No US Address? Start a US Shopify Business From Abroad

So true residence is what it is.

And for U.S. banking and payment processing, you really got to know that they're going to ask for your personal residential address.

They want to know that you are physically residing there.

And so if you have like any family or any.

Friends in the US that are willing to allow you to like, you know use their address for banking purposes You're gonna you know, obviously be able to do this for free if you can do that But if you don't this is a paid service that you'll be able to utilize for that.

So basically the residential address will give you what you need to set up banking and personal stuff and they'll give me what you need, which is that lease agreement utility bill and Because without those, the bank is never going to believe that you actually live there.

Also, you'll be able to actually have mail pickup and processing from that location, which is really cool.

So the pricing though is obviously like a bit, and you're going to have to be able to have some money to pay for this.

They have a few different plans here.

They have locations in California, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, and Texas.

And so keep this in mind when it comes to locations.

Income tax is something you have to think about.

So South Dakota has no income tax and it's really easy to actually get a driver's license there as well.

So I would definitely recommend South Dakota out of all of these.

The other two that are no income tax are Texas and Florida.

But South Dakota, the other good thing about it is that it has no franchise tax as well.

So you can form your LLC there.

You can also form your LLC in Wyoming as well.

It's another option.

If you want all the business formation stuff, go to ecommerceparadise.com slash business formation.

It's got all the stuff you need to form your LLC.

But basically, when it comes to banking and payment processing, you're going to need a few add-ons here.

So what I would recommend... is at least going with the $500 a month billed monthly.

And then you have a lease agreement, which is an add-on.

And they have a security deposit, of course.
