The Start Globally platform

Everything you need to build and operate globally. From company formation and business banking to payments and global commerce, Start Globally connects the infrastructure your business needs to operate internationally.

One business. Five layers. Each layer builds on the one beneath it.

You don't need to know which service to buy. Tell us what you're building and we set up each layer in the order banks, payment providers and marketplaces expect.

Layer 1 · Build

Your international business foundation.

A US LLC or UK Limited Company with everything that makes it real to the outside world: an EIN, a registered agent, a business address and mail forwarding.

  • US LLC in any state, or UK LTD
  • EIN and ITIN
  • Registered agent, address and mail
Explore Build

Layer 2 · Pay

Get paid and manage business money.

With the foundation in place, we open your business bank account and prepare your payment applications so customers anywhere can pay you.

  • Mercury, Relay or Airwallex banking
  • Stripe and PayPal
  • Wise and Payoneer for multi-currency
Explore Pay

Layer 3 · Commerce

Build and operate global commerce.

Selling products? Your company, tax ID and bank account go into marketplace applications together, so approval doesn't stall on missing details.

  • Amazon, Shopify and Walmart
  • USPTO trademark and brand registration
  • Sourcing and fulfillment partners
Explore Commerce

Layer 4 · Scale

Expand into new markets and structures.

Add a UK company for European clients, a US entity for an existing business, or a structure that's ready for investors, without disrupting the accounts you rely on.

  • UK and US expansion
  • International structures
  • Investment-ready setup

Underneath it all · Operate

Stay compliant and keep running, every year.

Formation happens once; compliance happens every year. Operate keeps every layer above it in good standing: state reports, federal filings, renewals and mail.

  • State annual reports and franchise tax
  • Federal and UK filings
  • Phone, email and mail services
Explore Operate

Why the order matters. Most delays come from applying before the layer underneath is ready.

Each provider checks the work of the one before it. Getting the sequence right is the difference between a smooth approval and weeks of back-and-forth.

Banks ask forYour company documents and EIN

Mercury and Relay verify that your company exists and has a federal tax ID before opening an account.

Stripe and PayPal ask forYour company, EIN and bank account

Payouts need a business bank account in the company's name, and the details must match everywhere.

Marketplaces ask forAll of the above, together

Amazon and Walmart cross-check your company, tax ID, bank, address and identity in a single review.

From first form to first payout. An example path through the platform.

Say you're a freelance developer in Dhaka with clients in the US. Timing depends on the state, the IRS and each provider's review, but the sequence is always the same.
