3 Things You Need to Know About Forming a U.S. Company (And How We Can Help You Do It)
For any cross-border business, the current tariff talk coming out of the United States is presenting new challenges. But, as a trusted specialist in borderless business, we have some ideas, and solutions, to help make operating globally less complex and more cost effective, even when U.S. tariffs are imposed. This time, we want to tell you…
Why form a U.S. entity?
Even before the tariffs became a consideration, there are plenty of good reasons for global businesses to form their own U.S. entity. One of the most attractive of these reasons is how much simpler it is for you to get paid in U.S. dollars, without the usual cross-border issues that can occur.
But there’s also the added trust and credibility you can establish with clients, platforms and financial institutions–not just in the U.S. but worldwide. In fact, some clients may even require you to have a U.S. entity, and so setting one up could be a way to unlock new opportunities.
How can you form a U.S. entity?
We’ve teamed up with doola*, an industry leading partner who can help you form your own U.S. business without the hassle and complexity that comes with starting an operation overseas.
doola handle everything from LLC or C-Corp formation, to EIN and tax ID application. They’ll provide you with a U.S. registered business address as well as expert support around compliance and filing. Best of all, with doola, you don’t even need to be a U.S. citizen to set up a U.S. company.
And while Payoneer don’t directly form companies – that’s why we work with a trusted partner like doola – there are still key benefits you can access with our platform when you set up a U.S. entity.
