These results are indicative and based on general rules. They're not tax or legal advice – every situation is different.

You'll need

Entity Formation

Hiring, relocating staff and raising U.S. funding usually require a U.S. company. For foreign founders, an EIN and a bank account can take weeks.

You can sell to U.S. customers without a U.S. company, but a local entity makes contracts, banking and partnerships easier. We'll help you decide.

U.S. investors typically expect a Delaware C-corp. If your U.S. company is an LLC or in another state, check whether you'll need to convert.

Why this applies to you

You'll have employees in the U.S.
Someone on your team is relocating to the U.S.
You plan to raise from U.S. investors, who typically expect a Delaware C-corp.
You already sell to U.S. customers.
You're planning your U.S. launch.

You'll need

Corporate Tax

A U.S. company generally files a federal return every year, even with zero revenue. Most foreign-owned ones also file Form 5472 ($25,000 penalty if missed).

Even without a U.S. company, you can owe U.S. tax: people working for you here can create federal filings, and some states tax on sales alone.

Why this applies to you

You have a U.S. company.
Your plans point to setting up a U.S. company.
You expect $500K+ in U.S. revenue – the range where some states start taxing companies on sales alone.
You work with contractors in the U.S.
Your team spends long stretches in the U.S.
You're planning your U.S. launch – how you set up decides which taxes apply.
Your U.S. revenue is still uncertain.

You'll need

Accounting & Bookkeeping

Your U.S. company needs its own books, kept to U.S. standards and ready for tax filings – something home-country teams rarely handle.

With a U.S. finance hire planned, you may not need full bookkeeping. Many companies use outside help until that hire starts, or to review the year-end.

If you set up a U.S. company or take on U.S. tax filings, you'll need books that support them. Getting it right early beats cleaning up later.

Why this applies to you

Your books will be kept from your home country.
You haven't decided who will keep your U.S. books.
You're planning a dedicated U.S. finance hire.
You don't have a U.S. company yet, but your plans could bring U.S. tax filings.
Your parent company will need your U.S. numbers for group reporting.
Banks or lenders will expect reliable financial statements.

You'll need

Sales Tax

Each state sets its own sales tax. You can owe it with no office there once sales pass a threshold (most often $100K) – likely in at least one state.

Many companies cross a state sales tax threshold sooner than expected – and if you don't collect, the tax becomes your cost. Track sales by state now.

Most states don't tax professional services, but some tax most services or specific ones. At your revenue, check the states where your clients are.

Why this applies to you

You sell physical products.
You sell software or digital products, which a growing number of states tax.
You sell services.
You expect $500K+ in U.S. revenue.
You expect $100K–$500K in U.S. revenue – enough to cross a state threshold if sales are concentrated in one state.
Your U.S. revenue is still uncertain.

You'll need

Payroll

U.S. payroll means federal and state withholding, registering in each state where employees work, and quarterly tax filings.

You may not need U.S. payroll yet, but plan before your first U.S. hire or move: withholding, state registration and filings start with the first paycheck.

Why this applies to you

You'll have U.S. employees.
You work with U.S. contractors – treating someone as a contractor when they should be an employee can lead to back taxes and penalties.
Someone is relocating to the U.S. and will likely need to be on U.S. payroll.

You'll need

Benefits Coordination

U.S. employees expect benefits – health insurance above all. We help you compare options (including PEOs) and build a package for your budget.

You may not need U.S. benefits yet, but health coverage comes up as soon as someone moves here, and benefits weigh on every U.S. job offer.

Why this applies to you

You'll have U.S. employees.
With 50 or more full-time employees (including full-time equivalents), federal rules generally require you to offer qualifying health coverage or risk penalties.
Someone relocating to the U.S. will need U.S. health coverage.

Learn more: Benefits Coordination

You'll need

Global Mobility

Moving to the U.S. means the right visa – and often big personal tax changes, since U.S. tax residents are taxed on worldwide income. Plan ahead.

Enough days in the U.S. can make you a U.S. tax resident, and business visitor visas limit what you can do here. Counting days now avoids surprises.

Why this applies to you

Someone on your team – or a founder – is relocating to the U.S.
Your team spends long stretches in the U.S.

Learn more: Global Mobility

You'll need

Back-Office

Your U.S. company needs a reliable address: IRS and state letters arrive by post with deadlines. We can handle your address, mail and check deposits.

A team member's address works – until they move or leave. A business address keeps official mail and checks in one place, scanned for your team.

Registered agents usually handle legal and state notices only – not IRS mail, bank checks or everyday mail. Check what yours covers.

Once you set up in the U.S., you'll need a reliable address for mail, checks and IRS notices. We can have one ready, with mail scanning.

Why this applies to you

You don't have a U.S. address yet.
Your U.S. mail goes to a team member's address.
You rely on your registered agent for U.S. mail.
