WHAT BANKING READINESS MEANS
A clearer application starts with the right information
We help you bring the core company documents and business details together before you approach a bank, fintech or payment provider.
01 — COMPANY DOCUMENTS
Organize your Articles of Organization, EIN confirmation, Operating Agreement and ownership details in a clear order.
02 — APPLICATION DETAILS
Prepare a consistent business description, expected account use, website links, contact details and anticipated payment activity.
03 — FOLLOW-UP REQUESTS
Understand common requests for proof of address, contracts, invoices or additional KYC information.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SUPPORT LEVEL
Banking guidance that fits your setup
The €849 US LLC Setup for Europeans package includes a Banking Readiness checklist. Premium Launch at €1,190 adds hands-on preparation for Mercury, Wise or alternative providers, including a review of application information before submission where possible.

CLEAR PREPARATION. REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS.
We help you prepare. The provider decides.
A complete and consistent application can reduce avoidable questions and delays. Each bank, fintech or payment provider still applies its own eligibility, compliance and risk criteria.

✓ Prepared answers for common application questions
WHAT THE PROVIDER DECIDES
- Eligibility based on country, business activity and internal risk policy
