We publish practical guides for people building businesses in the United States from outside it — company formation, investor visa routes, business banking, lending, insurance, and the logistics of relocating.
The reason is simple. Almost every step of this process is documented somewhere, but it is scattered across agency PDFs, law firm marketing pages, and forum threads of varying accuracy. Someone deciding between Delaware and Wyoming, or working out whether they can get an EIN without a Social Security number, deserves a clear explanation with the actual requirements, costs, and timelines in it.
What we cover
- Formation — entity choice, state selection, EIN and ITIN, registered agents, and ongoing filing duties
- Visas — the founder and investor routes, what evidence each requires, and what to ask before hiring counsel
- Funding — SBA programmes, lending for foreign-owned entities, and grant routes that genuinely exist
- Banking — opening and operating US accounts from abroad, and moving money across borders
- Insurance — the cover lenders, landlords, and clients expect from a new business
- Relocation — housing without credit history, transport, and the practical first months
How we produce our content
- We start from real questions. Topics come from what people actually search for and ask, not from what a service provider wants promoted.
- We work from primary sources. Agency guidance, statute, published fee schedules, and provider terms.
- We use technology in our workflow, with human oversight. Research and drafting are assisted by modern tools, and articles are reviewed before publication.
- We update rather than abandon. Fees, thresholds, and eligibility rules change. Guides are reviewed on a rolling schedule and each carries its last-reviewed date.
- We show the numbers. Where a decision involves cost, we show the arithmetic so you can check it against your own situation.
What we are not
We are not a law firm, an immigration adviser, a tax practice, or a regulated financial adviser. We do not file petitions, prepare returns, or arrange credit. Nothing here is legal, immigration, or tax advice.
Immigration and tax decisions carry serious consequences, and the right answer depends on facts we cannot see. Before you act, speak to a licensed immigration attorney or a qualified CPA who knows your circumstances.
