State Filing Fees
State filing fees vary based upon the state and type of entity. A Wyoming LLC is $100, and a Nevada LLC is $425.
Mail Scanning and Forwarding
Our U.S. virtual address service provides your U.S. legal address and, as needed, scanning and mail forwarding options. You will likely have only a few key pieces of mail throughout your first year, yet, they are all important, which may include verification notices from Amazon or Walmart, EIN confirmation letters from the IRS, Insurance, banking, or trademark notifications. Our scanning and mail forwarding is the best industry because of our knowledgeable team and support.
U.S. Bank Account (if required)
You may be working with Payoneer, a free account, and if you need a separate, fully functioning U.S. bank account to set up Stripe or Shopify Payments, we can help. [Update] Our new banking partner does not require the IRS letter upfront; the EIN can be pending.
Physical Record Book
Including operating agreement/bylaws, minutes, resolutions, instructions, and shipping outside the U.S. The packages above all include an online digital version of the record book.
A physical record book is not required but an option if you prefer a physical book.
Resale/Exemption Certificate
A resale certificate is a document proving that you are a legitimate retailer or purchaser and are buying products to resell or use as parts of products you plan to resell.
To use a resale certificate, you generally need to be registered to collect sales tax in at least one U.S. state. Our team will register your new company in a state and obtain your resales/exemption certificate.
Dun & Bradstreet Number
The D-U-N-S Number is used to establish your company’s D&B® file. It is requested but not required to sell on Walmart.
A Second EIN (if required)
If you form an LLC and the member (owner) will be your foreign entity, we will need to apply for an EIN for the foreign entity.
This is required to file the U.S. return in connection with the tax treaty with your country. Most common is the 1120F, along with form 8833.
If this is your situation, the SS4 application for the U.S. entity will require your signature as the responsible party. The IRS no longer allows you to use your foreign entity EIN to apply for the U.S. EIN. That changed in 2020.
We can move forward and apply via fax for the EIN on your U.S. LLC. The EIN for your foreign entity we call over the phone (when we get through to the IRS).
Trade Name/DBA
If you are using or planning to use a trade name separately from your new entity name, we will file a DBA (doing business as) in the state of formation.
Amazon Brand Registry Example:
When you set up your Amazon account, you will have your brand name and sold-by name. Your seller name is easy to change on your Amazon account.
The brand name leads to the brand store page and is linked to registered and trademarked brands. The brand name does not match your entity name.
Nationwide Trademark Search & Filing
A trademark is a protected word, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies your business and distinguishes it from other businesses. This is important for Amazon’s brand registry and overall brand protection. It is not required but recommended.
Local Utility Service & Bill
If you don’t update your Amazon Seller Central account correctly with your new details, it may trigger a notice to provide more verification. The critical item is an accepted utility bill or business license matching your Amazon account’s company and address.
We can provide this service for Nevada entities only with our address service for our clients.
This service is optional when the correct steps are followed with our Amazon checklist. Our clients that follow our steps EXACTLY do NOT need an extra utility bill (which may cost more than the entity formation).
Please take a look at our utility bill example below. It will be in your company name.

ITIN
An ITIN will come into play if a 1040NR U.S. tax return is required by filing form W-7, along with 8833. In this situation, the fee is part of filing your U.S. personal tax returns.
If you need an ITIN after your U.S. entity formation, the most common is to provide you with more options with your U.S. formation when you open a Stripe account or Paypal account.
If you are forming an LLC taxed as a corporation (creating a U.S. taxpayer), obtaining an ITIN up front is not going to happen, but we have a work around approved by our tax team for our clients.
Certificate of Insurance (COI)
If you received your 30-day notice from Amazon, our process is to form your LLC correctly and refer you to our recommended U.S. insurance provider.
Our services include the steps to change and not to change on Amazon to get your COI approved by Amazon.
We have a 100% success rate when you follow our steps.

Once you submit your web form with all your entity details, our team will review it and send you a final confirmation email to reply to before we file your new U.S. entity.
Our team will prepare the articles and SS4, and our CEO will review them before filing. Once the articles are filed, you will also have the SS4 form to sign so we may fax it to the IRS.
The rest of the compliance process and record book details will be included in your secure folder, along with a link to our $6K bonuses to help you launch confidently.

Our team and CEO will review all formations before being filed to ensure everything lines up to match your U.S. e-commerce goals.
U.S. Entity Web Form Review and Approval
This process will be completed within 24 hours during business days, with either question for clarification for your reply too and a final approval email for verification requiring your reply.*
Articles Filed to the State
Time varies upon the state chosen, and Nevada and Wyoming (which are most popular) are filed within 24 online.
EIN Service
There are two factors, we email the SS4 to complete and email back to our team, you will receive it the same day of the filing, and once you return it, we will fax it the same day to the IRS.
The IRS time frame is about 30 business days. The EIN confirmation letter, CP 575, is mailed to our address within about three weeks after the EIN is obtained.
[Update] Our new banking partner does not require the IRS letter upfront; the EIN can be pending.
Record Book Documents
You will have all your documents, including your operating agreement, membership certificates, minutes and resolutions, stock ledger statement, and instructions in the cloud within 48 hours of filing your articles.
U.S. Banking
You may already have a relationship with an online payment platform service and may update a new account with them directly. If you need a U.S. bank account to establish a U.S. stripe account or for an ACH to pay sales tax (Shopify sellers), we can help you through that process.
[Update] Our new banking partner does not require the IRS letter upfront; the EIN can be pending.
