What is the overall process to form a company?

Check out our simple 4-step process on our website.

1. Form your company
   ​
   All we need for this step is:

   • Company Name

   • Personal Address (anywhere in the world!)

   • Email (so we can stay in touch!)

   No documents are required for this step. Later in the process, you may need your passport to set up your bank account.

   
   Timeline: 1 week (on average!)

2. Get your EIN
   ​
   Once your company is formed, we start working on your EIN application (Employer Identification Number).

   *Note: A U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) is not needed and we apply on your behalf!

   
   Timeline (with SSN): 2 days (on average!)

   Timeline (without SSN): 4 – 6 weeks (on average!)

   
   Dependencies: The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) processing speeds.

3. Apply for your US bank account
   ​
   Once you get your EIN (required for a bank account!), you’re ready to apply for a U.S. Bank Account through our custom partner portal. A passport is required for this step.

   Timeline: 1 week (on average!)
   
   

4. Payment Processor
   ​
   Once your bank account is set up, we’ll help you connect it to your payment processor so you can start accessing the payments sent to your account!
