Choosing the best U.S. entity is not paperwork. It is the foundational decision that determines whether marketplaces verify you smoothly, whether banks accept your company, whether you face surprise tax bills, and whether you waste months solving problems you could have avoided. We evaluate each seller across the following marketplace-specific factors: • Amazon; verification pathway, name shown on profile (W-9 or W-8 flow), and whether Amazon will request a utility bill. Multi-owner entities create heavier verification and tax work. • TikTok Shop; strict PBR rules and identity checks. Renting a PBR almost always creates permanent platform risk. TikTok requires clear U.S. identity alignment up front and a W-9. • Walmart; stricter onboarding for new brands and payment systems. We work with a partner Walmart agency that helps with account verification for non-residents (separate fee, if needed). • Shopify / Shopify Payments; underwriting looks for operational presence, consistent bank tenancy, and high risk product categories may trigger declines. • Banks and processors (Mercury, Airwallex, Stripe); KYC, beneficial owner alignment, and address documentation are often the gating factor, not the formation state itself. Practical takeaway: on paper a Wyoming or Nevada LLC taxed as a C corporation (or partnership without ECI) is a common starting point for non-resident sellers who want cleaner W-9 handling. But that is a starting point only. The final recommendation changes based on: who owns the company, where the owners live (treaty country or not), the product category, expected sales volume, whether you will use FBA, and whether you need a U.S. PBR or a utility bill.

Because “filed” ≠ “verified.” Generic filings create mismatches (name, address, W-9, UBO/PBR) that trigger denials later. We build backward from verification so your setup works in the real world, not just on paper.

Short answer: We don’t rent PBRs. We help you recruit and protect your own U.S. contact. Quick truth: most rejections aren’t bad luck; they’re sequence errors (UBO ≥25% direct/indirect, PBR permanence, and CMRA/KYC). We don’t rent IDs; we engineer approvals. Below are the three fastest ways we can help (these packages are included in our comprehensive and premium packages, but the strategy call will replace the strategy call in those two packages).

We don’t rent identities. We engineer approvals and protect the person you recruit as PBR; so you keep control and pass on the first try. Safety note: If a government step is required (e.g., 8822-B address update for CP-575 or 8832 election for W-9 fit), we pause your clock once with proof of filing. FAQS: Can we change the PBR later? → No (new shop). Who is a UBO? → Any person ≥25% direct or indirect. Why did the bank reject our address? → CMRA/mailboxes are flagged (in most cases); we use non-CMRA/lease paths. What happens after purchase? → 3 bullets per SKU (call → deliverable → support window)

Usually no. We prepare your file so remote options are viable; when a lease/utility bill or in-person visit is required, we’ll say so upfront and show the path.

We’re not a subscription dashboard. We’re a verification-first formation partner. Address quality, KYC prep, document alignment, and platform readiness are baked into the build; not bolted on after you’re rejected.

Most package delivery is advisor-led. CEO time is reserved for strategic calls (standalone or as an upgrade) and a call is included with the Premium and Comprehensive packages.

You get flagged. Period. Amazon, TikTok, Shopify, and U.S. banks now use AI-powered tools to detect fraud, CMRAs, mismatched filings, and incomplete W-9s. Most platforms don’t tell you why you were rejected; but we’ve reverse-engineered hundreds of failed cases. Our Verified Expansion Kickstart™ (a separate service) ensures your setup is structured to pass the first time.

What happens after payment? You'll receive a calendar link to schedule a call with our team or Scott Letourneau (for Premium and Comprehensive packages), and also a direct link to complete our U.S. Entity Formation Web Form, which provides our team with the details on your formation choice to file. Don't worry, you can save it, come back to it, and our team and CEO, Scott Letourneau, reviews every order to make sure it is in alignment with your Marketplace goals. For example, TiKTok Shop requires a W-9 and your business address on your account to match up on the SS4 application.

You move forward immediately. You get a calendar link to book your kickoff call. Premium and Comprehensive clients book directly with Scott Letourneau. You get a secure link to our U.S. Entity Formation Web Form. You can save progress and come back anytime. Once your form is in, NCP reviews every detail against your marketplace plan before anything is filed. Scott personally signs off on each order. We fix gaps before they turn into rejections. Targeting TikTok Shop? We align the critical items that trigger verification issues. Your W-9, SS-4, and business address must match the account. We make sure they do, so you avoid the back and forth.
