## What Firmaway does

Firmaway enables non-resident foreigners to establish a legal presence in the United States to operate global businesses, receive international payments in USD, and access platforms such as Stripe, PayPal and Shopify. The entire process is remote.

## Core services

- LLC formation: for freelancers, consultants, traders, agencies, e-commerce and service businesses. States: Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, Florida and Nevada. Typical formation time: 15–20 business days. The bank account is processed after formation; its timing depends on the bank and on regular vs. express opening.
- C-Corp formation: for tech startups seeking venture capital investment and stock issuance.
- U.S. business bank accounts: opened 100% online with partner digital banks (Mercury, Relay, Wise Business). Approval is decided by the bank; if rejected, Firmaway refunds the price difference between the bank package and the LLC-only package.
- Payment platform access: Stripe, PayPal Business, Shopify Payments, Square and Wise.
- Tax compliance and maintenance: EIN, Registered Agent, Annual Reports and U.S. federal filings (Form 5472, Form 1065, Form 1120) for non-resident-owned entities.
