Your own US company for Stripe and PayPal, set up from Pakistan.

Pakistan is not on Stripe's list of supported countries (read 13 October 2026); the United States is. A US LLC with its EIN and a US bank account applies to Stripe as a US business. Stripe decides on every application.

Pakistan is not on PayPal's list of countries and regions (read 13 October 2026); the United States is. A US LLC applies under its own US details, and PayPal decides whether to open the account.

Yes, Amazon's registration guide (read 14 October 2026) says you don't need an LLC or a registered business to sell: you can register as an individual. It also says a US bank account isn't required, because the Amazon Currency Converter can pay your sales proceeds into a bank account outside the US, in the countries it supports. It asks for government-issued ID, an internationally chargeable credit card, a bank account and tax information. A US LLC is one route for sellers who also want US payouts or Stripe; registering as the LLC, you give the company's details.

Business income is taxed in the US when it is effectively connected with a US trade or business — the IRS calls it effectively connected income. Whether your LLC's activity meets that test depends on your facts, and the call is where we look at them.

Yes, if your LLC had a reportable transaction with you — money put in or taken out counts. A foreign-owned single-member LLC files it with a pro-forma 1120, due 15 April for a calendar year (extension on Form 7004 by the same date). It can't be filed electronically; it goes by fax or mail. The penalty for not filing is $25,000.

Yes. The IRS online tool needs an SSN, ITIN or EIN and is open to applicants with a principal place of business or legal residence in the US, so owners abroad apply by phone, fax or mail. The IRS charges no fee for an EIN.

Your LLC needs an EIN: it is the company's number, and the IRS issues it to a foreign owner without an SSN or ITIN — the Form SS-4 instructions say to enter “foreign” or N/A for a responsible party who has neither and can't get one. An ITIN is your own number as a person. The IRS says you need one if you have a federal tax purpose and can't get an SSN — for example, a US tax return you are required to file, or a refund or treaty benefit you claim. Form 5472 asks for the owner's US identifying number “if any”, and takes a reference ID number when none is entered. An ITIN left off every US federal return for 3 consecutive tax years expires on 31 December of the third year.

We prepare your Form W-7 package, and you choose how your passport is checked. A valid passport proves identity and foreign status on its own. One route: post the original or a certified copy from the issuing agency with the application; the IRS returns mailed documents to the address on your Form W-7. The other: an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent, who can verify your passport and hand it back straight away. The IRS list of acceptance agents abroad has a Pakistan page (read 14 October 2026) with agents in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and other cities; each sets its own fee. The IRS sets its own processing time.

We handle your US company: its papers, EIN and ITIN help, its monthly books and its yearly US filings. For Pakistan tax, a Pakistani tax adviser is the right person.

Tell us which years are open. Your quote lists each missing year with its price, and we prepare each one for you to approve. The US penalty is $25,000 per missed Form 5472.

Every service is priced in US dollars. Your written quote states the amount and how to pay. You pay in PKR: the USD price is converted at the State Bank of Pakistan rate on the date of your quote, and the PKR amount is fixed on the quote. Pay by bank transfer after you accept it. These prices are for Pakistan-resident owners; the account details are on your quote.

Your quote gives a date for each deliverable we control. The IRS sets its own processing times, and Form 5472 is due 15 April for a calendar-year LLC.
