Thinking Global? Here’s How to Launch Your U.S. Business Without Living There
Have you ever dreamed of launching a U.S.-based business but don’t live in America? Good news — you don’t need to be a U.S. resident to start a business in the United States. With the right guidance, you can form a company, get an EIN, open a U.S. bank account, and even build business credit from anywhere in the world.
At Markup Valley, we help hundreds of non-residents do just that — legally, quickly, and stress-free.
Why Start a U.S. Business as a Non-Resident?
- Global credibility: A U.S. LLC or corporation builds instant trust with customers, suppliers, and investors.
- Access to global platforms: Sell on Amazon, Shopify, or Stripe without restrictions.
- Favorable tax structures: Certain states offer zero income tax and simple compliance.
- Open a U.S. business bank account & receive international payments easily.
What You Need to Get Started
- Choose a State
Most non-residents prefer Delaware, Wyoming, or Texas for business-friendly laws and low fees.
- Form an LLC or Corporation
Decide what structure suits your goals. LLCs are flexible, while corporations offer more investor potential.
- Get an EIN (Employer Identification Number)
This is your business’s tax ID. It’s essential for opening a bank account, filing taxes, and hiring staff.
- Apply for an ITIN (If Needed)
An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is required if you’re earning income in the U.S. as an individual but don’t qualify for a Social Security Number.
- Open a U.S. Business Bank Account
With your EIN and LLC paperwork, we help you get a U.S. bank account remotely.
- Stay Compliant
Annual filings, taxes, bookkeeping — we help you stay legally compliant so your business runs smoothly.

I appreciate the focus on helping regional banks specifically. Often, the advice out there is geared towards larger institutions and doesn’t address the specific constraints and opportunities that regional banks face. I think exploring strategies like M&A to achieve operational scale and offset regulatory compliance costs is critical for these banks.
