U.S. Company Formation Coordination

Build a company structure that reflects treaty ownership, genuine control, operating reality and a traceable investment record.

Disciplined preparation

Forming an LLC is only one administrative step—not an E-2 strategy.

The state, entity type, ownership records, governance, tax treatment, banking, licenses and investor authority must work together. Formation decisions should be coordinated with qualified legal and tax professionals before money begins moving.

The service connects commercial decisions, evidence development and professional responsibilities without confusing strategic coordination with legal, tax, accounting or brokerage work.

Important: No service can guarantee E-2 eligibility, visa issuance, admission or business success. Legal and regulated professional work remains separate.

Service framework

Four connected areas of work

Each area must support the same investor, business, transaction and evidence story.

01

Entity and state

Planning focus

Compare the operating location, registration state, foreign qualification and business needs with counsel and a tax adviser.

02

Ownership records

Planning focus

Document treaty-national ownership, membership or share interests, capital contributions and governance authority.

03

Banking and funds

Planning focus

Create a clean path from lawful source accounts to the company, escrow and documented business expenditures.

04

Operational setup

Planning focus

Coordinate EIN, bank account, permits, insurance, contracts, payroll and recordkeeping priorities.

Confidential preliminary inquiry

Request a focused service review.

Tell us where you are in the E-2 planning process. Do not send passports, bank statements, tax returns or confidential transaction documents through this form.

Submitting this request does not create an attorney-client, brokerage, accounting or fiduciary relationship and does not guarantee E-2 eligibility or approval.

Frequently asked questions

U.S. Company Formation FAQ

General information only. Every investor, business and filing route requires individualized professional review.

Should I form an LLC or corporation?+

The answer depends on legal, tax, ownership and operating facts. Qualified counsel and a tax adviser should make the entity-specific recommendation.

Can I form the company before choosing a business?+

Sometimes, but premature formation can create ownership, state-registration or banking complications. The sequence should be planned.

Does an EIN prove E-2 eligibility?+

No. An EIN is an administrative identifier and does not establish the investment, enterprise or investor requirements.

Can you open the U.S. bank account?+

We can organize the preparation steps, but account approval belongs to the financial institution.
