What you would handle yourself, and what we take on

Registering an LLC is cheap. The real work starts later, when a bank reviews your documents, a payment provider asks questions or the first IRS filing is due.

What we do for founders outside the US

US LLC Formation

We form your US LLC and provide the EIN, a US business address, the documents banks usually ask for and your filing calendar. You know the price before you pay.

US Market Access

Advice for founders doing business in the US from abroad. We cover banking and payments, expansion into the US, and how US issuers look at companies for credit and cashback.

About us

Who you’ll be working with

Bank Access Check

Which US account fits your country?

Before you spend money on a company, find out which bank and payment routes are realistic for your nationality, residence and business.

Questions we are asked most often

Do I have to live in the US or travel there?

No. The company can be formed and its EIN obtained while you are abroad. Some banks have requirements of their own, and we tell you what they are before you apply.

How long does it take?

We don’t quote a fixed timeline, because the state and the IRS work to their own processing times. We follow every step and keep you informed of where your filing stands.

Will I get a US bank account?

From the Growth package on, we prepare the application with you and tell you which banks are realistic for your nationality, residence and business. Whether an account is opened is decided by the bank alone, so we can’t promise one.

Do I pay tax in the US?

That depends on what the company does. Form 5472 is usually due every year, and your tax obligations in your home country remain. In the Tax package, our partner tax firm prepares Form 5472 with the pro forma Form 1120 for a single-owner LLC without US income. In other cases you get your own offer first.

I already have a US LLC. Can you help?

Yes. The Tax package covers the yearly federal filing and the Renewal package covers agent and address. If you need help with banking, payments or growth, we advise you under US Market Access and send you a written offer with scope and price after a free call.
