Hello! My name is Oleg Lestunov. Currently, I work as a paralegal at a law firm in Boston specializing in Landlord & Tenant Law. Our firm serves clients across the entire state and covers the whole New England region — one of our major strengths. In addition, I assist individuals with immigration matters at the federal level across all U.S. states. I also help clients — both U.S. residents and foreign entrepreneurs — with starting corporations and opening business bank accounts. If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to help.

Business Registration in the USA — Support at Every Stage, from Entity Selection to Launch
In 2023, a client approached me seeking to establish a U.S.-based company for online operations. He was located outside the United States, had no U.S. address or SSN. The goal — remote business management with a transparent tax structure and a U.S. bank account.
I joined the process at the stage where the client was independently researching options between LLC, S-Corp, and C-Corp, but was facing conflicting information. The task was not only to register the company, but also to build a clear structure for management and accounting.
What Steps Help Launch a Business?
- Choosing the entity type and registration state. A comparative analysis of LLC, S-Corp, and C-Corp is conducted based on the client’s goals, citizenship, and business model. A state (e.g., Wyoming) is selected considering tax and administrative advantages for non-residents.
- Company registration and document preparation. Registration is arranged via a verified agent providing a U.S. address. Internal documents such as the Operating Agreement and Initial Resolutions are prepared with remote management in mind.
- Obtaining an EIN and opening a bank account. EIN is obtained directly from the IRS without an SSN. Banks allowing remote account opening are selected, with instructions provided for KYC and W-8BEN-E compliance.
- Basic tax navigation. Tax principles (e.g., pass-through entity for LLCs) are explained, along with mandatory reports (Form 5472, Annual Report) and reliable resources for bookkeeping support.
Case Study
Situation: A client from Europe planned to start a U.S. business without physical presence. The task included choosing the entity type, registering the company, and opening a bank account.
Actions taken:
- Analyzed LLC, S-Corp, and C-Corp options;
- Selected the optimal state and agent;
- Obtained EIN via IRS without SSN;
- Opened an account with an online bank (Mercury, Relay);
- Provided guidance on basic reporting and document flow.
Result: Within 3 weeks, the client received a registered company, EIN, and access to U.S. banking. The business started operating in compliance with legal requirements.
