For Argentine founders
Form a US LLC from Argentina and keep revenue in dollars.
Stripe does not support businesses incorporated in Argentina, and while the cepo was lifted for individuals in 2025, exchange controls on companies remain in force. A Wyoming LLC with an EIN puts your revenue on a dollar rail from the start.

Why Argentine founders need a US LLC
The challenges of building globally from Argentina.
Stripe does not support Argentine companies
Argentina does not appear among the countries where Stripe supports businesses, and there is no preview or invite tier. For a founder building SaaS or selling digital products globally, that removes the default payment stack before you start.
Corporate exchange controls did not go away in 2025
The cepo cambiario was lifted for individuals in April 2025 — residents can buy dollars at the official rate without the old monthly cap. Controls on companies are a separate regime and remain in force; BCRA leadership confirmed in May 2026 that lifting them was not a near-term priority. If you read that the cepo is gone, check whether the source means individuals or companies.
Local processors settle in pesos
Mercado Pago and the local acquiring market settle resident merchants in Argentine pesos. Where dollar settlement exists at all it tends to come at a penalised rate. For a business whose customers pay in dollars, that means converting into the currency you were trying to avoid.
Peso exposure compounds the problem
Revenue that lands in pesos is exposed to inflation between the moment a customer pays and the moment you use the money. Founders selling abroad increasingly want the dollars to stay dollars until they choose otherwise.
The solution
What a US LLC gives Argentine founders.
1
A Wyoming LLC is what makes Stripe possible
Stripe supports US businesses with an EIN. Forming a Wyoming LLC and getting an EIN is the standard route Argentine founders use to reach Stripe and dollar-denominated checkout — a real company you own, formed entirely remotely.
2
Revenue lands outside the peso
With a US LLC and a US business account, international revenue arrives in dollars and stays there until you decide to move it. That is the practical change, and it is why most Argentine founders look at this structure.
3
$100 to form, $60 a year to maintain
Wyoming charges $100 to file Articles of Organization and $60 a year for the annual report (or $0.0002 per dollar of Wyoming-based assets, whichever is greater), with no state income tax.
Argentina exports software and digital services at scale, and the structural problem founders describe is consistent: the work is dollar-denominated, the customers are abroad, and the local financial system is built around a peso economy operating under exchange controls that have changed repeatedly. A US LLC does not exempt anyone from Argentine tax — it changes where revenue first arrives and what currency it arrives in.

FAQ
Questions from Argentine founders.
Specific answers for founders forming a US LLC from Argentina.
View full pricing →Can an Argentine resident legally own a US LLC?
Yes. There is no prohibition on an Argentine resident owning a foreign company. What comes with it is reporting: a foreign participation is generally within scope of Bienes Personales even if the company is dormant, and foreign shareholdings fall under ARCA's informational regime. Budget for an Argentine accountant who handles foreign structures — this is not a set-and-forget arrangement.
Could ARCA treat my US LLC as an Argentine company?
It is a real risk worth understanding before you form. Where an LLC has no genuine substance abroad and is operated entirely from Argentina, the tax authority may look through the structure and treat the income as Argentine. Forming a US LLC to serve genuine international customers is ordinary; forming one purely to relocate income on paper while everything actually happens in Argentina is the case that attracts scrutiny. Take Argentine tax advice on your specific facts — this is the single most important question on this page and it is not one a formation service can answer for you.
Is the cepo really over?
For individuals, largely yes — the April 2025 reforms removed the monthly purchase cap and prior-approval requirement for personas humanas, and the peso now floats within a band. For companies, no: corporate exchange controls remain in force, confirmed by BCRA in May 2026. Argentina's FX regime changes often enough that any statement about it, including this one, should be checked against a current source. This page reflects the position as of 28 July 2026.
Is there a US–Argentina tax treaty?
No. Argentina does not appear on the IRS list of countries with a US income tax treaty in force. That affects how US-source income is withheld and taxed, and it is a concrete reason to take cross-border tax advice rather than assuming your position matches a founder in a treaty country.
How long does formation take?
Wyoming typically processes LLC filings in one to three business days after submission. The EIN follows — foreign founders apply by fax or mail, since the IRS online tool is not available to applicants based outside the US.
Do I need to understand US legal paperwork?
No. RazorFile keeps the process plain-language and organised so you know what is needed, what is paid, and what happens next at every stage of your order.
What is a Registered Agent and do I need one?
A Registered Agent is required for every US LLC, regardless of where you live. They receive official government and legal correspondence on your company's behalf at a physical address in your formation state. RazorFile provides this service.
