From US/UK company formation to Stripe access, EIN, business banking, and full tax compliance – Xpezia builds the complete infrastructure Pakistani founders need to operate globally. No relocation. No guesswork.
You are not alone in this. Most Pakistani founders hit the same walls in the same order – and most lose months trying to figure it out without a clear map.
Stripe does not just limit Pakistani accounts – it blocks them at the point of creation. Not a withdrawal restriction. A full block. Founders with live products, active marketing, and real demand are losing sales every single day because of this one barrier. Leaving it unsolved means leaving revenue on the table indefinitely.
Opening a US business bank account is not just about having the right documents. Without the right entity structure, the correct EIN filing, and documentation formatted the way US banks expect, even founder-friendly options like Mercury will reject the application. Most founders never get a clear reason – just a denial, and then they start over.
The US tax and compliance system was built for US residents. EIN registration, ITIN applications, Form 5472 for single-member LLCs, BOI filings, annual state reports – none of this is intuitive for a founder operating from Pakistan. Missing a single filing does not just mean a fine. It can mean penalties, frozen accounts, or the entity being administratively dissolved.
Piecing this together from Reddit threads, Facebook groups, and five-year-old YouTube videos is not free – it costs time, and time costs money. Wrong filings mean resubmissions. Banking rejections mean delays. Every month spent figuring this out alone is a month not billing in USD, and the opportunity cost adds up faster than most founders expect.
Talk to us today and we will map out exactly what you need – before any money changes hands.
Most services file your LLC and call it done. Xpezia does not work that way. Every service here is part of one connected system, built in the right order, so each step unlocks the next.
A US LLC gives Pakistani founders what no local structure can – credibility with global clients, access to US banking, and Stripe eligibility from day one.
A UK private limited company is the right structure for founders targeting European markets or working with clients who prefer a UK entity.
The EIN is the federal tax ID that makes everything else possible – opening a US bank account, activating Stripe, filing taxes, and eventually hiring staff.
Once your entity is formed and your EIN is confirmed, Xpezia guides you through opening a remote US business bank account through Mercury, Relay, or Wise.
Stripe and PayPal access through a properly formed US LLC is legal, direct, and fully in your name – not through a third-party account or a workaround.
Xpezia handles the ITIN application, annual US tax filing, Form 5472 for single-member LLCs, and BOI reporting, so no deadline is missed and no filing catches you off guard.
For Amazon FBA sellers, Shopify store owners, and D2C brands, this is strategy-first advisory – not generic setup help. Entity structure is matched to your eCommerce model, marketplace accounts are set up correctly, and go-to-market planning is built around how you actually intend to sell.
For founders building international brands, this covers GTM strategy, paid media, and brand positioning from the ground up. Every engagement starts with a strategy and audit – not an execution-only campaign that burns budget without direction.
Cloud setup, SaaS operations, and technical infrastructure built to support a compliance-ready global entity. This is the technical layer that holds everything else together as your business scales.

Four steps. Fully remote. Guided at every stage. Before any money changes hands, you leave with a clear recommended structure mapped out for your specific situation.
Xpezia reviews your business model, target markets, and compliance requirements to identify exactly what you need – and in what order. Before any money changes hands, you leave with a clear recommended structure: entity type, state, and the full service sequence mapped out for your specific situation.
Xpezia files your LLC or LTD, secures your registered agent, and submits the EIN application directly to the IRS – all without requiring any action from you beyond providing your information. You receive your formation documents and EIN confirmation with no SS-4 confusion and no waiting to find out if something was filed correctly.
Once your EIN is confirmed, Xpezia walks you through the remote bank account opening process with Mercury, Relay, or Wise – and connects Stripe or PayPal to your entity in the same window. By the end of this step, you have a working USD account and active payment processing.
Xpezia tracks your annual report deadlines, BOI reporting, Form 5472, and all IRS obligations – with advance reminders and founder-specific guidance before each deadline. You are never left to figure out a filing alone or discover a missed deadline after the fact.
Every service comes with a clear list of deliverables. Here is what a complete Xpezia engagement covers.
Whether you are a solo freelancer trying to get paid in USD or an ecommerce brand ready to go international, the barriers are real – and they are specific to where you are building from.
Without a US entity, Amazon FBA seller account approval is off the table – and Shopify with Stripe is just as blocked. US Company Formation (LLC / C-Corp) paired with Stripe & PayPal Access for Pakistani Founders opens the full eCommerce stack: FBA approval, Shopify payments, and a real USD account to receive your payouts.
No US entity means Stripe rejection, difficulty signing contracts with US clients, and zero investor-readiness. A properly formed US LLC gives you a credible legal presence, a working payment foundation, and the structure investors expect when they ask about your incorporation.
PayPal withdrawal limits, Payoneer dependency, and the inability to invoice properly in USD – these are not small inconveniences. A US entity lets you bill clients in USD, receive direct wire transfers, and stop routing every payment through a platform that takes a cut and limits your access.
Living outside Pakistan but wanting to serve Pakistani or international markets with a proper legal structure is exactly what Xpezia is built for. Regardless of which country you are currently based in, Xpezia manages the full entity remotely – formation, banking, compliance, and everything in between.
This is not about discouraging independent research. It is about showing what the self-directed path typically looks like – and what a structured path actually delivers.

Outcomes from founders who came to Xpezia stuck – and left with a running global business.
I’d been trying to sort out Stripe for almost eight months. Tried everything – different registrars, random agents from Facebook groups, even paid someone who just disappeared. Xpezia got my LLC done, EIN confirmed, and Stripe live in under two weeks. I’m now billing my UK clients directly in USD and it just… works.
Living in Riyadh, I always assumed setting up a proper US company would mean flying to the States or dealing with some dodgy middleman. Xpezia handled everything remotely – formation, EIN, Mercury account, the lot. Took about five weeks start to finish. My Shopify store is now running on Stripe properly and I finally feel like I’m running a real business.
Honestly I was sceptical at first – there are so many people in Dubai offering these services and most of them just file the paperwork and go quiet. What was different here is that someone actually walked me through the compliance side too. BOI filing, the annual report, Form 5472 – I didn’t even know these existed before. My US entity has been running clean for over a year now.
Straight answers to the questions that come up most – before any commitment is made.
In the free consultation, Xpezia reviews your business model, identifies the right entity structure for your situation, and maps out the exact services and sequence you need – before you commit to anything. You leave with a clear plan, not a sales pitch. No commitment required, nothing to prepare in advance. If you have been putting this off because it felt too complicated or too expensive to start, this is the conversation that changes that.
