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?

If you have your LLC you now need to open bank accounts (the first two are free so open both!). I'm going to share some links below to what I think are the best options. They are my affiliate links and I'll address them separately so you can understand the benefits. When applying, be honest but always emphasize more on how you will help your US clients. Relay financial - I have a great relationship with relayfi and they have told me that applicants that use this link have a greater likelihood of being approved. I use relay for my business and it has been great.the account is free to open. https://app.relayfi.com/register?referralcode=jimbaker Mercury bank - this is another great option. Again focus on how you are serving clients in the US. This link should give you bonuses once you are approved. The account is free to open. https://mercury.com/partner/jamesbakercpa Wise - this is not a bank but is a useful way to get paid and pay other people sign up with my link to get free transfers up to $500.. the account is free to open but there are small fees to open different currency accounts https://wise.com/invite/ahpc/jamesb2812 Stripe - if you are selling anything I would first try stripe.com for payment processing. I don't have a special link for them. Let me know if there are other accounts you may be interested in, how this goes for you and which you prefer!

Does anyone know how to pay Chinese suppliers with CNY on supplier websites like 1688.com? Apparently Alipay china and Alipay overseas are totally different, so we cannot pay CNY with foreign bank cards. I heard World-first can process that payment but the branch in US is called Zyla. Anyone has any experience on that?

Hey team, I just opened up a LLC in WY (so kinda new for all these) for my e-commerce shop but I have always heard that Wise is the best one out there for us non-US people - casue we can have that easy international exchange. However considering Wise is down now in US atm, what is the best option we can use to get a business account that I can both receive revenue and paid nay operational fees? Can revolut possibily be a good replacement of Wise for the meantime? to provide a similar service?

Hi, this is my first time on this platform and I would like to share my greetings with everyone. I’ve recently started my company as a Single member LLC in Florida using a 3rd party registered agent. I’ve obtained my EIN , formation letter. Opened a bank account with Mercury using my registered agent address. I’m stuck with the BOI report filing as my registered agent mentioned that it’s not possible to file the BOI unless I have a physical address in the US. “ PO Box , Virtual Office not accepted “ As I don’t live in the US I have no idea how to overcome this issue while I’m running out of time. I have already purchased the BOI filing with my agent but they can’t proceed because I didn’t provide an address. In this situation what are my options ? P.S: I have no one in the US to use their address , I know literally no one. but I do have a virtual mailing office also using a 3rd party agency. I’d appreciate any help I’m booked with James for a call on 29th Feb. But if I get my answer I would cancel it to give a chance for other people to talk early.
