LANDED books all spaces, supplies, and services before our companies’ arrival in the US. Until we received your payment, we cannot secure the necessary resources.

As a part of the LANDED program, it is strongly encouraged that you have a US company registration prior to your arrival. This will give you access to banking, healthcare, and other professional services. Please do this as early as possible.

While there are many services that can help you file your company registration, we typically recommend Stripe or doola for founders looking to register as a Delaware C-corp. You do not need to be a US citizen or physically in the US to register for a Delaware C-corp.

Please get in touch with our team or consult your legal professional for additional info on company registration if you are unsure.

There are many options when it comes to your visa. The most typical path we seen most founders take is:

• Phase I: Apply for a B-1 business visitor visa to explore business opportunities. The wait for this can be long, please apply early.

• Phase II and III: Given your US business activities, you are likely eligible for an E-1 or E-2 visa.

While this is the most typical path based on our experience, it is not the only path. For more visa assistance, please consult our partner OpenSphere or your visa professional.

Cash flow is the lifeline of a startup. To be able to make or receive payments in the US, you will need a bank account in the US. To open your company account, you need to have completed your US company registration.

There are many banks that offer banking services to startups, most popular ones being Brex, Mercury, Ramp and Rho. Please explore your options before signing up.

You will need a place to live while you are in New York City. It is fairly standard to be asked to provide one (or two, at most) month's rent plus the security deposit (typically equaling one month's rent).

If you are asked to provide additional months in advance you should consider if that arrangement is in your best interest.

Broker’s fees are paid by the landlord in NYC, it is illegal for the broker to charge the tenant if the tenant did not hire the broker.

All tenants have the right to protect themselves through a written contract. If your potential landlord insists on not having a binding contract, find a new rental.

If you are unsure, get in touch with our team and we would be happy to help you.

Most people use the subway system to get around in NYC and most founders will not need a car.
