Our Approach

 

LegalKap does not simply incorporate entities. We evaluate jurisdiction suitability, coordinate formation with tax and compliance setup, and ensure each structure is defensible from the outset. Every engagement begins with understanding the client's broader objectives — not just the immediate incorporation need.

FOR INTERNATIONAL FOUNDERS

When should a Latin American founder incorporate in the U.S.?

A Latin American founder may consider U.S. incorporation when raising capital, receiving international payments, signing U.S. customers, issuing equity or preparing a cross-border structure. The right jurisdiction depends on tax residence, banking, investors and substance requirements. LegalKap reviews these factors before recommending Delaware, Florida or another structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which jurisdiction is right for my company?

It depends on your operations, investors, tax residence, banking needs and substance requirements. LegalKap reviews these factors before recommending Delaware, Florida or another jurisdiction.

Can a non-U.S. resident form a U.S. company?

Yes. Non-U.S. residents can generally form U.S. companies, subject to identity verification, tax, banking and compliance requirements. The right structure depends on the founder’s residence, business model and intended use.

Does LegalKap help with bank accounts?

LegalKap coordinates banking introductions and preparation of required documents, subject to each bank’s onboarding policies. Account approval always remains the bank’s decision.

What happens after incorporation?

After formation, companies may need EIN/tax registrations, registered agent coordination, annual compliance, accounting, filings and periodic structure reviews depending on the jurisdiction and business model. Timelines vary by jurisdiction and case.
