What it is for

The world pays moreto those who are a company.

Foreign tools and clients have a door that individuals cannot open, and that is exactly the door the LLC unlocks.

Opens with the LLC
Stripe, PayPal and the global gatewaysRecurring billing, international checkout and payments in dollars, in the company's name.
Mercury and Wise BusinessA US business account run from your phone, with no branch and no travel.
Deel, wire and the demanding clientA company abroad that only pays a company invoice: you sit at the table as a US legal entity.
The LLC is not
A Paraguayan companyIt does not invoice local clients: for that there are the individual RUC and the EAS. Each kind of money comes in through the right door.
A hiding placeThe owner is declared to the IRS every year (Form 5472). Anyone seeking anonymity is not a Romper client.
A fix for US royaltiesKDP, Spotify and stock banks withhold 30% at the source, and no Brazil–Paraguay structure removes that. We would rather lose the sale than sell you an illusion.
Why Delaware

A single state.The best of them all.

By strategy and convenience, Romper works with a single state: Delaware, the most mature in the country for companies. A dedicated business court (the Court of Chancery, no jury), the most tested LLC laws in the US, no state sales tax, and formation in 3 to 5 business days.

  • Registered agent and address in Delaware: a legal requirement, already inside the package.
  • EIN, the US tax ID: obtained by Romper directly at the IRS, without you having an SSN.
  • Opening without traveling to the US: the entire process is remote, with Romper following every step.

State costs, on screen: a formation fee of US$ 140 and a franchise tax of US$ 300 per year (due June 1), passed through, disclosed upfront, like everything here.

The Romper map

What is your structure?Three answers tell.

The starting point is always the same: Immigration + Personal Accounting. The rest depends on where your money is born.

1Where is your money born?
2Do you need Stripe, PayPal, Mercury or Wise Business?
3Do you have assets in Paraguay to protect?
What the cheap site does not tell you

Opening costs little.Abandoning costs US$ 25,000.

A foreigner's LLC owes the IRS a form every year, the Form 5472, even with the company at zero. Forgetting it costs a US$ 25,000 penalty, plus another US$ 25,000 every 30 days.

The cheap-site LLC
Opens in minutes, forgotten in monthsNobody warns you about the 5472, the June 1 franchise tax, the expired registered agent. The company becomes a liability in the worst country to have one.
Automatic penaltyThe IRS does not send a reminder to Asunción. The penalty arrives ready-made, and the US$ 99 bargain becomes the most expensive company of your life.

The other half

The LLC is the door.The tax exit is the key.

As long as you are a tax resident in Brazil, Law 14.754 taxes your LLC's profit every year, distributed or not: 15% straight on your return. With the tax exit done and your domicile in Paraguay, Brazilian law no longer reaches you, and the LLC goes back to doing what it promises. That is why Romper sells the two together.

Who runs it

A structure that talks to itself.Not four vendors.

Romper's LLC lives on the same panel as your immigration and your Paraguayan accounting: the US and the Paraguayan sides move together, with the same team answering for both, in Portuguese.

  • Formation, agent and EIN by Romper: you never talk to a US form.
  • The LLC invoice in the same app: next to the Paraguayan invoices.
  • Corporate account guidance, Mercury and Wise Business: Romper guides and follows up; the bank is the one that approves.

Where Romper says no

The right LLC startsby saying who it is not for.

Better to know now than to find out in the penalty.

US-source royaltiesKDP, Spotify, stock: the IRS's 30% withholding does not vanish with any structure. If that is your income, the LLC does not solve it, and we would rather tell you.does not solve it
AnonymityThe LLC owner is reported to the IRS every year on Form 5472. Anyone promising you US secrecy is selling you a penalty.not accepted
A Brazil tax resident who wants “just the LLC”It works, paying 15% to Brazil every year (Law 14.754). Romper sells it anyway, with the warning in writing; the full design includes the tax exit.the conversation decides
Anyone who will not keep it upAn abandoned LLC is a US$ 25,000 penalty waiting for a date. If it is not to be kept current, better not to open it, and Romper tells you that for free.think first

The questions from those who open an LLC

Short answers, on purpose. The design of your case, the immigration manager covers in the meeting.

Do I need a Paraguayan cédula to open one?
No. The LLC is the only piece of the ecosystem that requires nothing from Paraguay. Just your passport. That is why it is often the entry door to the whole structure.
How long until it is ready?
The company is born in 3 to 5 business days in Delaware. The EIN for a foreigner (no SSN) takes a few weeks at the IRS: it is the honest timeline the cheap sites hide. Romper runs it all.
What is this Form 5472?
The annual report that every foreign-owned LLC owes the IRS, even at zero. Forgetting it costs US$ 25,000. Here, it is filed every year within the annual fee, you never even see it.
Didn't the Offshore Law kill the LLC?
It killed the LLC of anyone who stays a tax resident in Brazil: 15% on profit every year, distributed or not. With the tax exit done and domicile in Paraguay, Brazilian law no longer reaches you; that is why the two go together here.
Which platforms pay straight into the LLC?
Stripe, PayPal, Deel, client wires and most global gateways. The corporate account, Mercury or Wise Business, Romper guides and follows up; the bank is the one that approves.
Can I have a partner in the LLC?
You can. An additional partner costs US$ 247. Note: if one partner did the tax exit and the other did not, each one's tax treatment is different. We design that beforehand.
Can the LLC sit inside my holding?
It can. The EAS can be a partner in the LLC, and then the US company stops depending on you being alive. It is a manager's design, case by case. The Asset Holding page explains it.
What if I already have an LLC opened on another site?
Bring the case to the manager. Each situation (state, liabilities, late filings) calls for a different design, and sometimes the cheapest path is to start clean in Delaware.

The world pays in dollars.You just need the door.

An LLC in Delaware with the US accounting inside: in days, with just your passport, on the same panel as everything you already have at Romper.
