Were they not closed to non-US people?
- sparkling 5y agoAnyone* can own a US company, you don't need to be a US citizen. However this usually creates some legal headache since most countries have strict controlled foreign corporation (CFC) rules. So if you are living in France and use a service like Strip Atlas, french tax authorities will probably make the case that the company is being managed from France and is therefore liable for french taxes on a corporate level. * excluding embargoed countries etc.
- boraoztunc 5y agoI was thinking the same, because last year when I was forming the LLC, I remember eliminating Atlas for this reason, also Stripe is not operating in Turkey and not accepting applications. So I formed through another company, which was cheaper with more features. 500$ for Atlas, and you still have to do a lot of stuff and pay more to move forward. Even they are not providing services in Turkey, and no intention to fight for this equality, they like to use Turkish founders in marketing materials, videos as you can see in this Atlas campaign. Not feel right.
