1. Determine the state where the registered company is located, and rent a local business address. You can also determine a business address first, such as using the services of a well-known company, and then register the company in that state. You should choose your business address carefully and don't change it easily, because this address should be used as the registered address of the company and used to receive letters from the government and other institutions.

2. determine the Registered Agent, which is a necessary condition for registering American companies. Note that there are many organizations on the Internet that can help you register American companies, not all of which are registered agents. They need to pay fees to registered agents, and of course they will also charge intermediary service fees. The annual agency fee of each Registered Agent is different, for example, InCorp's agency fee is 99 dollars/state/year. If the company wants to exist forever, it must pay the agency fee to the Registered Agent every year.

3. LLC (limited liability company) is the easiest to register a company on the state government website. When filling in the form, the registered address is filled in with the business address, and the Registered Agent chooses the one to use.

4. After the company is successfully registered, it should apply for an EIN (Employer Identification Number), which is required for both tax payment and opening a bank account. Although the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides online applications, applicants need to have SSN (Social Security Number) or ITIN (Taxpayer Identification Number), which are not available in China, so they can seek help from the Registered Agent or other companies that provide EIN application services. The other party will indicate your identity as a foreign citizen in the prepared form, and you don't need to fill in SSN or ITIN. You can use DocuSign's electronic signature for your personal signature.

5. After receiving the application, IRS will send EIN to the registered address of your company once it is approved.

6. With EIN, you can consider opening a bank account. After the September 11th incident, the Patriot Act of the United States imposed strict restrictions on foreigners opening bank accounts. It is almost impossible to open an account remotely through the Internet. If you have the opportunity to travel to the United States, you can open an account at a local bank. If you don't have the opportunity to go to the United States, it is recommended to write to banks such as Silicon Valley Bank in the United States for consultation, and their branches in China will verify your situation. Once the bank account is opened successfully, your company can really operate normally in the United States. Be sure to contact the bank directly, and don't look for all kinds of intermediary agencies that claim to be able to open accounts remotely, otherwise the funds in the bank account may not be guaranteed.
