Operating problem

Founders outside the U.S. need a company, an EIN, a bank account, and sometimes an ITIN. Each step has its own provider and rules, and a mistake early on can block the later ones.

What changed

Customers order in four steps: details, agreement, payment, and activation. The operator checks each paid order before filing, and the fee is fully refundable until the company is filed. Customers then follow every application on one dashboard. Passports and bank credentials never go through the app.

System scope

• Four-step order with the service agreement
• Email-link accounts and live Stripe checkout
• Operator review before any filing
• Customer dashboard with application status, perks, and library

Technical constraints

• Check every paid order by hand before filing, never automatically, while keeping the order itself quick.
• Change payment status only after the payment provider confirms it on the server, not when the browser returns from checkout.
• Keep passports and bank credentials out of the app while still telling the customer exactly what to send and where.
