I really doubt James would be doing sneaky marketing like that - his own platform is extremely HUGE. He is real deal.and it is you? USACPA ? wonder why this nick otherwise?
Exactly.I really doubt James would be doing sneaky marketing like that - his own platform is extremely HUGE. He is real deal.
Yes, I can confirm he is fully legit. He is definitely not the cheapest and many of services he is offering you can get elsewhere with a better price/performance ratio, yet some of his services are quite unique (like VIP bank account remotely).Nah, it’s easy to see who is actually big vs faking it when you try to spend money with them - i am in that process with James and no way he has time (or stupidity) to do such things. I think @Forester can back me here that James is legit.
Hey guys it is me actually, James Baker, I just haven't had time to properly set up on this platform. I don't understand how it works fully with the anonymity and was just commenting on the thread.Exactly.

How do you verify if this would be accepted by Amazon or US banks? You also need to be able to receive mail there. The problem is once an address is found by someone, they tell 100 of your friends and the address get's burnt right away.You can easily find a business address in the USA with a quick Google search, including one that’s accepted by Mercury or other American banks. Additionally, I’d suggest trying out some of the recommendations shared here, as that would obviously be much faster.
if they make you sign this form they are likely a CMRA and the address won't be helpful. Trulease usually gives you two addresses, one which is CMRA like this and then their "real physical address". We don't do the 1583 form since we aren't only really selling the address service. It is included as part of the compliance package of services that we offer. It's like using your CPA's address for mail.I wonder if there is any guarantee that it will really work though... and how to get that Notarized USPS Form 1583 as a foreigner?
I'd probably refer you to my contact at Truist they probably won't even need the real address if you are going to keep your funds in their bank. There are a lot of institutions that would love to hold your funds.Thanks a lot for such an offer, however I need to be absolutely sure that it is a legitimate business address since likely compliance at Schwab won't give me a third chance...
Since I would have $1.2M stuck on IBKR if I can't have a (personal+llc) accounts at Schwab I want to be absolutely sure...
About the registered agent. I called him yesterday, but he said they can only offer some virtual mailbox with own suite etc... I don't think that will do.
However, I checked anytime mailbox with Smarty.com and they seem to be clean. I asked my Schwab advisor to ask compliance if this is okay for now to use until I have a real US business presence. Hope they are okay with it.
We can get by using the same address for like 30 companies without issues. We do use sub-suites but it hasn't been an issue yet.Well, a systemic advice: Ask your registering agent for help, to direct you to some reasonable real estate agent in the location. Or, in the worst case, use web. Search for a some really small office somewhere in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico (you have a NM LLC, IIRC) You will get it quite cheap, I think.
A one-time hack: I know a guy who is managing some foreign-owned LLCs including the office spaces. I can ask him whether he is willing to offer you a share space. Yet it is not in NM but in Nevada (yes, a NM LLC can have an office in NV, why not... but) and nothing can be guaranteed, there cannot be 10 LLCs in the one office... (formally yes, of course; but it does not look well and makes troubles).
