Stripe Atlas
Incorporate your startup in Delaware and set up your legal and financial foundation quickly and affordably.
Overview
Stripe Atlas is a service designed to simplify the complex process of incorporating a startup in the United States, specifically in Delaware. It allows founders from anywhere in the world to establish a Delaware C Corporation or LLC, obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN), open a US business bank account, and gain immediate access to Stripe's payment processing platform. This comprehensive package aims to provide a solid legal and financial foundation for new businesses, enabling them to operate globally and attract investment. The service is particularly valuable for international founders who want to tap into the US market and its robust venture capital ecosystem without the traditional hurdles of navigating foreign legal systems. By bundling essential services, Stripe Atlas reduces the time, cost, and complexity associated with launching a legally compliant and financially operational US entity, allowing entrepreneurs to focus more on building their product and growing their business.
