US companies
Guidance on opening a US business bank account for your LLC or Corp as a non-resident — the practical options (Mercury, Relay, Wise Business USD) that don't require a US visit, and what actually gets you approved.
A UK Private Limited Company (Ltd) is a separate legal entity registered at Companies House. Non-resident founders can form one remotely through structured identity verification support. Eteform handles the filing and checks in 24–48 working hours. Six service packages start from $299; the $135 Companies House fee is shown separately.
After incorporation you receive a CRN and digital documents. Many founders then open Wise Business or Revolut Business, set a London registered office if needed, and prepare for Stripe, Shopify or Amazon using matching company details. Annual duties typically include the Confirmation Statement (CS01), accounts, and Corporation Tax registration with HMRC when trading starts. Dormant companies still have lighter filing duties — they are not a full exemption from Companies House.
UK company formation does not grant UK residency or a visa. Eteform guarantees legal, complete execution of every request, and bank or payment-gateway approval when all requirements are fully met — with a correctly filed, transparent entity and Arabic support from order to certificate. Compare packages, read the formation guide, or start your order with clear USD pricing.

We prepare a complete, compliant application file for these platforms. When all requirements are fully met, we guarantee approval and process success — including follow-up on any extra documentation requests.
Apply once your EIN is issued, not before — most of these platforms require it as part of the application, and applying without one usually just means resubmitting later.
No — both are designed for fully remote applications, which is why they're the common choice for non-resident LLC owners.
Not exactly — Wise provides USD account details you can receive payments to and pay from, but it isn't a chartered US bank account in the traditional sense. Many founders use it alongside or instead of Mercury/Relay depending on their needs.
Yes — banking guidance is included as part of forming your US LLC with us, the same way UK bank referral guidance is included with UK formation.
