I am Looking for informed, practical guidance Facts (bullet-proofing my situation): - Owner/Residency: I’m an individual non-US person residing in a non-treaty country. - Entity: US single-member LLC (Wyoming). Disregarded by default. - Business model: Amazon FBA (US marketplace) selling physical goods to US customers. Inventory will be stored in Amazon’s US fulfillment centers (multi-state). - Operations: Product design/supplier relationships, listing management, ad spend decisions, etc. are done outside the US. No US employees/contractors. No US office. Questions I’d love expert input on: - ECI determination: With inventory in US FBA warehouses and sales to US customers, is ECI basically a given for a foreign individual running FBA, even if all managerial functions happen offshore? - Best company structure : - 1) Stay SMLLC (disregarded) - 2) Partnership (add spouse or foreign company) - 3) C-corp election

Has anyone heard of a person going back to Mercury, or Relayfi or Bluevine and getting approved for a totally different LLC?
