How US Founder Stack handles affiliate links and commercial relationships.

Setup sequence Remote US company setup path

Separate each role before choosing providers or submitting applications.

  1. 01
    Confirm entity fit

    Choose LLC/C-Corp, state, ownership, and tax context before paying a provider.

    Output: filing path and company name.
  2. 02
    Assign registered agent

    Use the agent for state notices and service of process.

    Do not treat it as routine mail handling.
  3. 03
    Separate address fields

    Decide which field needs agent, mailing, business, or owner residential address.

    Output: address map before applications.
  4. 04
    Prepare EIN context

    Collect responsible-party details, SS-4 facts, and formation records.

    EIN helps setup; it is not approval.
  5. 05
    Apply for banking/payment tools

    Submit KYB, owner ID, website, business model, and address proof where required.

    Eligibility is provider-specific.
  6. 06
    Maintain compliance

    Track annual reports, bookkeeping, tax forms, and renewal dates.

    Formation is not the finish line.
Before you move on
  • Keep entity, address, EIN, banking, and compliance as separate workstreams.
  • Do not buy a package because it says "all-in-one" without checking what each step actually covers.
Formation is only one step; later providers still review documents, address details, and eligibility.

How US Founder Stack earns money

US Founder Stack may earn a commission when readers click links and buy from providers mentioned on this site. This can include formation services, registered agent services, virtual mailbox providers, virtual office providers, banking or fintech platforms, bookkeeping tools, tax services, ecommerce software, and related business products.

Affiliate relationships do not decide whether a provider is included or how provider limitations are explained. Our commercial pages should explain who a provider fits, who should compare alternatives, and which requirements a reader should verify before buying.

What this means for readers

  • We may receive compensation if you buy through certain links.
  • Provider pricing, eligibility, documentation, country support, address rules, and onboarding requirements can change.
  • We do not guarantee bank, payment processor, marketplace, EIN, or provider approval.
  • You should verify current requirements directly with the provider before making a purchase.

When a page includes affiliate links, it should still distinguish registered agent addresses, mailing addresses, virtual mailboxes, virtual offices, physical addresses, principal business addresses, and address verification requirements.
