a USA based company vs an USA based company

The phrase that should be used is 'a USA-based company.' The article 'a' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound, even if the first letter is a vowel. In this case, 'USA' is pronounced as 'you-es-ay,' starting with a consonant sound.

This phrase is correct. 'A' is used before words that start with a consonant sound, even if the first letter is a vowel.
