US LLC for Mexican Companies

US LLC for Mexican Companies

If your company already sells in the United States or plans to, having your own US company makes it easier to invoice US customers, hire staff, lease offices or warehouses and operate without intermediaries. The most common option is an LLC (Limited Liability Company), a limited liability company that is simple to manage.

Through our Houston affiliate, MABE International Advisors, we set up your company, register it with the US tax authorities and handle its bookkeeping, payroll and taxes, coordinated with your accounting in Mexico.

Who a US LLC is right for

  • Mexican companies that sell to US customers and want to invoice from the US.
  • Companies opening an office, warehouse or plant in the United States.
  • Exporters that need a US entity for contracts or logistics.
  • Mexican partners who want to invest or do business in the United States.
  • Companies that already have an LLC and need to put it in order.

What to consider

  • State of formation: each state has different requirements, costs and obligations; it is best chosen based on where you will operate.
  • Type of entity: an LLC and a corporation are taxed differently in the United States and in Mexico.
  • Tax registration: the company needs its IRS identification number to operate, hire and open accounts.
  • Ongoing obligations: state reports and federal returns that must be filed every year.
  • Impact in Mexico: the LLC may also create obligations in Mexico; the tax treaty helps avoid paying twice.

Requirements, costs and deadlines change depending on the state and your activity. In the first consultation we review which ones apply to you.
