Why US Platforms Don't Work for Indian Founders Anymore
In 2022, RBI released comprehensive ODI regulations that fundamentally changed how Indian residents can invest in foreign entities. Atlas, Firstbase, Doola, and similar platforms simply weren’t designed with these requirements in mind.
Payment Violations
Under ODI 2022, even paying Atlas/Firstbase/Doola incorporation fees could be considered overseas direct investment requiring prior RBI approval.
US Platforms Reality
US platforms like Atlas, Firstbase, and Doola aren’t designed for Indian residents. They ignore Form ODI, APR/FLA reporting, and FEMA compliance requirements.
Complex Structuring
ODI regulations require specific corporate structures that differ significantly from standard US incorporation approaches used by these platforms.
Legal Counsel Required
RBI strongly recommends working with attorneys familiar with ODI regulations—something US-only platforms cannot provide.
Official RBI Guidance (2022)
"Complying with ODI regulations is complex and often requires a corporate structure that differs from the structure used in Atlas.
It's important to note that under the ODI regulations, even paying the fee to incorporate a US company could be considered an overseas direct investment."
"RBI Recommendation: "If you or one of your co-founders reside in India, we strongly encourage you to work with an attorney familiar with ODI regulations."
Real Founder Story
"We used Firstbase thinking it was the same as Atlas. Got an RBI notice 18 months later for non-compliant ODI structure.
Had to restructure everything, pay penalties, and nearly lost our Series A.
The legal fees alone were ₹25 lakhs. These platforms just don't understand Indian law."
— Seaml Fintech Founder, Mumbai

When you (Indian resident) invest money to start or buy a company abroad
Example:
You invest ₹50 lakhs to start a Delaware C-Corp in the US
Can't Invest Directly as Individual

LLP Required for Reinvestment
If your foreign company will reinvest back into India, you MUST use LLP structure (not Pvt Ltd) for ODI

Minimum Indian Holding
Your Indian entity must hold minimum 10% in the foreign company to qualify as ODI
FDI (Foreign Direct Investment)
What it means:
When your foreign company invests money back into India
Example:
Your US company invests $100K into your Indian subsidiary
30-Day Reporting Rule
Must file FC-GPR/FC-TRS within 30 days of investment - no exceptions

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About US Incorporation
Get answers to the most frequently asked questions about incorporating a US company from India.
How long does it take to set up a US company from India?
The entire process typically takes 3-4 weeks from start to finish. This includes company incorporation, EIN registration, opening your US bank account, and setting up payment gateways. Our streamlined process ensures minimal delays while ensuring full compliance with all legal requirements.
You’ll need to provide basic KYC documents such as your passport or government ID, proof of address, and simple business information. We’ve designed our process to require minimal paperwork while maintaining full compliance with regulations.
Do I need to travel to the USA to open a company?
No, our process is 100% online and can be completed entirely from India. You won’t need to travel to the United States at any point during the incorporation process. We handle all the paperwork and necessary filings remotely.
What are the tax implications for Indian residents?
As an Indian resident with a US company, you’ll be subject to tax considerations in both countries. The US-India tax treaty helps prevent double taxation. Your US company pays taxes on US-sourced income, while you may have reporting requirements in India. We recommend consulting with our tax experts for personalized advice.
Can I open a US bank account without visiting the US?
Yes, through our partnerships with US financial institutions, we can help you open a US business bank account remotely. This includes digital banking access, a US debit card, and the ability to make and receive payments in USD.
Will I be able to use Stripe and other payment processors?
Absolutely! One of the main benefits of having a US company is gaining access to payment processors like Stripe, PayPal, and Amazon Pay that have restrictions for Indian businesses. With your US entity, you can easily integrate these payment solutions.
