We Set You Up in America. Then We Run Everything Behind It.

You do not need to move, and you do not need a US partner. We model the right structure for your existing group (usually a Delaware or operating-state C-Corporation or LLC held by your Indian parent), file the formation, appoint a registered agent, obtain the EIN, get an ITIN for you as a foreign owner where you have no SSN, and open US banking. Your Indian company keeps ownership and control throughout; Seal Global executes the filings, registrations and setup work underneath it.

Expansion is a sequence, not a single filing: decide the structure, form the entity, get the EIN and ITIN, open banking, register in the states where you will employ or hold inventory, then stand up tax, payroll, contracts, logistics, IT and marketing. Most companies coordinate five to nine vendors to do this. We run every one of those functions with one team, one contract and one point of contact, so nothing waits on a hand-off between suppliers.

Structure decision, name clearance and formation filing (one to three days), EIN issuance (one to three weeks when the responsible party is foreign), ITIN where required, banking (two to six weeks), then state payroll and sales-tax registrations and foreign qualification (two to four weeks). Realistically a foreign company is fully operating six to ten weeks after the decision. We run the whole sequence in parallel wherever the IRS and state timelines allow rather than one step at a time.

No. A foreign individual or a foreign company can own 100% of a US LLC or C-Corporation with no citizenship, residency or visa requirement. What you do need is a registered agent in the state of formation, an EIN, an ITIN if you are an individual owner without a Social Security Number, and a US address for filings and banking. Ownership and immigration are separate questions — owning the company does not by itself give you the right to work in the US, and we handle visa strategy separately where you need staff on the ground.

Yes, and that is the point of this engagement. Seal Global runs entity formation, banking, tax and accounting, legal and contracting, HR and payroll, marketing, logistics, IT and ongoing finance as a single coordinated programme with one named lead. Specialist licensed professionals — attorneys, CPAs, customs brokers — are engaged and managed by us where a licence is legally required, so you still deal with one team. You keep ownership and every strategic decision; we run the operational functions underneath.

Six to ten weeks for most companies to reach an operating entity with banking, tax registrations and the ability to hire and invoice. Formation is fast; the EIN and bank account are the two items that set the pace, especially for foreign-owned entities. Regulated categories such as food, cosmetics, medical devices or alcohol add registration time, and we build that into the plan up front rather than discovering it late.

An ITIN is an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number issued by the IRS to individuals who have a US tax filing obligation but are not eligible for a Social Security Number. As a foreign individual owner you typically need one to file US returns, to be reported on entity filings, and often to satisfy bank onboarding. We prepare the Form W-7 application with the supporting identity documentation and certification, and track it to issuance alongside your EIN.

Yes. We can provide a US business address for registration, filings, mail handling and banking, and step up from there to flex or coworking space, a leased office, warehouse space or a retail site as your operation grows. The address is a real line item in the build, not an afterthought, because state registrations, the IRS and US banks all need one that holds up to scrutiny.

There is no fixed price list, because the scope genuinely differs between a services company hiring three people and an importer with customs, warehousing and a retail rollout. Engagements are scoped and priced as one bundled programme covering the functions you need, which is materially less than assembling and managing separate legal, accounting, HR, logistics and IT vendors, and far below global-consultancy rates. We scope it in one conversation and give you a single figure with the functions it covers.
