Question about doing business in the US
I'm starting to develop a website that will target the US. I am not a US citizen and I do not have a company in the US. I do have an investment account with Merrill Lynch (don't make fun of me) and in order to have it I have to sign documents stating that I do not do business in the US.
I just called the US embassy to get advice and they have no clue as they only promote US exports into the country I live in and not exports from the country I live in to the US. How can I sell ad space to American companies and keep things legit while looking like we're a US company? |

Even if your website targets the US ( as most do ...), you are not " doing business "in the US...

So as long as I have a server outside of the US and use non-US methods of payment, I'm good to roll?

As long as your ass is not in the USA.you are OK. Payment processor will need to be non-american, since you need a corp to use most US merchant account provider. Servers are not an issue in your case.

You could use www.ero-advertising.com to sell your adspaces in any country
![]() Where you are incorporated is not so important as long as your services & products are great. You don't need to "look" like a US company to get more sales IMHO |

I'm kind of curious why Merrill Lynch made you sign papers stating that you are not "doing business in the United States"? Also as mentioned, I don't think that doing business with Americans or American companies would be considered "doing business in the United States"... though you may want to speak with Merrill Lynch or preferably a lawyer just to make sure things are kosher.

I have no affiliation with Blue Design Studio. I, just like you, am a fan of their work and use them often.

I've been thinking about that, but I think that for this particular case it might be a slight advantage.

Have you tried calling your country's embassy to the US? Or commerce department? I expect they'd be interested in promoting exports to other countries.
