Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

(Home)

General Services

1. What is Remote Business Service, and who are your services for?

Remote Business Service provides specialized business formation, tax support, and compliance services. Our primary clients are startups, Digital Nomads, Expats, Remote Entrepreneurs, Online Business Owners, and anyone who operates a business remotely and needs a strong U.S. legal and tax foundation.

2. What specific services do you offer for remote entrepreneurs and online business owners?

We offer comprehensive solutions including:

·       Anonymous LLC formation in Delaware, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas.

·       Employer Identification Number (EIN) filing as your third-party representative.

·       Federal & State Tax E-filing and support.

·       Ongoing compliance monitoring and advisory through our paralegal and enrolled agent expertise.

3. What does your "One and Done" pricing mean? Are there any recurring fees?

Our "One and Done" pricing means you pay a single, transparent fee for the specific service you need, such as forming an anonymous LLC. We do not charge mandatory monthly or annual subscription fees. However, please note that some states require separate annual report fees or franchise taxes, which are your responsibility. We can often assist with these filings for an additional service fee if needed.

In addition, if after the first year of us providing services to you, you wish us to continue to provide monitoring & representation services for state reminders and federal and state tax assistance, these services can be arranged separately from business formation services. Feel free to contact us through our Contact Form (link) or through secure communications.

Business Formation & Anonymous Filing

4. What is "anonymous filing," and why is it beneficial?

Anonymous filing (or privacy filing) is a method of forming an LLC where the names and addresses of the true owners are not listed on public state records. Instead, a third-party nominee or manager represents the company. The benefit is enhanced privacy, asset protection, and reduced exposure to spam, scams, and unsolicited contact.

5. Which state is best for my business: Delaware, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, or Texas?

The "best" state depends on your specific goals:

·       Delaware: Preferred for corporations, strong case law, and investor-friendly courts.

·       Wyoming & Nevada: Offer strong privacy protection and no state corporate income tax.

·       New Mexico: Provides anonymity by default, as it does not require member/manager names in filings.

·       Texas: A strong, reputable state that allows privacy through nominee managers.

·       We can help you evaluate based on your business type, location, and privacy needs.

6. What information is required to start an anonymous LLC filing?

You will typically need to provide:

·       Your desired LLC name (we will check availability).

·       The business purpose.

·       Your contact information (kept private with us).

·       Information for the registered agent.

·       Details for the nominee manager/officer who will appear on the public record.

7. How long does the business formation process typically take?

Processing times vary by state. Expedited filing is available in most states, which can reduce the time to a few business days. Standard processing can take 4 to 20 business days. We will provide a specific timeline based on your chosen state and service level at the start of the process.

8. Do you handle obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN) as part of the filing?

Yes. Our on-staff Enrolled Agent, is authorized by the IRS to act as your third-party representative. We can file for your EIN on your behalf as part of our comprehensive Absolute Minimum filing package, ensuring it's done correctly and securely.

Tax & Compliance Services

9. What does it mean that you are a Licensed Enrolled Agent, and how does it benefit me?

An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally-licensed tax practitioner who has unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. This means we can prepare and file your business (LLC’s & S-Corporations) and personal tax returns, handle IRS communications, audits, and appeals on your behalf. An EA is also permitted to handle specific issues before the Financial Crimes & Enforcement Network (FinCEN) for taxpayers. It is the highest credential awarded by the IRS, ensuring you receive expert guidance.

10. What tax filing and support services do you provide?

We provide Federal and State Tax preparation and E-filing services (separately from business registrations services) for businesses (LLC’s & S-Corporations) and individuals. Our support includes tax planning, preparation, submission, and representation in case of any inquiries or audits from tax authorities.

13. How do you help businesses stay compliant with state and federal regulations?

With over 20 years of experience, we actively monitor compliance deadlines for our clients. This includes tracking due dates for annual reports, franchise taxes, business license renewals, and informational tax returns. We provide reminders and can manage the filing process for you to prevent penalties and maintain good standing.

Working with You

14. What is your typical process from initial inquiry to completed filing?

·       Contact: You reach out to us via our Contact Form or WhatsApp.

·       Consultation: We discuss your needs and recommend the best state/structure.

·       Engagement: You approve the quote and provide necessary information.

·       Filing: We prepare and submit all state documents and EIN application.

·       For business registration, when completed (by government agencies) and all fees have been paid to us, we will electronically deliver to you, through secure channels (WhatsApp, Signal, Encrypted Email) all documents generated by us and the state to complete your business filing. We will also deliver all documents generated by us and the IRS to complete your EIN filing.

·       Support: We remain available for ongoing federal and state compliance questions.

15. What documents and information will I need to provide?

You will need to provide personal identification (for our private records), business name options, business address, and details about ownership structure. We will provide a clear, secure checklist once we begin the process.

16. How do we communicate throughout the process (e.g., email, WhatsApp)?

We offer flexible communication to suit our global clientele. You can communicate with us via Proton email or directly through WhatsApp for quick, convenient updates and questions.

17. Communicating by email encrypted using Proton Mail ONLY

To safeguard our most critical asset—information—we have mandated the exclusive use of Proton Mail for all company email communication with contracted clients. This decision is fundamental to our commitment to security, privacy, and operational integrity.

Unlike conventional services, Proton Mail provides automatic end-to-end encryption, guaranteeing that our strategic plans, financial data, and confidential discussions remain strictly between the sender and the intended recipient. This technology ensures that even in the event of a server breach, the content of our emails is indecipherable.

This policy also protects us from data harvesting, targeted phishing, and unauthorized surveillance. By using a single, secure platform, we eliminate inconsistencies in security practices and create a unified, trusted environment for every internal and external exchange. Adopting Proton Mail is not just a technical choice; it is a non-negotiable standard for protecting our intellectual property and maintaining the trust of our clients and partners.

If you don’t have a Proton Mail account, you can sign up for a free Proton Email account at: https://proton.me/mail/pricing

18. Will I have a dedicated point of contact?

Yes. You will have a primary point of contact to ensure consistent and clear communication throughout your engagement with us.

Security, Privacy & Legal

19. How do you protect my personal and business information?

We use secure, encrypted methods for all data transmission and storage. As your nominee and third-party representative, our core service is to shield your information from public records. We adhere to strict confidentiality protocols compliant with IRS and FinCEN standards.

All data and records are stored in the U.S.

20. As my third-party representative, what are your responsibilities?

As your third-party representative, we act as your authorized contact with state agencies and the IRS for the purposes of formation and filing. We list our information (where permissible) on public documents to protect your privacy and ensure official correspondence is handled professionally and promptly.

21. Where can I find your Privacy Policy and Terms of Service?

You can find our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Compliance Information in the "Documents" section of our website header and footer.

22. Who should I contact with compliance or legal questions after setup?

For ongoing compliance and legal questions, you should continue contact us through secure communications. Our team, which includes a paralegal with expertise in business law and compliance, is here to provide ongoing support.

For direct IRS inquiries, we also provide a link to Contact the IRS in our website footer.
