Solutions
The right setup depends on what you actually sell
A dropshipper and a SaaS founder both need a U.S. company, and almost nothing after that is the same — which bank says yes, which processor holds your money, what you owe the IRS, and what breaks first. Find your business type below for the version of the answer that applies to you.
Software and SaaS
Recurring revenue, Stripe, and the question of when a C-corp starts to matter.
Ecommerce and physical products
Inventory, marketplaces, sales tax nexus, and payment processors that care where you ship from.
Amazon FBA sellers
FBA deserves its own page because inventory, insurance, and marketplace facilitator rules create a different risk profile from dropshipping or generic ecommerce.
Read the setupDropshipping businesses
Dropshipping has strong current SERP demand, but the value is in explaining that a U.S. entity solves the payment problem while creating real nexus and compliance work.
Read the setupEcommerce brands
This page covers DTC and multi-channel brands that are not cleanly dropshipping and not purely FBA, which keeps it broad enough to matter but distinct enough to avoid overlap.

Agencies and services
Client contracts, contractor payouts, and the point where invoicing personally stops working.
OFM agencies
This is a clear differentiation page because OFM is not really an entity problem; it is a banking, payouts, and documentation problem that generic formation providers barely address.
Read the setupConsultants and freelancers
This page earns its place by being the honest threshold page: not every freelancer should form immediately, and that direct answer is useful search content.
Read the setupDigital agencies
Agency intent is commercially strong and materially different from solo consulting because cross-border teams, retainers, and client procurement change the setup.

Creators and digital products
Platform payouts, audience income, and structures that survive a channel going quiet.
Affiliate marketing businesses
Affiliate intent is active and commercially useful, but the page needs to stay anchored in FTC disclosures, merchant relationships, and payout structure to avoid being generic.
Read the setupCreator businesses
Creator businesses deserve their own page because sponsorships, platform payouts, affiliate income, and talent agreements create a revenue mix unlike classic ecommerce or consulting.
Read the setupDigital product sellers
Digital products justify their own page because platform mix, licensing terms, and digital-sales tax issues differ from both SaaS and online courses.
Read the setupOnline course businesses
Course businesses are distinct from general creator pages because student disputes, refund promises, and regulated-advice risks change the liability profile.

Crypto and finance
Banking access, exchange onboarding, and reporting that is stricter than founders expect.
Don’t see your business type?
These pages exist for the niches where the operating answer genuinely differs. For everything else, the founder guides cover the same ground end to end — from choosing an entity to filing the first return.
