What this is really about

More than an LLC: a real foothold in the U.S.

On its own, an LLC does little for you, apart from the tax advantages that apply once you are no longer tax resident in your home country. The real leverage comes when you arrive in the U.S. financial system, with your own credit, real banking relationships and credit lines that grow with your business. That is exactly what we build with you, so you can operate as a full-fledged entrepreneur in the U.S. and build credit wherever in the world you live.

How it works

Your path into real U.S. banking, in 6 steps.

Credit building is complex. People who go it alone make expensive mistakes and often leave the bank appointment without an account because they were not properly prepared. We have walked this path with more than 300 clients, and we take every single step off your plate.

01
Foundation: LLC & ITIN

First the LLC, then the ITIN, your key to the U.S. financial system. As soon as your ITIN arrives, you are ready to open your first U.S. account.

Weeks 1-14
02
Fast track: Amex Global Transfer

Already have an Amex outside the U.S.? Then we move your membership to the U.S. with Amex Global Transfer: a U.S. Amex without U.S. credit history, your "Member since" status stays intact, and you qualify for Gold, Platinum and business cards much sooner. It even works without an ITIN.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Can I build a U.S. credit score if I live outside the U.S.?

+

Yes, with an ITIN instead of an SSN. Your first credit score appears about 90 days after you open your first accounts at the branch banks, and it grows with every on-time payment from there.

What is the Amex Global Transfer?

+

It moves your existing Amex membership from outside the U.S. to the U.S.: you get a U.S. Amex without any U.S. credit history, even without an ITIN. You can book it with us as a standalone service, including guidance, a U.S. address and mail forwarding. In a free eligibility check, we find out whether the transfer is right for you.

Do I have to travel to the U.S. to open U.S. accounts?

+

Fintech accounts like Mercury can be opened remotely. For the major banks (Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo), a well-prepared trip to Miami is required; we prepare everything and guide you through it.

How quickly can I get high credit lines?

+

Your first unsecured cards after about 3 months, American Express and premium cards in months 8-12. Credit lines grow with your score and your revenue, and for our clients they have reached six figures.
