As a Business Formation, Compliance, and International Sourcing Consultant, I have helped entrepreneurs, startups, e-commerce sellers, investors, and international business owners establish, manage, and dissolve business entities across multiple jurisdictions. My experience covers the complete business lifecycle, from company registration and tax setup to compliance management and company dissolution. I specialize in US LLC formation services, assisting clients with company registration in states such as New Mexico and Wyoming. My services include preparing and filing formation documents, obtaining EINs, providing guidance on federal tax requirements, supporting annual compliance obligations, and assisting with LLC dissolution and closure procedures when businesses cease operations. I have worked with both US residents and non-resident entrepreneurs seeking to establish compliant and tax-efficient business structures. In addition to US business services, I help clients establish companies in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Lithuania. My work includes company incorporation, tax registration, VAT-related guidance, business structure consultation, and assistance with banking and payment solution requirements. I guide clients through regulatory processes and documentation requirements, ensuring their businesses are properly registered and positioned for international operations. I have extensive experience handling company dissolution and termination projects for US LLCs and UK LTD companies. This includes preparing dissolution filings, coordinating state or registry submissions, advising on compliance obligations, and helping clients close their businesses correctly to avoid future penalties, reporting requirements, or unnecessary fees. Beyond company formation and compliance services, I provide supplier sourcing and business research solutions across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the GCC region. I help businesses identify verified manufacturers, wholesalers,
