What Can You Use a US LLC For?

And why it’s the ideal setup for modern entrepreneurs

The United States — often misunderstood as a high-tax country — actually offers one of the simplest and most tax-friendly company forms for entrepreneurs without residency or those living in jurisdictions that do not tax foreign income (e.g., UAE, Malta, Cyprus, Monaco). With excellent banking access and minimal red tape, the US LLC is a top-tier solution.
