Our Process

Thorough by design. Efficient by discipline.

Every engagement follows a structured five-stage process. We don't file anything until we've reviewed your situation, mapped your structure, and received your written approval.

01
Discovery & Intake

Deep-dive on your existing business, home-country structure, ownership chain, and US objectives. No assumptions.

Days 1–3
02
KYC & Document Review

Identity verification, beneficial ownership mapping, AML screening, and review of existing corporate documents.

Days 3–7
03
Structure Recommendation

Written memo — recommended entity type, state, tax position, and multi-jurisdiction considerations. Delivered for your review.

Days 7–12
04
Approval & Filing

You review and sign off. We execute all filings only after your explicit written approval — never before.

Days 12–18
05
Activation & Handover

EIN, address, banking facilitation, and compliance calendar delivered. Operational and protected from day one.

Days 18–25

Why this takes 3–4 weeks — and why that's the right answer.

The businesses that run into trouble in the US are the ones that moved too fast at the start. A misclassified entity, a missed nexus, an undisclosed ownership chain — these aren't paperwork problems. They're expensive legal and tax problems that compound over time.

Written recommendation before any filing

You see our reasoning, approve it, then we move.

KYC & AML as standard, not an afterthought

Required by US banking partners and federal regulators for foreign-owned entities.

Lean Six Sigma process discipline

No steps skipped. No rework. The same rigorous playbook, every engagement.

Client Stories

Businesses that made the move — properly.

From Singapore SaaS to Jakarta manufacturing — here's what our clients say.

★★★★★

"What set ClearEntry apart was the written recommendation memo before anything was filed. They identified a structural conflict with our Singapore entity that would have caused serious problems down the line. That memo alone was worth the engagement."

AN
Aditya N.
Founder & CEO, SaaS Platform · Singapore 🇸🇬
★★★★★

"We had previously worked with two US law firms who didn't understand our Indonesian holding structure at all. ClearEntry understood the intercompany implications immediately. Four weeks — properly structured, properly protected."

HS
Hendra S.
Managing Director, Manufacturing · Indonesia 🇮🇩
★★★★★

"The compliance calendar keeps us. ClearEntry tracks every deadline across our three US entities and alerts us in advance. We've been penalty-free for two consecutive years since making the switch."

FAQ

Questions we hear from every client.

If your question isn't here, our team responds within one business day.

Ask Us Directly →
Do I need to travel to the US at any point?
No. The entire ClearEntry process is 100% remote. You sign all documents digitally and we handle all filings on your behalf. You are never required to visit the United States to incorporate, obtain an EIN, or open a business bank account through our partner network.
Why does the process take 3–4 weeks? Other services are faster.
Faster services skip the steps that matter most for established businesses — KYC verification, beneficial ownership mapping, multi-jurisdiction tax analysis, and a written structure recommendation. If you have an existing business in Southeast Asia, a rushed filing that ignores your existing structure can create serious tax and legal problems. Our process prevents those problems before they start.
Which US state should my company be incorporated in?
Delaware and Wyoming are the most common choices for foreign-owned entities — favorable tax treatment, privacy protections, and business-friendly legal frameworks. The right state depends on your industry, operational footprint, and existing structure. ClearEntry produces a written state selection recommendation as part of every Expansion and Enterprise engagement.
Can I open a US bank account without visiting the US?
Yes. Traditional US banks typically require an in-person visit, but ClearEntry works with fintech banking partners — including Mercury, Relay, and Wise Business — that allow foreign-owned US entities to open accounts fully remotely. We facilitate the introduction and guide you through their documentation requirements.
What are government filing fees and why aren't they included?
Government filing fees are charges paid directly to state and federal agencies — for example, state incorporation fees and IRS processing costs. They vary by state and entity type and are outside ClearEntry's control. We disclose all applicable government fees in full before you commit, itemized separately in your engagement agreement. These fees are non-refundable as they are remitted directly to government agencies on your behalf.
We already have a US entity. Can ClearEntry take over our compliance?
Yes. Our Compliance Partner monthly retainer is designed for businesses with an existing US entity who need a professional partner for ongoing obligations — annual reports, state filings, BOI updates, tax preparation, and registered agent services. We conduct a brief onboarding review before taking over to ensure there are no outstanding gaps or missed filings.
