FoundingDoc / Who it's for
Who it's for
Two kinds of founders.
One pipeline, tuned for each.
The pipeline reads your situation and drops the stages you don't need. Nobody pays for paperwork that doesn't apply to them.
Founders outside the US
No SSN. No US address. No problem.
If you can photograph your passport, you can form a US company.
- Passport-based identity check, from any country
- EIN without an SSN, filed directly with the IRS
- ITIN application built in as a pipeline stage, not a referral to someone else
- US business address and phone in the company's name
- Bank account that accepts your foreign home address
Founders in the US
The fast path, minus the parts you don't need.
Same finished company, fewer stages, lower cost.
- Government photo ID is all the paperwork you upload
- EIN issued on your SSN, typically same day
- ITIN stage skipped entirely, and never billed
- Your SSN encrypted at rest, used once for the IRS filing, never stored in documents
- Same bank, credit, and web stages as every formation
Founders anywhere
Built first for founders without a US passport.
Most formation services treat international founders as the edge case. FoundingDoc was engineered the other way around: the no-SSN path is the original pipeline, and the US path is the simplification. Identity verification works from any country, and a person reviews your documents, not a black box.
