Ask YC: Canadian, Set up US Office?
Anyone know how a foreign company, Canadian in my case, goes about setting up a US based company? My purpose is to be able to use all the great services out there (YPN for instance) that are only available to "US Citizens or Companies".

Not sure it's worth incorporating a company (which may involve foreign ownership accounting hassles) to handle it. You might want to try to get a bank account or CC in the states, and fund it personally, and just not get the business deduction for it. I did that with Amazon's services, before they accepted credit cards. Hope that helps and good luck with it.
