FAQ
Questions everyone asks.
Honest answers about the process, the price, and what happens if something goes wrong. If something isn’t here, just ask us.
Getting started
Do I need to visit the US?+
No. Everything is done online. You don’t need to set foot in America. We handle all the paperwork, bank setup, and Stripe activation remotely.
Do I need a Social Security Number (SSN)?+
No. We file your tax ID application using Form SS-4, which doesn’t require an SSN. This is the legal process for non-residents. We’ve done it thousands of times.
How long does the whole process take?+
Most clients have a working LLC, bank account, and Stripe within 14 days. The LLC itself is usually approved in 1–3 days. The tax ID takes 8–12 days. Banking and Stripe usually happen within a day or two after that.
Which US state should I choose?+
Wyoming for most solo founders — lowest annual fees ($60), strong privacy, no state income tax. Delaware if you plan to raise VC money. New Mexico for the absolute lowest cost. We’ll recommend the right one during signup.
Banking & Stripe
Will I really get approved for a US bank account?+
Yes. We guarantee it. We use a real US business address (not a mailbox or virtual office) that meets the strict requirements banks introduced in 2024–2025. If the first bank doesn’t work, we have three backup options.
Will Stripe actually work?+
Yes. We prepare your entire Stripe application, make sure your website meets their requirements, and handle any review questions. Your Stripe account will be activated. If there’s any issue, we resolve it directly with Stripe.
Which banks do you support?+
Mercury, Relay, Novo, and Wise. Pick the one that fits.
Pricing
What's the total cost? Really?+
Starter plan: $349 per year. That includes your LLC, tax ID, registered agent, bank account, and Stripe. No extra fees for state filing. No hidden charges. The price you see is the price you pay.
Are there any add-ons?+
No. Every Regiwise plan is all-inclusive. We don’t upsell at checkout. We don’t add convenience fees. The price on the pricing page is what you pay, today and at renewal.
Can I cancel?+
Yes. No contracts. No cancellation fees. If you cancel, your LLC stays active until the end of your billing period. We’ll even help you transfer your registered agent if you want.
Taxes & compliance
What about taxes? Do I need to file?+
Yes. Foreign-owned US LLCs must file Form 5472 with the IRS every year, even if you had zero US income. The penalty for not filing is $25,000. Our Professional plan includes this filing. On the Starter plan, we’ll remind you and connect you with affordable filing options.
What is a BOI report?+
It’s a filing required under the Corporate Transparency Act that reports who owns your LLC. We file it for you within 48 hours of forming your company. Included in every plan.
