01 / Invest in the United States
Build your U.S. investment foundation.
Prepare for U.S. property or business investments with an ownership plan, entity and banking file, financing review and local professional relationships.
Special programs /A U.S. structure.
For international investors
A U.S. structure.
A global investment plan.
Build the framework to invest in the United States—or use a U.S. business structure to invest abroad. Connect entity setup, tax planning, banking readiness and the people and systems needed to operate with clarity.
More than a formation filing.
A plan for how the business works.
Corporate structure can clarify ownership, responsibilities and how an investment is managed. The value comes from choosing an appropriate structure and maintaining it properly. We help connect the legal, tax, financial and operational questions before you move forward.
02 / Invest internationally
Connect a U.S. entity to your overseas plans.
Evaluate how a U.S. business would own or participate in investments abroad, with coordinated review of local ownership rules, contracts, taxes, transfers and reporting.

Personal class experience.The working framework
From structure to operating readiness.
Your experience is the starting point. The call identifies gaps, the support you need and the deliverables appropriate to your countries and investment plans.
Discuss your plan and pricing- 01
Entity strategy & ownership
Compare a U.S. LLC and other appropriate structures with qualified advisers. Map owners, control, liability separation, operating agreements and state requirements to your actual business activities and investment goals.
- 02
Tax planning across borders
Organize a joint review with U.S. and home-country tax professionals: residency, entity classification, income sources, treaty eligibility, withholding and reporting. Evaluate potential efficiencies alongside compliance costs before forming an entity.
- 03
Formation & banking preparation
Build the formation checklist: state filing, registered agent, EIN, ownership records, signing authority and a complete bank application file. Prepare identity and source-of-funds documentation; each institution makes its own account decision.
- 04
Credit readiness & lending numbers
Understand good credit habits, lender eligibility, guarantees and financing documentation for international owners. Review leverage, equity, interest, fees, reserves and currency exposure. A new LLC or EIN alone does not create established business credit.
- 05
Contracts & investment due diligence
Organize property and counterparty checks, ownership evidence, agreements, funding terms and exit assumptions. Route U.S. and destination-country legal questions to the appropriate counsel before committing funds or signing contracts.
- 06
Reliable systems & communication
Set up separate business records, a document register, bookkeeping handoff, approval rules and reporting routines. Clarify who communicates with banks, lenders, lawyers, accountants and local operators, with clear escalation contacts.
- 07
Timelines & ongoing responsibilities
Create a sequence for adviser review, formation, tax identification, banking and investment readiness. Track dependencies, annual filings and reporting deadlines. Confirm applicable foreign-owner reporting, including Form 5472 where required, with your tax adviser.
How it works
Make the decisions in the right order.
- 01 / Discuss
Map your goals.
Share your residence, investment destinations, ownership and timeline. Start before you form an entity.
- 02 / Design
Confirm the structure and scope.
Coordinate professional review, identify requirements and agree on deliverables, responsibilities and fees.
- 03 / Prepare
Build the operating file.
Work through setup and documentation, establish reporting systems and track the steps required for your first investment.
FNF provides planning and coordination. Legal, tax and regulated investment advice require appropriately qualified professionals. No tax savings, asset protection, account opening, financing or investment results are guaranteed.
Before you start
Your questions, answered.
Is this for investing in the U.S. or outside it?
Both. We start with where you live, where the business operates, where investments are located and who owns the entity. A U.S. structure for investments abroad still needs destination-country and home-country review.
Will forming an LLC automatically reduce my taxes?
No. An LLC is a legal structure with tax treatment that depends on ownership, elections and activity. Potential benefits must be evaluated alongside U.S., home-country and investment-country obligations by qualified tax professionals.
Can I start without a U.S. entity or property?
Yes. The first call can focus on your goals and whether a U.S. structure is appropriate. You do not need to form an LLC or choose a property before requesting a consultation.
Does this guarantee a bank account, financing or residency?
No. Banks and lenders have their own eligibility and review processes. Entity formation does not itself provide immigration status, financing approval or a guaranteed investment outcome.
Who handles legal and tax advice?
FNF organizes the planning process, documentation and professional coordination. Formation counsel, tax professionals and any destination-country advisers confirm legal and tax decisions under their own engagements. Their scope and fees are identified before you commit.
What does it cost and how long does it take?
Schedule a call so we can review your countries, ownership, planned activity and existing documents. We discuss the package, professional fees, government costs and timeline before engagement. Pricing is provided on the call.
What happens when I select Schedule a call?
Send your contact details and goals through our program intake. Include your country, preferred language, time zone and availability. Our team follows up to arrange a time; submitting the request does not reserve a calendar appointment or enroll you in a paid program.
