Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a U.S. address to register a corporation in the U.S.?
Yes, you will need a registered agent with a valid U.S. address before your corporation can be registered. U.S. fintech banking platforms and Stripe will also require a U.S. address. We provide registered agent services and a U.S. business address with all of our packages.
Do I need to be in the U.S. to incorporate?
No. You do not need US citizenship, US residency, or SSN. You can incorporate and run your U.S. corporation from any of the 150 countries we serve.
Why form a corporation instead of an LLC?
Unlike an LLC, a corporation provides a corporate structure designed to accommodate shareholders, issue equity, retain and reinvest profits, and support a growing business as its needs become more complex.
A corporation is generally better suited to businesses that plan on significant long-term growth or fundraising from U.S investors.

What are the compliance requirements for a U.S. corporation?
Compliance requirements vary by state, but generally include annual reports, state fees, tax returns, and IRS filings for foreign owners. We’ll remind you when these filings are due or file them for you if you prefer.

The Blackshore Advisory team was great to work with. They were consistently available throughout the engagement and provided excellent support with my U.S. company setup and business banking. They have strong knowledge of the required paperwork and procedures, and they also understand the tax and compliance implications, which made the process smooth and efficient. I would definitely hire them again.

Having a small business in South Africa, with the goal of scaling into the US, is what led us to Blackshore Advisory. Jamie is knowledgeable, thorough and extremely professional. We are only in the research and discovery phase, however knowing that Jamie and Blackshore Advisory understand what our requirements are, makes this process much less daunting and easily obtainable.
