registered tax agents and Big 4 expertise — so your US and UAE structure is set up right and kept compliant by one team.

In-house audit license

PRF is a Ministry of Economy (MoE) Authorized Auditor. Formation services and most setup agents aren’t — PRF’s audited financials are accepted by UAE banks and free zones.

FTA Registered Tax Agent(s)

Licensed to represent you before the UAE Federal Tax Authority — something a filing mill simply cannot do for you.

In-house accounting & compliance

Not outsourced or referred out. The same team keeps your books, files your tax and signs your audit — for both your US LLC and your UAE company.

Big 4 expertise

Ex-Big 4 leadership and 15+ years of UAE experience — named, credentialled Chartered Accountants advising your structure.

More than a formation service

A filing tool can’t do what a tax firm does

Most US LLC services are filing tools — they form the company and hand you a login. PRF brings 15+ years of Big 4-level tax, audit and compliance expertise: registered tax agents, an in-house audit license, and a team that has structured US + UAE setups for enterprises like Americana, Fujitsu and Landmark. When your LLC needs a US tax return, a bank-ready audit, or advice on how it interacts with your UAE Corporate Tax, a formation website can’t help — we can.

FAQ

Questions UAE founders ask us

Yes — 100%. A UAE resident (or any non-US person) can own a US LLC outright. You don’t need US residency, a green card, a US partner or a Social Security Number to be the owner.

No. The whole process is remote — company formation, EIN, and the introductions for US banking and Stripe are all handled from the UAE. You never have to travel to the United States.

Wyoming is popular for its lower fees, strong privacy and no state income tax — a great fit for most online and services businesses. Delaware is usually preferred if you plan to raise venture capital. We recommend the right state for your situation on your call.

Yes. A US LLC together with an EIN and a US business bank account enables Stripe US — and other US merchant accounts such as PayPal — so you can accept card payments from customers worldwide.

Usually it’s best to run both. Your UAE free-zone company is your tax-efficient regional base; the US LLC gives you US banking, Stripe and a recognised US entity. We structure the dual setup so the two work together.

Yes. A foreign-owned single-member US LLC must file Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 each year, even with no US tax due — and penalties for missing it start at USD 25,000. Many formation services leave this to you; PRF handles it as part of your ongoing compliance.

It can, depending on how the LLC is owned and where it’s managed. We advise how the US LLC interacts with UAE Corporate Tax so your structure stays compliant on both sides. General information, not tax advice — we give a specific recommendation for your case.
