How big is your garage?

Last time I saw it didn’t have drywall or a door yet… [emoji23]

Yeah forget San Antonio, there's way too many Texans there.

St. Louis is pretty much right in the middle of the country. Just sayin’. And I have a ton of retail experience.

Bring it to Austin, Texas and I'll run it for 'ya.

How about Milwaukee ? Home of Harley-Davidson. Great retail spaces, and a warehouse district within a stone's throw of the Harley Museum. 90 minutes from Chicago/O'Hare. Sounds like a winner to me.

And it will have drywall and a door.

Eventually…

I need to set up a bank account in US.  I have a company and an EIN and all that.  I know that I will physically have to visit to actually open the account.  Does anyone know anyone at a bank that would be able to help me?  I wnt to fly in with all the paperwork and data I need, get it sorted and fly back out again.  Location is not particularly important.

It might be worth looking at Stripe Atlas, which is designed to make it easy to set up an online business. But I think that you're too far down the road for it.

Alternatively, Citi are a US bank with a presence in the UK. Maybe have a chat with them to see what they can do.

Does not work, I have to be in the US and open a US account there…....

While researching during my brief stint as an Amazon seller, I found that there are US banks that allow foreigners to open accounts without being physically present… I never delved too deep in to it, because I obviously have a US bank account, but it was interesting to see that it's possible for foreigners to do.

We have a good contact at Chase in Denver who Brandi just used to set up a business. Happy to connect you.

McLain that would be brilliant and "close" to the office…..

[Giles]

Thanks @Appfaff for your help with setting up a USA bank account.  I think I have it sorted.  Thanks also @mclaincausey for your offer of help too.

[Matty123]

This is all very exciting

[mclaincausey]

Of course @Giles – if things change we will gladly hook you up to our Chase contact.

[Appfaff]

Glad it worked out!

I've got a garage available and it's zoned for commercial use

If only you located this on the East Coast….

Bank account 100% sorted and we are able to deposit, just got to make sure we can withdraw

Next on the list is sorting out credit card processing, not having social security numbers is causing Braintree (who do our UK based credit card processing) to scratch their heads
