ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS TO BE BOOKED SEPARATELY

Express incorporation – when speed is of the essence
Sometimes every hour counts. With our express incorporation service, we offer you the opportunity to get your US company up and running much faster.
This option is an additional service and can only be booked in combination with a regular US company formation.
How does it work?
In many states, the Secretary of State offers expedited processing for an additional fee. This means:
-
Your documents will be given priority treatment.
- The waiting time is reduced to about half the normal duration.
- Ideal for founders who are pressed for time
Important note
Express incorporation is not a guaranteed 24-hour incorporation, but it does speed up the process to the minimum possible time frame. This makes it the perfect solution if you want to get your business up and running quickly.
What is a personal US tax identification number (ITIN)?
An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a nine-digit identification number issued by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to individuals who do not have a Social Security number (SSN) but are required to file US tax returns.
It is used to file tax returns and pay taxes on US income, such as rental income, investment gains, or proceeds from sales.
Format & Structure
The ITIN looks exactly like a US Social Security number: it begins with the digit "9" and follows the format 9XX-XX-XXXX.
Benefits of an ITIN (if you are eligible)
With a valid ITIN, you can, among other things:
-
Open US bank accounts
-
Use business accounts with service providers such as PayPal
-
Build up US credit profiles & creditworthiness
-
Process contracts and payments via US financial systems
Who can apply for an ITIN?
The ITIN is only issued if there is a US tax liability – e.g. due to US income or shareholdings.
Exceptions exist for certain cases, e.g.:
-
Individuals with US teaching assignments or tax-exempt grants
-
Owners of US real estate with financing
- Inclusion via corporate structures (e.g., profit deductions)
Application & Procedure
- The application is made using Form W-7 with the IRS.
- The application is usually submitted together with a US tax return—but there are exceptions.
- Certified documents or verified copies must be submitted as proof of identity.

Professional website – important for your US company
Today, anyone looking for information about a company will first look on the Internet—whether they are a customer, supplier, or government representative. Without a website or with a weak online presence, credibility is lacking.
This is even more critical for your US company: a reputable website signals legitimacy and dispels doubts that might otherwise arise among observers (e.g., is this a real company or just a letterbox?).
Our web service for your US company
When you establish your US company with us, you have the option of getting a website that skillfully represents your company:
-
Content creation: You provide us with information about your business (in German) → we convert it into professional English content.
-
Technical implementation by a partner agency: responsive, modern designs, optimized for all devices
-
Legal & technical standards: We ensure that your website contains the necessary elements (e.g., privacy policy, disclaimer, etc.) and complies with the US look.
-
Design & language: Your site looks like it was created by a US company—no translated texts with a German flavor.
-
Structure: 5–7 content pages + system pages (imprint, data protection, terms of use, etc.)
-
Domain selection: Together, we select a .com domain that sounds English and looks professional.
-
Hosting & Technology: WordPress as a content platform with modern themes, installed on US hosting, optional business email (e.g., Gmail for Business)

As someone who lived in the US for seven years between 2008 and 2017, I can assure you that it's not all that bad. That's not to say that the major problems facing the US should be trivialized.
Rather, it means that an entrepreneur who moves to the US with a good income can lead a very comfortable life in America.
But be clear about what to expect before you make concrete plans to move. Living in the US means a big change. The people, the culture, and everyday life are very different from what we are used to in Europe.
Your move in detail
On this page, we take a detailed look at aspects of everyday life in the USA and what it really means to live in America. Of course, we will also discuss the tax system in the USA at the very end. But life – and moving abroad – has so many other dimensions than just tax planning. And in this respect, this page will also focus primarily on the non-tax perspective.
