Why clients call us
The forms are the easy part. Choosing the right route is not.
A wrong visa category, a missed deadline or a company set up in the wrong state can cost months. These are the questions we hear most often.
Which visa or permit actually fits my situation?
We compare the realistic options against your goals, budget and timeline, and tell you plainly which ones will work and which won't.
Can I do this from abroad?
Usually, yes. U.S. company formation needs no trip to the United States, and Polish cases are prepared online before any office appointment.
Who do I call when something changes?
Your case stays with the same specialized team from the first call to the final decision, and your questions get answered along the way.

FAQ
Questions we hear before the first call
How do I get started?
Book a free 15-minute case evaluation. If we can help, we'll confirm the scope and the fee. Once you approve it, you complete a short online intake and we handle the rest.
Is the first call really free?
Yes. The 15-minute case evaluation on Google Meet is free. If you need in-depth advice, you can book a longer 45-minute consultation online or at our Warsaw office.
Do I need to travel to the U.S. to start a company there?
No. We form U.S. companies fully remotely, so you can set up your business without visiting the United States.
Do I need U.S. citizenship or an SSN to own a U.S. company?
No. Non-U.S. citizens and non-residents can own a U.S. LLC or corporation, and we can obtain an EIN for the company without an SSN. Keep in mind that owning a U.S. company does not, on its own, give you the right to live or work in the United States.
Can you help me open a U.S. bank account?
Yes. After we form your company, we introduce you to a trusted third-party provider that can help you open a U.S. business bank account remotely. The introduction is available to our clients only.
Can you handle U.S. and Polish matters together?
Yes, that is what the firm is built for. Our attorney is licensed in California and admitted to the Warsaw Bar, so one team can advise on both sides of a cross-border move or expansion.
Which languages do you work in?
English and Polish.
