PLAN FIRST. EXPAND SECOND.
For brands already selling, now expanding into the U.S.
In one call, you will know which of the three paths you are on.
Stay foreign. Go U.S. operational. Or wait.
You leave with the correct order of your next three moves across structure, tax, representative, and verification.
Already rejected on TikTok Shop, or stuck trying to sort out a U.S. representative? That is the most common call we take.
You already made some moves. Now you are not sure they were the right ones.
By now you have worked out that the U.S. Business Representative is more than a name and an ID. You are less sure which entity should be signing the tax form TikTok Shop requested. And nobody has told you what a U.S. company does to your tax position back home.
Maybe an application is already submitted. Maybe it already came back turned down.
Some of it will hold. One piece of it may be the part that fails quietly later, when a bank, a marketplace re-verification, or a buyer looks at the file.
One call tells you which. Before you build anything else on top of it.
The thirty-minute position check
Five areas decide whether this works. Usually one of them is blocking the other four.
On the call we ask across all five and get clear on where you sit in each. The recommendation comes after that, never before it.
Marketplace Verification
Get approved
Which platforms you want, and exactly where the process stalled if it already has.
U.S. Tax
Filed correctly
Who owns the U.S. entity, how it is classified, and what has actually been filed so far.
Banking & Payments
Get paid
Where the money lands today, in whose name, and whether that survives the next review.
Home Country Tax
Taxed once
How your own country treats a U.S. company you own, which decides whether the same profit gets taxed twice.
Ongoing Compliance
Stay approved
What is due, what is already late, and what the next re-verification will request.
You do not need answers to any of these.
Not knowing is the most common place people start. A recommendation built on one question is a guess, and we do not guess with your setup. Thirty minutes of questions first, then a recommendation built on answers instead of assumptions.
What you are probably thinking. Answered.
“My situation is complicated and I do not know where to start.”
That is the normal starting point, and sorting it out is the job.
We work out how your business is built today, where you want it to go, and the shortest correct path between the two. If we are not the right people, you hear that on the call.
“I have already done some of this myself.”
Common. Most founders arrive with parts already in place.
We review what exists, and often it stays exactly as it is. Where something has to change, you hear which piece and why before anyone touches anything.
“What is this going to cost me?”
If we can help, you hear the service, the timeframe, and the fee on this call. Not on a second call, and not a week later in a proposal.
Founders who were exactly where you are.

Thirty minutes. Then you know where you stand.
Every week of guessing is a week the wrong structure keeps compounding. Pick a time and the guessing ends here.

If you want a one-off answer to a single question, we are not the right fit, and we would rather tell you that here than on a call.
