On: Poll: HN readers, where's your residence?

I live in Peru but created my corporation in the US in Delaware just to get the gateways and other US services.

This sounds like a business opportunity all by itself: "virtual domicile hosting" for offshore companies to get access to US services providers.

Would you mind emailing me with a bit of info on how you go about doing that? I assume you're not a US citizen? I'd really appreciate some pointers. davedx@gmail.com :)

I would be interested as well - mattmccor@gmail.com

I've also done this, it's not too hard. There are plenty of online services that let you setup an LLC in Delaware, LLCs have good benefits for non-residents.

You can then setup a business bank account as a non-residents using your LLC EIN, but I had to visit the US in person to do this.

Aside from the trip, what were the costs of this? That's something I'm considering doing...

[tren → danmaz74]

Sorry about the slow reply:

US LLC Incorporation and registered agent ~$300/y

Everything else is essentially free, I have a registered mailbox that redirects my mail and a US Skype Number attached to my iPhone. You'll need a US address to setup the bank account initially.
