Forming a US company from your country? Here's what changes.
The filing itself is the same wherever you live. What changes is whether your country has a tax treaty with the US, whether Stripe works there, whether Mercury will open an account for you, and what your own tax office expects. Each country has its own page with the answers, checked against the sources and dated.
