US LLC for SaaS Founders
US LLC for SaaS startups targeting US/global customers
Start your LLC — €249Why SaaS Founders need a US LLC
SaaS founders outside the US lose 5-15% to Stripe foreign fees, get rejected by Stripe in some countries, and look less credible to US enterprise buyers. A US LLC fixes all three.
- Lower Stripe fees: 2.9% + $0.30 (US) vs 3.4-4.4% (international)
- Higher trust with US/EU enterprise buyers
- Easier to integrate with US analytics, SOC 2 reports, banking
- Tax flexibility: pass-through means no double taxation
- Optional conversion to Delaware C-Corp later if raising VC

SaaS Founders FAQ
Wyoming or Delaware for SaaS?▾
Wyoming if you're bootstrapping or not raising VC. Delaware only if you plan to raise from US VCs in the next 12 months.
What about Stripe Atlas?▾
Stripe Atlas is Delaware-only at $500. Llcora's Wyoming plan is €429 — same end result, lower price, more flexible state choice.
Do I need to convert to C-Corp later?▾
Only if/when you raise from institutional US investors. Pass-through LLC is fine indefinitely for bootstrapped SaaS.
