Expat LLC · Hourly advisory
One hour with someone who forms and operates non-resident LLCs all year round. Your documents, your numbers, your deadlines, and a written recap afterwards, so the conversation becomes action.
What we handle
The Expat LLC packs cover the standard case: one non-resident, a Wyoming LLC, a services activity. As soon as your file steps outside that line, there is no formula: there is one hour of work on your case. This is that hour.
Audit of what you have: state, Operating Agreement, EIN, Registered Agent, actual tax status. What holds up, what is wrong, what needs fixing first.
Why the file was rejected (activity, country of residence, flows, KYC), and what we change before trying again. Which bank fits your exact profile, in which order.
Missing 5472s, missing pro forma 1120s, forgotten BOI. We establish real exposure year by year, the paths to catch up, and what you can handle alone versus what needs a licensed professional.
Two founders in two countries, a capital contribution, a profit split, an exit to plan for. The tax consequences of moving to multi-member, and what the Operating Agreement must say.
Inventory in the US, a contractor or employee on the ground, a platform asking you for a W-8/W-9, revenue taking off. The moment the question "do I have a US taxable activity?" stops being theoretical.
Clean dissolution, change of state, transition to a local company in your country of residence. The order of operations, and the filings that remain due even after closing.
The process
The value of a consultation is decided before the call. You send your file, it is read, and the hour starts where your situation starts, not at a reminder of what an LLC is.
You pick your slot and pay the 150 $ right there. The booking form asks about your situation, your country of residence, what you already have and the question you want settled.
Your documents have been read ahead of time. We go straight to the trade-offs: what you do, in which order, at what cost, and what you absolutely do not do. In English, French or Spanish.
Decisions made, dated steps, forms involved and useful links, in writing. That document is what you use afterwards, not your memory of the call.
The offer
The price is firm and not creditable against any later service. That is deliberate: you are buying advice, not a sales deposit. No one will pitch you a pack during the hour you paid for.
One hour on your case, prepared beforehand, followed by a written recap.
One hour of advice is worth what it promises. Here is what it does not promise.
Are you forming your first LLC, solo, for a services business? Do not pay for the consultation. The turnkey pack already includes the hand-holding you need, and the free discovery call is enough to confirm that you are in the standard case. The consultation is for files that fall outside it.
Frequently asked
No, and that is deliberate. The consultation is not a sales deposit: you pay for one hour of advice and you leave with an actionable answer, whether or not you buy anything afterwards. If your real need is to choose a formula, do not pay: the discovery call is free.
The discovery call is there to figure out which Expat LLC formula fits your project: it is a sales conversation, it is free and it lasts about twenty minutes. The consultation, on the other hand, works on your case: we open your documents, we settle your trade-offs, and you receive a written recap. Nothing is sold to you during that hour.
Only if your case falls outside the standard setup: multiple partners, real US presence (inventory, employees, office), unclear tax residency, existing structure elsewhere. For a straightforward Wyoming LLC as a sole owner, the consultation adds nothing over the turnkey pack, which already includes hand-holding.
No. The consultation establishes what must be filed, for which years, and at what level of risk. Preparing the forms themselves (5472 + pro forma 1120) is a separate service, at 297 $ per year.
We see it before the end of the call and we stop at the hour. You then decide, cold, whether to book another hour. The call is never extended without you asking for it, and never billed beyond what you paid.
No. It is operational guidance grounded in the daily practice of non-resident LLCs. It is neither legal or tax advice in the sense of regulated professions, nor IRS representation. When a case requires a CPA, an Enrolled Agent or an attorney, we tell you and we point you to one.
English, French or Spanish, whichever you prefer. Portuguese is planned. The written recap is delivered in the same language as the call. Louis lives in Latin America and works with clients across the Americas and Europe, so serving each one in their own language is how the practice actually runs.
If the real question is your departure as a whole (breaking tax residency, choice of country, visa, wealth), the hourly consultation is not the right tool. That is what the Expatriation Plan is for: it addresses the six work streams of a departure instead of just one.
