Service 01

US Company Formation

Registering a US company gives you access to the world's largest economy, US payment processors, venture capital, and global credibility. We form your entity in the state that fits your business.

🏢

LLC: Limited Liability Company

Best for most MENA founders starting out. Pass-through taxation, personal liability protection, flexible management. Ideal for e-commerce, consulting, SaaS, freelancing, and service businesses.

📈

C-Corp: C-Corporation

The standard for companies raising VC. Allows multiple stock classes, required by most institutional investors. Ideal for high-growth startups and future IPO candidates.

⚖️

Delaware

The gold standard for incorporation. Court of Chancery provides expert business dispute resolution. Preferred by VCs. No state income tax on revenue earned outside Delaware.

🛡️

Wyoming

The most founder-friendly state for LLCs. No state income tax, no franchise tax, strong privacy protections. Member names not on public record. Lowest annual reporting costs in the nation.

What's Included in Formation

  • State filing and registration of your LLC or C-Corp
  • Articles of Organization (LLC) or Certificate of Incorporation (C-Corp)
  • Operating Agreement or Corporate Bylaws
  • Registered Agent for the first year
  • Employer Identification Number (EIN) application
  • Digital copies of all filed documents
  • US mailing address for your company
Service 02

EIN Registration

An EIN is a nine-digit number assigned by the IRS to your US business. Think of it as your company's national ID number in the United States.

Why You Need an EIN

  • Required to open any US business bank account
  • Required for federal and state tax filings
  • Needed for business licenses and permits
  • Necessary to hire employees or contractors
  • Required by most payment processors (Stripe, PayPal)

The Challenge for International Founders

US citizens get an EIN online instantly. International founders cannot, the IRS requires Form SS-4 by fax or phone, with response times of weeks to months. Minor errors mean rejection with no clear explanation.

We handle the entire process. Typical delivery: 2–4 weeks.

Service 03

ITIN Application

An ITIN is a personal tax ID issued by the IRS for individuals required to file US taxes who don't qualify for a Social Security Number.

When You Need an ITIN

  • You own a US single-member LLC and need to file a personal return
  • You earn income from US sources requiring tax reporting
  • Banks require a personal tax ID from the company owner
  • You need to claim tax treaty benefits

Our Process

We work with IRS-certified Certifying Acceptance Agents (CAAs) who verify your identity documents, so you never mail your original passport to the IRS. Our team prepares every form correctly, the first time.

Processing time: 7–11 weeks after submission.

Service 04: Our Specialty

US Bank Account Opening

No US residency required. No in-person visit required. Fully remote. A real US business bank account in your company's name.

The Problem International Founders Face

Most US banks won't open an account for non-residents who can't walk into a branch with two forms of US-issued ID. Even banks that accept international clients often reject MENA applications due to overly cautious compliance. This single barrier kills more international businesses before they start than any other.

Why Founders Gateway Is Different

We're one of the only companies that can open a real US business bank account for non-resident founders without an in-person visit. Not a virtual account. Not a fintech prepaid card. A legitimate US business bank account with full wire capabilities, check deposits, and integration with every major payment processor.

🏛️

Traditional US Banks

Full-service banks with wire transfers, check deposits, and lending. We coordinate the entire remote verification process on your behalf.

Digital Platforms

Mercury, Relay, and similar platforms designed for startups. Fully remote, integrated with accounting software. Most MENA founders start here.

💰

Payment Processors

Once your bank account is active, we connect Stripe, PayPal, and other gateways so you can start accepting customer payments.
