Our expertise

Everything that protects your US presence.

We design your company as a complete system: confidentiality, protection, banking, and compliance align from the very first document.

Confidentiality

Anonymity & protection

An architecture designed to keep your name out of every public state registry, while maintaining a clear, documented chain of control.

Custom Operating Agreement

Governance, profit allocation, powers, and exit: every clause reflects your actual business model.

Guided bank account opening

A banking application tailored to Mercury, Relay, and other institutions that favor well-organized structures.

IRS compliance — Forms 5472 / 1120

Scheduling, document collection, and preparation: your federal obligations are anticipated, never discovered at the last minute.

The Truss Method

A three-step architecture.

From the initial assessment to the first dollars you receive, every step is documented and handled in French.

  1. Step 1: Assessment & Legal Structuring

    Tax residency, business activity, cash flows, and owners: we determine the right state, structure, and governance before anything is filed.

  2. Step 2: Formation & Express EIN

    Formation documents filed, Registered Agent appointed, Operating Agreement drafted, then your EIN (the company’s federal tax ID number) requested from the IRS: we prepare and track every form ourselves.

  3. Step 3: US Bank Account Opening

    A well-prepared banking application, presented to the institutions suited to your profile, so you can receive and make payments in dollars as soon as your account is active. This step is included in the Tailor-Made Architecture package.

State comparison

Three states, three levels of discretion.

The right state depends on the level of confidentiality you’re looking for, your business, and where you live. We recommend the one that serves your strategy — not the most popular one.

Anonymity & Asset Protection

Wyoming

The benchmark for combining owner confidentiality, asset protection, and well-controlled ongoing costs.

  • Owners not listed in the state registry
  • Ownership interests shielded from personal creditors
  • Simple, low-cost annual report

Ideal for

Maximum Discretion & No Annual State Report

New Mexico

No annual state report to file and built-in confidentiality: the leanest structure for operating discreetly.

  • No annual state report
  • Owners’ identities not published
  • Ongoing fees kept to a minimum

Reputation & Legal Strength

Delaware

The best-known jurisdiction in the world: proven business law and instant credibility with banks and partners.

  • Honestly, the guidance is clear from start to finish, they get back to you quickly, and they know what they’re talking about.

    Thomas B.Construction business owner · France

  • I hesitated before setting up my own structure in the US, because it all seemed complicated and time-consuming, but in the end it was fairly quick and I didn’t run into any problems.

    Mohamed A.E-commerce · France

  • Super clear and fast. The team always answered my questions quickly.

    Karine B.Esthetician · Belgium

  • We wanted to invoice our clients directly in the United States, the proper way. Structure, banking, compliance: everything was mapped out from the assessment onward, and we clearly understood the benefits it brought us.

Frequently asked questions

What to know before you get started.

Taxes, timelines, banking, obligations: answers to the questions French-speaking entrepreneurs ask us most often.

No. In the states we favor, owners’ identities are not published in public registries.

Yes. Your US company is formed and managed entirely remotely, thanks to our partners who handle the formalities for us, with no need to travel to the United States.

It all depends on how the company is set up, the nature of your income, and your country of residence. We review these points during the assessment, together with your accountant, before the company is formed.

Timelines depend on the chosen jurisdiction and on US government agencies. We give you a precise timeline right from the assessment, then follow every step until your accounts are activated. For your peace of mind, we have teams on the ground that allow us to significantly speed up processing times at every step.

The final decision always rests with the bank. Our commitment covers the application: a sound structure, compliant documents, and presentation to the institutions suited to your profile. If an application is declined, we redirect it to the most suitable institution.

A company with a single nonresident owner files Form 5472 with the IRS every year, attached to a pro forma Form 1120 (with multiple owners, other forms apply). Depending on the state, an annual report or tax may also be due. Missing a filing can be very costly. Preparation of the IRS filings is included in the Tailor-Made Architecture package; we also send you a filing calendar and reminders.
