My name is Megan. I was born in the USA and have lived in multiple states, but mostly Oregon. I have also spent around 13 years of my life outside the US (not all at once). I have traveled in five continents and 50+ countries, since 1991. I currently live in the Balkans. In the past I have run several businesses in web development, marketing, eCommerce, skin care product manufacture, etc. I have also been involved in a lot of humanitarian and nonprofit work throughout my life. I currently travel regularly, mostly outside the US. But sometimes I go to the US for business or charity. I am only at my home in the Balkans when I don't need to be somewhere else. I run a US Public Charity and several US LLCs. I am currently in the field of literacy and education. In addition to running my businesses, charity, etc., I do a lot of writing and content creation as my husband and I found we had to create our own curriculum for the literacy projects we are running. I am joining this community to engage in discussions and sharing on the subject of global business strategies and the related financial, legal, and logistics aspects thereof. I look forward to getting to know you all better.

I have clients in every niche who are experts. I am exploring the idea of collaborating with them to create exclusive content for this group. Let me know here what would be most valuable for you right now. Also look at other responses and give a like if you are interested in that too - as we'll be starting with the most popular topics

I got the attached notice on my Mercury Dashboard asking me for a US legal address. I have no US presence and Mercury serves business owners with no US presence but who do have US operations. What do they mean with "US legal address"? How is this different from a "US physical address"? Is it the same? This is starting to get confusing...

Hey team, I am just wondering if anyone has the experience to use your foreign card for any kind of business? Like to pay all the cost for your US company and also earn revenue out of it? My plan for now is to start first anyways, considering I still have until April to deal with tax? and at some point hire professionals, like James to open a business account and take care of my tax entirely. Any advise?
