Here&#x27;s the problem with Atlas: 
--While a US bank account is key; there are major KYC issues here.
--For $500 you get 
1. a corporation
2. a bank account
3. a Stripe merchant account.<p>Since you might pay $500 for a corporation alone; this is a good bundle.<p>--You get &quot;access&quot; to PwC (Price Waterhouse Coopers) and Orrick, a local law firm.<p>If you have the telephone number of these two entities you already have &quot;access.&quot; What &quot;access&quot; otherwise means isn&#x27;t clear. If PwC are going to provide bespoke accounting and start-up legal service at a rate discounted through Stripe, you&#x27;re not getting much of a bargain.<p>I&#x27;d be more confident if they laid out exactly what accounting and legal services Atlas is going to broker. After all, for start-ups none of this stuff is rocket science--it&#x27;s all forms and software. But other than tax preparation, do you also get PwC&#x27;s consulting services? And if so, how much? And will these services be discounted too? Who is the partner in charge? What are the lines of communication among start-up=&gt;Atlas=&gt;PwC? PwC will surely represent start-up&#x27;s competitors--will they agree to Chinese Wall their services?<p>Finally, I won&#x27;t address ethical issues here (attorneys referral service, conflicts of interest, etc.) because it seems that these haven&#x27;t gotten Atlas&#x27; attention. There will be push-back, which they may or may not be able to resist.
