In the U.S., articles of incorporation are filed with the Office of the Secretary of State where the business chooses to incorporate.

A stock certificate is a document that proves that you own stock in a company. In the digital age, you can prove stock ownership without holding a physical certificate. However, if an investor wants a stock certificate, he can request that his brokerage house issue a certificate, or they can contact the company that issued the stocks.

Companies do not have to issue these certificates automatically but are legally required to issue a certificate when requested. While stock certificates are mostly symbolic, they can be valuable to investors that want physical proof that they own stock.

We do not automatically print the stock certificate for you. But in the event that your shareholder(s) request physical stock certificates, we can help your company issue them. This service is free of charge.

In this electronic age, you don’t really need physical stock certificate as all ownership are registered in company records.

As part of our compliance measure, we keep the legal address and operating address separate for you. We provide both so you are fully covered.

As per our policy, please note that legal address cannot be used for business operating address. It means you cannot advertise your company using your legal address or business operation purpose.

While you may use your own business address for registered agent address, it is advisable that you do not as by US laws you are required to have an office that is readily available to receive legal documents from the government. This mean Monday to Friday 9-5 physical operating office available.

The other reason why you don’t want to use your business address this way is that all registered address information is public. It means it will be accessible to any party including marketing or unwanted parties. To ensure your privacy, we recommend you do not use your business address as your legal address even if you decide to use a different business address than the one we provide

By US laws and regulation all companies are required to have a legal address for legal document receiving and handling.

We submit the application the same day or the next day right after your company is formed. Once application is submitted, it usually takes up to 20 working days for the IRS to process depending on the amount of materials that are readily available. In most cases, we are known to get it in as little as 5 days.

We have it included so that you can get started right away with your business operations.

First you need it to file corporate tax every year. To maintain the standing of your company, you need to file tax returns regardless if your company makes a profit.
Most US financial and business institutions will require EIN for application of services. EIN is required for Amazon US, eBay US, PayPal US, and all banking and payment account applications.

EIN stands for Employer Identification Number. It’s the business equivalence of SSN or ITIN for individual tax payers

Yes. Your US C Corp will become the subsidiary of your company from your home country. Just like any offshore company setup in other countries.

We provide LLC for real estate investors. This is a special and unique scenario as real estate investment inevitably generates income or capital gain (or loss). Owner of LLCs will be eligible for application for ITIN.

No other company structure that is intended for conducting business operations can be legally formed for non-US residents without going through a costly and lengthy process. While it is still possible, we do not recommend it.

Only companies that have completed the incorporation process can issue public stock. If you intend to devise some sort of employee equity plan or want to seek future funding, you will need a C Corp. Other company entities are not designed for scaling or massive growth.

C Corp is the ultimate choice for overseas entrepreneurs with its flexible equity structure and limited liabilities legal structure. For entrepreneurs that are looking for massive growth or asset relocation, C Corp provides the most flexible structure to achieve endeavors such as equity planning, asset holding, profit retention, and marketing & sales activities.

The short answer is: it could get quite complicated. Applying for a federal employee identification number (FEIN) requires that one of the owners has a taxpayer identification number, which is restricted to citizens of the US and foreign-born persons legally entitled to work here. So, all in all, foreign persons may need to partner with a US citizen to effectively operate an LLC in the US. So it defeats the purpose of operating a US company when you cannot feasibly or easily acquire EIN, which in turn is required for almost all business activities in the United States. On the other hand, C Corp’s are designed for growth companies or foreign entrepreneurs.

At FastCorpUSA we specialize only on bringing overseas non-US entrepreneurs to set up shops and bases in the United States. S Corp and LLC are not viable options for overseas entrepreneurs or investors and these company entities have a special tax pass-through device that is solely available to US residents.

In addition, LLC is mostly for real estate investment holding or small business owners. In the case of overseas entrepreneurs or investors, LLC may be a better investment vehicle for real estate interments due to tax planning reason. We do provide LLC application for such purpose. However, this option is only available for investors who intend to solely participate in real estate investment. Please contact us if you have more questions. (Please also check out ITIN, an alternative for EIN for investors.)

Business ID is the number ID that is assigned by the State in which your company is first incorporated. It is the first identify you acquire in the company setup process.

A C Corporation legally separates owners’ or shareholders’ assets and income from that of the corporation. C corporations limit the liability of investors and firm owners since the most that they can lose in the business’s failure is the amount they have invested in it. C corporations are mandated to hold annual meetings and have a board of directors that is voted on by shareholders.

When you are the shareholder or owner of a corporation (Inc.) or limited liability company (LLC.), there’s no personal liability for individual shareholders in case of company’s default or lawsuit. These company entities shield you from personal liabilities. Contrary to partnership or sole proprietorship, liabilities can be traced all the way to owner at the personal level. It is important to set up your company the right way and have yourself shielded from possible demise stemmed from company failures.
