Common questions

Clear before committed.

Can SRC Launch guarantee my company formation?

No. SRC Launch coordinates the journey and provider workflow, while government bodies and third parties make final decisions.

Does a US LLC mean I owe no US tax?

No universal tax conclusion is appropriate. Tax treatment depends on ownership, activity, residence, sourcing, elections, treaties, and other facts. Obtain qualified advice for your situation.

Is Stripe or banking guaranteed?

SRC Launch helps prepare company records, business information, website presence, and application-readiness materials. Final approval is made independently by each bank or payment platform under its current eligibility, risk, and compliance requirements.

Do I need a website before applying?

Requirements vary. A functioning public business presence can help providers understand and verify a business. Stripe publishes website-completeness guidance, while Mercury states that a website is not always mandatory but can help its review. Check current provider-specific guidance before applying.
