Looking for USA nominee director / Stripe representative

[davodsonlib]

Hello,

I hope everyone is doing well.

I run a SaaS website, and payments are processed through Stripe using my U.S based (Wyoming) LLC.

I recently launched the platform.

About a week ago, I received a notification from Stripe requesting that I add a U.S based account representative, as my company is registered in the United States.

Does anyone have an IDEA or RECOMMENDATION on where I can get a Stripe account representative or nominee director based in the USA? Has to be legit because I don't want to ruin my company since stripe verifies the ID and address of the representative.

Thanks in advance.

Is the company registered w/ an EIN in the US?

A US rep isn't required for foreign owned LLCs.

I think they really changed it recently. No wonder from how much scam LLCs there were recently. Literally anybody from Europe opened such LLCs for tax evasion and for shady businesses.

You can apply for a US visa and then handle it yourself or you travel there and get a guy on the ground.

I have an EIN.

Stripe says I need an account representative in US.

I have an EIN.

I would double check you have it setup as a LLC that is treated as a corp/partnership, and not a sole prop.

No need to check. I think @disagree had the same issue few hours ago and he knows how to set up accounts.

I already offered him to buy a cheap church for $1000 and then we can apply for E-4 visas for all the priests around the planet. Until the church falls apart.

To set it up properly:


Tell stripe you've elected to become an entity separate from its owner.


Single Member LLCs are by default Sole Prop Companies in stripe, so you must change it.

I see.

I'll inform them.

Thank you very much.

Hello, sorry I had to quote multiple times.

I just checked and I am already on a Single-member LLC, do you mean I should tell stripe to change from that to sole proprietor?

Though, I can actually change it myself.

already on a Single-member LLC

a single-member LLC that has elected to be treated as a corporation for tax purposes is a "private corporation", no longer a single mmbr llc.


Changing it there should be fine
