Launch your US business in 4 weeks

Stripe Atlas, Clerky, and Doola handle US entity formation — but they stop there. None of them handle India-side FEMA/RBI compliance. ZenoLedger is the only service that bridges both sides: US formation AND Indian regulatory requirements. This means you get one partner for everything, not a US service plus a separate Indian CA.

Yes. Any Indian resident who invests equity in a foreign entity — even $100 in share capital — must file Form ODI with their Authorized Dealer bank and comply with FEMA regulations. Non-compliance leads to compounding penalties that can reach three times the investment amount or ₹2 lakh per day.

Our standard process takes 4 weeks: Week 1 for entity setup and documentation, Week 2 for US banking (Mercury + Stripe), Week 3 for RBI/FEMA compliance filings, and Week 4 for final setup including EIN and compliance calendar activation.

It depends on your goals. LLCs offer operational flexibility and pass-through taxation, ideal for most small businesses and solo founders. C-Corps are better if you plan to raise venture capital or need a complex equity structure. We help you decide during your discovery call.

Our Rescue Squad specializes in exactly this. We handle FEMA compounding applications, late ODI filings, penalty negotiations with the RBI, and complete historical compliance cleanup. The sooner you address it, the lower the penalties.

Yes. Our Compliance Guard plan covers annual US tax filing, state franchise tax, India APR filing (by December 31 each year), FLA reporting, registered agent renewal, and transfer pricing documentation. We set up a compliance calendar so you never miss a deadline.

Yes. No US citizenship, residency, or physical visit is required. The entire process — formation, banking, compliance — is handled remotely. You must comply with RBI regulations for outward remittance, which we handle for you.

Sales tax in the US is levied at the state level. If you sell services, there is generally no sales tax. If you sell physical products directly to consumers, you may need to collect it — but marketplaces like Amazon and Etsy handle sales tax collection for you.

Yes. Our CPA firm principal Siddharth Pruthi holds a US CPA firm license and can sign SOC 2 compliance attestation reports. This is particularly valuable for SaaS companies that need SOC 2 to close enterprise deals.

Yes. We have experience helping Indian companies import goods to the US and navigate the FDA approval process. This is relevant for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and medical device companies looking to sell in the US market.
