Launched the process incorporate company in USA

Incorporate Parsers with the Stripe Atlas. We chose the Stripe Atlas because we can immediately get a bank account and do not need to go directly to the USA. We also want to switch to the Stripe payment platform. Also thought of Clerky, Legalzoom and Delawareinc. We chose Delaware C Corp for simplicity, clarity in service and raising investments.

    There are, so far, hidden costs?
    I mean a part from Stripe Atlas website documentation, costs that you have to consider ?
    How do you deal with local taxes ?

    1. 3

      So far we have paid only $ 500 for the opening. There are no hidden payments, then there are payments for Corporate tax preparation and Delaware tax filing

    Congrats! We also used Stripe Atlas for our new domain registrar company Zuffix and found it to be really straightforward, much more so than previous incorporation services I've used in the past. The Stripe Atlas team is very helpful and quick to respond to any questions or needs.

      Thank! I agree, communication with the support team is excellent.

    Congratulations. That is a big an important step - and it will be a really cool adventure! It also will make it very easy to eventually sell that company to what I would assume are very likely going to be American acquirers, should that ever happen.

    Congrats! Are you doing everything from outside the U.S.? Did you also need to do something with local authorities?

    1. 3

      Most of the time you have to pay taxes where you are "really" doing the job.
      Means, in country where you physically do the things for US company.

      1. 1

        Yes, thanks, we have a company in our country and we pay taxes. Now we plan to move the business to the United States. To do this, open a company.
