Form US LLC & EIN
Budget: €8 – €30 EUR
I am a non-US resident preparing to launch an e-commerce business on Shopify and I need end-to-end assistance getting fully operational in the United States. The key items on my checklist are:
• Registering a United-States-based LLC in a business-friendly state, including a compliant operating agreement and registered agent setup.
• Securing an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS as quickly as possible.
• Getting my Shopify store approved to accept payments through Stripe (PayPal or other gateways may follow later, but Stripe is the immediate priority).
Please guide me through every procedural step—state filing, EIN application, KYC/AML paperwork, bank account or virtual banking alternatives, and any tax or compliance forms a non-resident owner must file (e.g., W-8BEN-E). I’d also like clear, written instructions so I can replicate routine tasks (annual reports, tax filings) on my own after the engagement ends.
Acceptance criteria: LLC formed and active in the chosen state, EIN issued and verifiable, Stripe account live and able to process a $1 test transaction from my Shopify store.
If you have successfully completed this exact workflow for other international founders, let’s talk—speed and accuracy are critical.
