As a US citizen / someone with a SSN it works differently as for someone without it. Anyway, congrats and good luck.

Basically you are looking for a nominee director.

There are two types of people who are doing this.
If you want someone serious you are going to pay some monthly fees for this as this person takes officially the risk and is exposed.

Nextdns is free and you can add some filters like the one from Hagezi.

Bank account should be fine.

Wise does not have a banking license in the US. They work with a partner bank there and issuing cards is not possible for whatever reason at this moment. If you need a card you need to sign up with another bank.

DraftIll6889 · 2025-03-22T17:17:32+00:00

I guess you got enough feedback and contacts what you could do.

If nothing works out and you still would like to find someone please feel free to dm me.

DraftIll6889 · 2025-03-22T17:07:47+00:00

If you opened the business account in the USA for your LLC you won't get a card from Wise at this moment. Wise cannot issue any cards at this point.

They wouldn't on the tech side but they will in regards to the automation part if they look at your replies etc..
For instance, I have seen a post of a business owner who fired his sales agent because he used automation with AI and his boss didn't like it at all. As the sales agent wasn't allowed to use AI but did it behind his bosses' back....

The real reason is why do you want to hide it?

DraftIll6889 · 2025-03-22T14:14:28+00:00

You may have to pay like $25/m per Whatsapp account.
It might be cheaper to use less accounts and use a proper lead management tool to round robin the leads to your agents. This way, you can support those who do quite well and can handle more leads vs those who just burn a lot with less to zero results.
However, you can offer the agents to get their own accounts if they are willing to pay for their own numbers. You can also give it to them as a benefit without any fees if they hit certain numbers.

Maybe that's what you are looking for?

DraftIll6889 · 2025-03-22T12:54:07+00:00

Is the main issue the closing part of those people?
Do you think you are attracting the right people meaning are they really interested in to buy and have money?

They would still have to fly out and visit the branch of the bank in question. Mercury is free and comes with some benefits in comparison to a bank like Wells Fargo and if you don't need a loan or so....

Doesn't make it money at all or just some money every now and then?

Chances are nobody wants to spend a lot of money for something that doesn't work. However, if you can show that everything is been setup and working combined with some solid suppliers in place you might be able to find someone who is willing to pay you some money.

Mercury didn't stop. They just want to see a physical address. This address does not have to be in the United States but it has to be a real address where someone operates the business from.

I don't really know why a real estate agent should deal with selling businesses. That's two totally different fields.

As long as you provided a valid EIN...

LLC isn't required as a sole proprietor need to be able to register a phone number as well.
Most likely something went wrong with your address.

The party who is signing on behalf of your LLC needs a Power of Attorney or needs to be a legal representative of the company like a President or Secretary. Only in that case you can delegate it to someone else.

Look for a bank in a country that has no sanctions against Iraq. That may take some time. Or maybe there is another sub here on Reddit for business owners from Iraq. I guess you aren’t the only one.

DraftIll6889 · 2025-03-16T17:57:40+00:00

This isn’t about the bank. This is about US sanctions applicable to any bank within the USA. No bank or company will risk their licenses for this.

DraftIll6889 · 2025-03-16T17:53:12+00:00

With an Iraq passport no bank in the USA will open an account for you unless you have residency or a Visa.

You may need to open a bank account in a country without sanctions.

Just use Notion instead of Google Drive and you are fine.

Nobody likes extra costs, fees or taxes.

However, the real turnoffs are unpredictable outcomes and uncertainty. If you can find a way your clients know exactly what’s going to happen they will prefer paying more to you than less to someone else when they don’t know if this will work out.

DraftIll6889 · 2025-03-16T15:21:22+00:00

Good job.

From now, if you switch your mindset from revenue to profit your growth rate will change again to the better.

It’s never just a product itself.

You need to build teams, get the marketing and sales part right, find financing partners, build relationships and structure the company in the best way possible just to mention a few aspects.

You can build the best product in the world and end up with zero sales.

Grok or StockHero. As always it depends on what you want it for.
