German Business EIN FAQ
Can a German GmbH get a US EIN?
Yes! German companies (GmbH, UG, AG) can obtain US EINs directly, or form a US subsidiary (LLC or Inc.) with its own EIN.
Do I need to visit the US?
No! The entire process—LLC formation, EIN application, and bank account opening—can be completed remotely from Germany.
US LLC or US Corporation for Germans?
For most German entrepreneurs, a Wyoming LLC is simpler. If seeking US investors or planning significant US operations, a Delaware C-Corp may be better. Consult your Steuerberater.
