register business in US from Canada... legally and professional... advice wanted! - GoFuckYourself.com

Daymare · 04-16-2003, 09:30 PM

I am looking for a legal way, not necessarily the cheapest, to register and/or incorporate a business in the US to be able to use a third party processor. I'm not looking to be shady, but completely in the open and upfront.

Any and all tips are welcomed. I've read that the 2 states I should look to registering are Delaware and Nevada. If anyone, or has anyone been in my situation and successfully setup a biz in the US without any hassle? Who would you recommend to do all the paperwork, etc.

I'm looking for someone in Canada to help me set it up who has done these for an adult business before. If you're from Canada and have a us entity setup and are getting paid from CCbill, Ibill, etc, who/what did you use to get setup?

Daymare,

I am in Canada, and went with adultinternetlaw.com. I think you will find that if you try to go through a Canadian lawyer or group to help you with this, they will not have the expertise and will simply have an American lawyer do all the work - possibly someone who is not familiar with the exact requirements of Visa and the IPSPs.

What you want is someone who is familiar with helping Canadian webmasters/companies set up a legal entity in the US that meets Visa's requirements as well as all US laws - that's adultinternetlaw.com. There's a few other US firms that have the same expertise, but that is the one I am familiar with. I'm quite happy with what they have done for me in this regard. It cost me about 3k US in the end.

I recommend you go with a law firm rather than an incorporation service like corporate.com (unless money is an issue, but you implied it is not, and want it done right). adultinternetlaw.com has many Canadian clients like us.

I hope that helps.

So for about $4500 canadian, I could meet the requirements. hmm, I thought it would be cheaper, but if that's what it costs, I guess I don't really have a choice.

Thanks for your help

I have done that, and I will post this once only.
Questions? ask them.

You can setup up on line for a cost of about $ 450.00, everything needed included. Then there are some options for mail forwarding, phone answering, etc...

try lawdoc.com
cost about $US1100 for a Nevada LLC
alternatively set you one up in Kansas cheaper

includes doc prep, tax id applic, filing fee, list of officers report, and other prob you will come across not being resident.

up to speed with all IPSP requirements

Daymare · 04-17-2003, 09:33 AM

ok, now I'm confused again. I see prices and have called a couple of people from $450 to $3000. And the only one that had a lawyer with me through the whole thing was $3000 so I think I'll probably go with this one because it's safer.
