For the purpose of remote account opening for the company, we act for the company in the role of financial director in the U.S. and open an account. To do this we make changes to the structure of the company with as little involvement as possible. We do not own any shares and have no claim to anything, but we are part of the company, which allows us to open accounts, trade accounts (Stripe, PayPal, PaymentCloud, etc.) and keep accounting.
Our partner in the U.S. is a professional financial director and can provide the process of introducing him to your company without the need to assign a share or claim the client’s company. A corresponding agreement is signed with the client.
Our partner is listed as a financial director with 0% ownership and can therefore open accounts. This is usually achieved by adding to the Operating Agreement that he is appointed as a financial director.
Withdrawal of the financial director is not recommended because the account would be at risk of being closed. Essentially there would be no signatory in the company.
It is possible to “transfer the account” directly to the client upon arrival in the US or to a trusted person. Someone has to be in the US.
