Cross-border money, compared properly.

Seven datasets on the financial decisions that come with operating across borders, where every figure carries the date it was checked and every score is calculated from those figures rather than typed in.

Non-Resident Company Formation

Forming a US company from outside the US

The 5 providers that will do it, on what the company costs to start and what it costs every year to keep. Sorted by computed score; top 3 shown.

Full comparison

Both totals are calculated rather than quoted, from the provider’s own published fees and the state’s own fee schedule. Each carries the oldest verification date of the figures behind it, because a derived number is only as current as its stalest input. See all 5 providers, every figure and every source.

Figures past their vertical’s recheck window are marked as due, not quietly left to look current.

What we cover

Each vertical is its own discipline, with its own rubric and its own re-verification cadence, rather than forced into one format.
