Thanks for bringing this up.  I&#x27;ve had the same experience.<p>Doing a virtual business based nowhere, where even my own country of residence is constantly changing, it made sense to explore the lean efficient jurisdictions for incorporating.<p>For what it&#x27;s worth, I&#x27;ve tried a bunch of incorporators, but found the best success with Trident Trust.  Great bang per buck:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tridenttrust.com&#x2F;corporate_overview.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tridenttrust.com&#x2F;corporate_overview.html</a><p>+<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tridenttrust.com&#x2F;PDFs&#x2F;Companies-IND.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tridenttrust.com&#x2F;PDFs&#x2F;Companies-IND.pdf</a><p>But like &quot;hackerboos&quot; said here, the hard part can be finding a bank willing to open a business bank account for your foreign company.<p>So contact your bank first and ask.  Especially if you have an existing relationship there.<p>At Wells Fargo, for example, I was able to just walk in, talk to my usual dude who knows me by name, and open an account for my foreign corporation in 15 minutes.  He didn&#x27;t care (or even seem to notice) that it wasn&#x27;t a U.S. corporation.  All they cared about is that I had my U.S. Tax ID#.  (IRS form SS-4.)<p>But even with international-friendly banks in Hong Kong and Singapore, even ones where I had a deep relationship, I&#x27;ve found they&#x27;re averse to opening accounts for foreign corporations.  They require a lot of extra paperwork, and a $50k minimum balance, but will do it.
