How Sunpact Global has helped companies save money, stay compliant, and scale confidently.
A Bangalore-based SaaS company needed to incorporate in the US to raise funding from Silicon Valley investors. They needed a C-Corp, EINs, ITINs for all three founders, and a US bank account — none of which they had navigated before.
A small retail business owner came to us with two years of uncategorised bank transactions, no reconciliations, and two overdue federal tax returns. Within 60 days we had clean books and filed both returns — with zero penalties.
As a consulting firm grew from one to four US states, managing payroll tax registrations, filings, and compliance in each state became overwhelming. Sunpact took over entirely — with zero missed filings across all states.
A direct-to-consumer brand needed board-ready financial models, clean historical accounts, and a compelling financial narrative for their seed raise. Our fractional CFO team built the full package in 3 weeks.

ITIN Services
An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a 9-digit tax processing number issued by the IRS to individuals who need a US taxpayer ID but are not eligible for a Social Security Number. You need one if you are a foreign national with US-source income, a foreign partner in a US LLC or partnership, a shareholder of a US corporation, or if you need to claim US-India tax treaty benefits.
No — not if you use an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent like Sunpact Global. As a CAA, we are authorised to verify your original identity documents locally and certify them to the IRS. Your passport never needs to leave your hands or be mailed anywhere.
The IRS typically takes 7–11 weeks to process an ITIN application once submitted. Processing times can be longer during peak tax season (January–April). We track every application and keep you updated throughout the process.
Yes. We handle ITIN applications for multiple individuals simultaneously — whether that's two founders or ten foreign partners. Each application is tracked separately, and we manage the full process for everyone in one engagement.
US Company Formation
An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is your US company's federal tax identification number — similar to a company PAN in India. You need it to open a US business bank account, hire employees, and file US tax returns. We register it directly with the IRS on your behalf.
Yes. The entire company formation process — entity filing, EIN registration, ITIN applications, and operating agreement preparation — can be completed remotely. We guide you through US bank account setup, which can often also be done remotely depending on the bank.
Delaware is the most popular choice for startups and businesses planning to raise venture capital, as it offers strong legal protections and a well-established corporate law framework. Wyoming is a cost-effective option for LLCs with strong privacy protections. We assess your specific situation and recommend the right state based on your goals during a free consultation.
Tax Filing & Compliance
Yes, in most cases. US LLCs with foreign owners are required to file Form 1065 (partnership return) or Form 1120 (corporation return) with the IRS. Foreign owners must also file individual returns or withholding forms. We handle all filings for Indian-owned US entities as part of our tax services.
The US-India income tax treaty prevents the same income from being taxed twice — once in each country. It provides reduced withholding tax rates on dividends, interest, and royalties, and may allow certain income categories to be taxed only in one country. Our team analyses your situation and identifies all applicable treaty benefits.
