Forming a US company as a foreign entrepreneur has historically been a friction-filled process. BaseAcross eliminates that friction by handling corporate formation and ongoing compliance entirely for non-resident founders who lack a US Social Security Number or physical address. The product targets a specific and underserved market: international founders who want to establish legitimacy, open US bank accounts, and accept payments via Stripe without navigating Byzantine bureaucracy or hiring expensive lawyers. The solution encompasses the entire lifecycle—from LLC or C-Corp incorporation in Wyoming or Delaware through annual compliance filings, compliance deadline tracking, and essential documentation for banking applications. What distinguishes BaseAcross is the comprehensiveness of its integrated offering. Beyond formation, the platform handles EIN assignment without requiring an SSN, a critical advantage for non-resident founders. It generates the specific documents that US banks demand, maintains compliance calendars with cost estimates surfaced well in advance, and connects users to startup credit programs from Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft. The platform also extends into adjacent needs: it provisions a US business phone number, sets up professional email and business domains, provides bookkeeping with automated transaction categorization, and offers managed WordPress or Shopify hosting. The user experience is designed for transparency. The timeline is explicit: same-day filing after confirmation, EIN assignment within one to two weeks, and bank-ready documents shortly after. Users see the full order and cost before paying, with the platform handling communication with state filing agencies throughout. Pricing is straightforward: $249 annually plus state fees at cost. The example shown—$351.40 total for Wyoming incorporation—reflects actual filing costs passed through without markup. Certain features like the US phone number and domain are free for the first three months, then included in the ongoing "Operate" plan. Annual compliance obligations like state reports carry transparent pricing shown in advance. The platform integrates deeply with financial infrastructure founders actually use: Mercury, Stripe, PayPal, Shopify, and others are embedded throughout the product. This reflects BaseAcross's understanding of what founders need downstream and builds the company formation experience around those requirements. For non-resident founders, particularly those bootstrapping or early-stage, BaseAcross removes a genuine barrier to incorporating in the US and accessing US financial rails without that incorporation requiring a US presence or identity number.
