From zero to a legally structured, banked, and visa-compliant remote business — the complete roadmap.
Most remote founders tackle their company, banking, and visa needs in an ad hoc, reactive way — often discovering that choices made early (wrong state, no operating agreement, wrong entity type) create friction months later. The biggest issue is sequencing: things need to happen in the right order to avoid delays and rework.
Decide on jurisdiction (US LLC, UK Ltd, Singapore, HK, UAE free zone) based on client geography, banking needs, and tax structure goals. This choice unlocks or constrains everything else.
US LLC: EIN from IRS. UK Ltd: UTR number from HMRC. Singapore: UEN assigned on incorporation. HK: Business Registration Number from IRD. UAE: TRN from Federal Tax Authority (for VAT if applicable).
Target the right institution for your entity type and nationality. US LLC: Mercury/Relay/Wise. UK Ltd: Wise/Revolut/Tide. Singapore: DBS/Aspire. HK: Currenxie/Airwallex. UAE: ENBD/Mashreq/Wio.
Connect Stripe, PayPal, or your preferred processor to your bank account. For US entities, Stripe requires a US bank account (Mercury or Wise US routing number).
If relocating or wanting long-term residency: UAE remote work visa, Thailand DTV, Portugal D8, or another nomad/long-stay visa. UAE free zone company enables company-sponsored visa.
