Here’s the deal: When it comes to our address or utility bill services, there’s usually more to it than meets the eye. In some cases, what you already have might do the trick, or maybe you need to start with a new bank account, consult an Amazon account appeals expert, or realize that qualifying for Shopify Payments isn’t your best move after all.

We’ve seen it before—clients order our services thinking they come with coaching or consulting on how to fix their Amazon account, only to find out their account still wasn’t verified (often due to unrelated issues) or their U.S. LLC needed amendments. That’s why we kick things off with a strategy call.

Our goal isn’t just to sell you a service and move on.

We’re here to build a long-term relationship, really understand your business, and make sure you’re set up for success.

Plus, we need to vet you for our partners because, like Amazon, Shopify, and Stripe, we don’t want to work with bad actors who are looking to cut corners.

We know other companies will sell you services all day long, whether they actually get you closer to your goal or not. That’s not how we roll.

We’re about doing things right the first time, so you don’t have to come back and fix costly mistakes later.

Whether you’ve got one question or a dozen, Scott’s got you for up to 60 minutes. It’s a flat fee—no proration, no rush. We dig deep, unpack what’s involved, and make sure you leave with the clarity you need.

Yes, that is recommended to keep you and our call focused. Scott will review your outline of questions as part of your call time—right at the start, during the first 5 minutes. He’ll take this time to fully understand your situation, asking a few key questions to make sure he’s got the complete picture.

This step is crucial because sometimes you might be heading down the wrong path, and Scott’s here to help steer you in the right direction.

By understanding where you’re coming from and where you’re headed, Scott ensures you get the best recommendations and resources to achieve your goals.

During the call, Scott will share his screen to walk you through the relevant sections of any PDFs or charts that apply to your situation. He has over 100 different PDFs, charts, or tools, which anyone may be helpful with to get you clarity during the call.

Absolutely! After your session, you’ll receive the full Zoom recording and a transcript. Plus, in the last 5 minutes, Scott will hit you with a clear summary of your action steps so you know exactly what to do next.

You bet! Scott will break down your options and give you his top recommendation based on your specific situation. If you want a deep dive with detailed comparisons, we can extend the support with more consulting time.

Scott will give you a clear overview of your U.S. tax situation and the marketplaces you intend to sell on, which will impact how you approach the tax interview and position yourself to qualify for banking, merchant accounts, marketplaces, and more. While the initial call will put you on the right track, a comprehensive tax plan may require more time. It’s important that your home country tax professional is on the same page to understand how this impacts your situation back home. Scott will guide you on the key questions to ask, ensuring your overall plan is cohesive and beneficial.

Scott’s deep knowledge in these areas is why his company is highly sought after for U.S. entity formation. While NCP doesn’t handle U.S. tax returns, we’re part of a tax and legal mastermind group with over 300 experts, including top U.S. CPAs and tax attorneys, and we can recommend the right professional based on your specific needs.

Scott’s got the inside scoop on the best banking options to fit your needs. On your Zoom call, he’ll pull up his exclusive U.S. banking spreadsheet and walk you through which banks are possible for you to set up with, along with all the requirements—whether it’s full-service giants like Citibank, Chase, Wells Fargo, or others that might require a bit more legwork and travel.

If you’re after a detailed step-by-step guide or a full review, no worries—additional consulting can take care of that.

Scott will walk you through the key requirements and costs to get set up with Shopify Payments. Shopify Payments can be tricky, with several options that come with additional fees.

Keep in mind, even Shopify says that meeting all the requirements doesn’t guarantee you’ll qualify—every client’s situation is different.

Whether you’ve already sold over $1M or you’re just starting out, the internal process with Shopify is out of our control. Stripe might be an alternative, but it has similarly stringent requirements. And remember, getting an account open is one thing—keeping it open is another.

If you’re looking for ongoing guidance or a detailed plan, joining our Corporate Coaching program or booking more time could be your next step.

Yes (with caution, here’s why). Having a U.S. credit card for your U.S. LLC can be incredibly beneficial, especially if you’re working with U.S. retailers and vendors or running ads on platforms like Amazon, Google, Instagram, or Facebook. A U.S. credit card—or even better, an American Express card with cash back or rewards—can make transactions smoother and more efficient.

However, obtaining a U.S. credit card as a non-U.S. resident isn’t simple or fast, but it’s definitely achievable over time. Most credit cards require an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) and a solid credit history in the U.S., which takes time to build. We’ve helped many clients in similar situations successfully navigate this process.

Yes, Scott Letourneau can absolutely help if you’re a U.S. resident looking for the best entity structure and U.S. tax strategies to put more money in your pocket and accelerate your retirement plan.
