Company formation designed around selling
Sell where your customers are
A US, UK or Chinese company opens local marketplaces, payment platforms and suppliers that are hard to use otherwise.
Plain advice first
We tell you if you do not need a company, or if a simpler structure will do. Not every business needs one.
Built for sellers
We understand e-commerce, marketplaces and VAT, so the company is set up to support how you sell.
Local specialists
Registered agents, accountants and licensed providers in each country, coordinated by us.
Clear quotes
Our fee and government or third-party fees are listed separately, with no hidden extras.
Ready for the Gulf
Once your company exists, we connect it to Amazon and Noon in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with VAT and Arabic listings.

Business setup questions
Which country should I form a company in?
It depends on where you sell and bank. The US suits US sales and investors, the UK suits UK and European selling with a quick, low-cost set-up, and China suits operations in mainland China. We advise after a short call.
Can I form a company without travelling?
In the US and UK, yes. China usually needs the legal representative present for banking, though many steps are done remotely.
Does a company give me a visa or residency?
No. A company does not by itself give immigration status in any of these countries.
Do I need a company to sell in the UAE or Saudi Arabia?
Often not. We help international sellers register for VAT and sell on Amazon and Noon in the Gulf without a local company. See Global to Gulf.
Are you a law or accounting firm?
No. We coordinate formation with registered agents, accountants and licensed local providers. For legal or tax advice, consult a qualified professional.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the country, entity and state. We quote our service fee separately from government and third-party fees so you can see what you are paying for.
