We start by understanding the business, then recommend the setup that fits
Planning to enter the U.S. market, sell on Amazon, take payments through Stripe, work with international clients, or scale an IT product?
- Registering an entity is the easy part. What matters is getting the setup right from day one: entity type, state, tax treatment, and how the company will be supported once it's running.
- We look at your industry, expected volume, payment processors, marketplace requirements, and reporting obligations. That's how you avoid the unnecessary costs and the mistakes that usually surface months after launch.
WHAT WE HELP WITH
WHAT WE
HELP WITH
- Full-Service Company FormationWe take on the whole process, from choosing the state and entity type to preparing and filing the formation documents. There's no default package here - the structure follows the actual business model: e-commerce, IT, professional services, consulting, international trade, or marketplace sales.
- Amazon and eCommerce CompaniesWe help put the legal structure in place for selling on Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, Etsy, and other platforms. We also advise on sales tax, tax settings inside your marketplace and processor accounts, and how sales data should flow into the books once orders start coming in.
- EIN and Tax RegistrationsWe apply for your federal EIN and, where the business needs them, handle state-level tax registrations. You'll need an EIN to open a business bank account, file returns, and get approved by processors like Stripe, Paddle, and Square.
- Business Banking and PaymentsWe advise on which banks and fintech platforms fit your profile and prepare the documents you'll need to apply. Once the account is open, the company can send and receive money by ACH, domestic wire, and international wire over SWIFT.
- Ongoing Business AdvisoryThe questions don't stop at formation. We advise on taxes, bookkeeping, IRS requirements, accounting methods, payment platforms, annual report filings, sales tax, and the rest of what a U.S. company owes each year..
- Business Address and Mail HandlingWe provide a U.S. address for the state filing and arrange registered agent service, then handle the official mail. Anything that needs your attention is forwarded to you by email.
Why the Setup Matters
From Day One
From Day One
Anyone can file formation paperwork through an online service. That doesn't mean the default package fits your business.
An Amazon seller, a SaaS company, a consulting agency, and an import/export business don't have the same requirements. Entity type, state, reporting, tax obligations, and even which banks will approve the account can all be different.
So we start with a consultation.
We look at the business, flag the risks, and recommend a structure that still works as the company grows - not just on filing day.

Good preparation lets you:
- Choose the entity type that fits how you actually operate;
- Keep errors out of the formation documents;
- Get an EIN and start transacting;
- Walk into a bank application prepared;
- Know your tax obligations before they come due;
- Set up bookkeeping properly instead of cleaning it up later.

You can keep coming to us with bookkeeping, taxes, annual reports, sales tax, banking questions, and whatever else comes up as the business runs.
Which State Should You Form In?
There's no single right answer. The state depends on what the business does, where it operates,
the reporting you're willing to take on, and where you're headed.

Why Businesses Choose Accounting City
Formation is the first step, not the finish line. What matters next is whether the company can actually operate: take payments, keep books, file what it owes, and know where it stands.

Entering a new market, getting payments running, selling through marketplaces, tightening up the tax structure, raising capital, or organizing international operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes - the whole process is handled remotely. We pick the entity type and state, file the formation documents, apply for the EIN, and prepare what the bank will ask for. You never need to set foot in the United States.
That comes down to the business model. An LLC usually fits online businesses, agencies, consulting firms, e-commerce sellers, and small companies. A Corporation makes more sense for startups, investor-backed businesses, and anyone planning to raise capital.
The total depends on the state, the entity type, the state's filing fees, and whatever else you need - EIN, business address, bank account, sales tax registration, Amazon setup, bookkeeping. We quote the full setup after the consultation, once we know what the business actually requires.
The state should be selected based on the business - not on which state happens to be popular. Wyoming may work for one business, while Delaware, Florida, Texas, or another state may make more sense for another.
Taxes, reporting requirements, ongoing costs, and the company's future plans all need to be considered.
Taxes, reporting requirements, ongoing costs, and the company's future plans all need to be considered.
A formed entity, an EIN, the corporate documents, and a correctly completed tax interview in your Amazon seller account. You'll also want to know where sales tax obligations can arise before your volume grows.
Once the company is formed and the EIN is issued, you can apply. Banks and fintech platforms typically ask for the formation documents, owner identification, a description of what the business does, and proof of the ownership structure.
An online service files paperwork. It won't tell you which entity type suits your model, which state to file in, how the tax setup should look, or how to run the books. A wrong turn at the start shows up later as extra cost, a declined bank application, or a reporting problem.
Yes. We apply to the IRS once the entity exists. The IRS online application requires a Social Security Number or ITIN, so applicants without one file Form SS-4 by fax or mail instead - slower, and the company and responsible party details have to be right the first time.
That depends on the state and its current processing times. Some states turn filings around in days.
Others take longer, especially when a filing needs extra review or when tax IDs have to be issued before you can move on.
Others take longer, especially when a filing needs extra review or when tax IDs have to be issued before you can move on.
You'll need the entity, an EIN, a business bank account, a working website, a business email address, and a clear description of what the company sells.
These platforms also review the owners, the business model, and where the company is actually managed from.

Books tell you what the business earns, what it spends, whether it's profitable, which tax obligations apply, and when filings come due.
Even for a small company, keeping records current beats reconstructing a year of receipts at tax time.
Even for a small company, keeping records current beats reconstructing a year of receipts at tax time.
It depends on where the business has a physical footprint - inventory sitting in a warehouse, employees, an office - and where your sales cross a state's economic nexus threshold. Marketplace facilitator rules can shift collection onto Amazon or Etsy for sales made through those channels, but they don't cover everything you sell. For e-commerce businesses this is worth reviewing before volume grows, not after.
Look for a team that knows what happens after the certificate arrives. Formation, taxes, bookkeeping, banking, and marketplace requirements are all connected.
Working with people who handle all of it gets you more than a folder of documents - it gets you a company you can actually operate.

Yes. Formation can start before the first sale. During the consultation we work through the planned business model, entity type, state, accounting method, and the documents you'll need. The domain, business email, phone number, and payment setup can be arranged at the same time.
Because formation is the first step, not the last. After it come bookkeeping, tax returns, state filings, annual reports, sales tax, and other requirements. Knowing what's coming makes the company easier to run and keeps penalties off the table.
