starting a US business in Colombia

If I were to offer services, say over the phone or internet, from Colombia, but wanted it registered as a US business, can that be set up from here? - Colombia. Or would I have to wait until I'm in the US to do that? Just some ideas....

I did it. I think we may have spoken before. Give me a call here in Bogota to discuss it. To be clear, I created a U.S. NGO and registered there first, here second. Not a for-profit business, which is a different process. If this is helpful, call me. 3128632112 or fijo 2210761

I'll try to call sometime this week, but it would be a for-profit business. What I would want to do is have it be a US business, but register it from here, if that is even possible. I wouldn't be going there for a while.

Companies are registered in the individual states, depending on your business location. Your business location determines which state. To register in CA, you need a verifiable California location. Both of my LLCs are registered in in CA, but i have the main office in CTG. With a CA location, you can mail in all application, etc. No appearance is necessary, just an EIN only for tax purposes.

Just my opinion...

PS: choose a state which does not have a state income tax... like Florida, Texas, Nevada, etc. CA taxes you to the bone.

EIN, (something) Identification Number? Hmm, having a location is going to be the tough one. The only place I could use would be NY. I'll check on it. Thanks for the info.
