▸ About this service

What is employment routes in the US?

Employment routes is one of 6 parts of our “Immigration & Relocation” practice. It covers the full cycle from initial scoping to operational launch, run by a single named partner from our the United States desk.

What it is in the US: skilled worker · intra-company transfer. BOI reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act, effective 26.03.2025, is mandatory only for foreign entities registered in the US; US-domestic companies are exempt. You need an EIN before opening an account — don't leave it to the last minute.

▸ In detail

How we handle employment routes

The “Employment routes” project in the US is structured as a 4-stage process run by a single named partner.

Entrepreneur visas, employment passes, investor residency — sequenced with the corporate setup so neither blocks the other.

The same desk that runs employment routes handles your banking, bookkeeping, compliance and — where needed — your wind-down.INNOVA · Operating model

Why the United States

The largest market, deep capital, a choice of state (Delaware, Wyoming, Florida), and a straightforward registration process. We use it for operating companies, reaching US investors, and structures built for venture funding.

01 · Advantage

A reliable regulatory environment

BOI reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act, effective 26.03.2025, is mandatory only for foreign entities registered in the US; US-domestic companies are exempt. You need an EIN before opening an account — don't leave it to the last minute.
02 · Advantage

Banking ecosystem

A multi-tier system: Mercury / Brex for technology companies, Tier-1 (JPM, BofA, WF) for established businesses. We know which route is realistic for your profile.
03 · Advantage

Corporate tax 21% federal + state taxes

The real tax position depends on the structure — we model it before registration.

03

Regulator-grade documentation

Every output document is ready for audit and investor scrutiny — whatever the size of the deal.

04

Multi-jurisdiction within the group

Cross-border work is handled inside the group — no chain of external subcontractors.

Four ways to work together

We don't quote a fixed price without understanding your situation — cost depends on the complexity of your case. Start with a free call, then we pick the right format.

▸ About cost We don't work at dumping rates and we don't publish a fixed price list — every project is scoped individually. The exact price is quoted after the intro call, usually within 24 hours.
▸ Questionnaire

Fill in the questionnaire

Complete the online questionnaire: it creates your account on the portal, where your structure, renewal reminders and documents will live.

▸ INNOVA portal · what you get

Once you submit the questionnaire we create a portal account. Inside: your live structure, a renewals calendar (annual returns, register updates, tax filings), a document vault (certificates, share register, bank letters), a partner chat and project status. A single place for your entire operational life.

▸ FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions we're asked most often. If yours isn't here, an intro call is the fastest way to get an answer.

Most “Employment routes” projects in the United States run from 2 to 8 weeks start to finish. The fastest stage is document filing; the longest is post-registration onboarding (banking, tax registration). A single named partner runs the project throughout.
