Expansion Simplified: Your Questions Answered.
Everything you need to know about launching and operating your business in the United States.
Do I need a US Social Security Number (SSN) to start?
No. We specialize in obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for international founders using only your passport.
How long does it take to form an LLC?
Typically, the process takes between 10 to 30 days depending on state processing times (Texas or Delaware) and IRS response for your EIN.
What is the difference between an LLC and a C-Corp?
An LLC offers flexibility and "pass-through" taxation, while a C-Corp is often preferred by founders seeking US venture capital. We discuss this in your Legal Strategy session.
Do I have to travel to the US to open a bank account?
Not necessarily. We guide you through modern "Neo-bank" options that allow for remote setup, though some traditional banks may require a physical presence.
What are my ongoing tax obligations?
Even with no US physical presence, foreign-owned entities must file annual reports and specific IRS forms (like Form 5472). Our Back Office team manages this for you.
