An open notebook and pen, ready to plan the next step.
Who is the service for?

Nonresident founders and freelancers living outside the United States who want a US LLC with one owner. Digital nomads are at the heart of the service. These packages are not offered to US citizens.

Can I use a package for a business with partners?

These packages cover LLCs with one owner. Businesses with multiple owners are outside their scope.

What makes this a concierge service?

You choose the level of support, and we take care of the work included in your package with personal guidance along the way. You do not need to assemble your own company-formation package.

What does the USD $350 service include?

US LLC formation, state formation fees and registered-agent service. The USD $799 service adds your EIN and banking guidance; the annual service adds business essentials and ongoing care.

What is an EIN, and is it included?

An EIN is a US business tax identification number used in processes such as business-account applications. We arrange it in the USD $799 and USD $1,999 annual services.

Which package handles Mercury and Stripe applications?

The USD $1,999 annual service includes handling your Mercury and Stripe applications using the information and verification you provide. The USD $799 service includes banking setup guidance.

What information is needed for Mercury and Stripe applications?

We use your real business details, ownership information and the documents each provider requests. You review and complete any verification steps that require your direct participation.

Do you create a website for my business?

Yes. The annual service includes an optional premium, modern website with professionally designed sections. Professional hosting, a global CDN, a standard-registration .com domain and renewal, and minor updates are included while your annual service is active.

How can a website help with my applications?

It gives account providers a clear, accessible explanation of your business and what you offer. Mercury says a relevant website helps its team evaluate applications, and Stripe reviews online business information.

What does the annual service take care of?

It includes creation of your US LLC, its EIN and banking guidance, plus handling your Mercury and Stripe applications, a US business address and phone number, annual reporting for your LLC, and an optional website with hosting, a standard .com domain and minor maintenance.

What website maintenance is included?

Minor changes to the existing website, such as updating text or business information, are included. A complete redesign or new pages can be arranged through an additional service package.

Is the website compulsory?

The website is optional within the annual package. You can choose the annual service for its other included support even if you do not need us to create a site.

Does the annual service include a US address and phone number?

Yes, both are included. Account providers may still ask for information about where you actually live and operate your business.

Are there potential tax benefits?

A single-owner LLC may provide useful tax treatment for a nonresident founder. The outcome depends on the work you do, where you do it and your tax situation. Forming a US company alone does not remove taxes that apply to you elsewhere.

Read the guide to potential tax benefits.
Can I run the business while living abroad?

The service is designed for founders living abroad. The banking and payment services available to you depend on your residence, business activity and the provider's requirements.

Do you offer a service for US citizens living abroad?

These packages are designed for non-US citizens within the service's nonresident, solo-owner scope. US citizens are not covered, including those living abroad.

How do I start?

Compare the three services, choose the support you want and proceed to payment. We then guide you through the business information needed for your service.

Can I get help choosing a service?

Yes. Contact us with a brief description of your business and the support you are looking for.
