US Tax Filing is now open! 
In 2025, business is no longer just digital; it’s also borderless. More than ever, entrepreneurs are abandoning traditional business practices and office leases in favor of remote-first, digitally incorporated, globally compliant means of running a business. This is not a momentary blip; it’s the new global baseline.
Whether you’re building a SaaS startup in Southeast Asia, managing and scaling a consultancy in Europe, or launching an eCommerce brand in Africa, the systems and regulations now allow us to be global businesses while remaining compliant locally, faster and smarter than ever before.
This post explores how remote first businesses are being formed, structured, and scaled in 2025, and why making a decision around the model of incorporation is more important than ever.
Why “Remote-First” Is the New Normal
It’s fair to say the pandemic accelerated the remote revolution; however, in 2025, it is far beyond working from home. In 2025, it’s about creating a company without borders.
Remote-first companies:
Hire talent around the world without overhead of an office Service clients/customers in multiple time zones.
Choose the best jurisdiction for tax efficiencies when incorporating
Utilize digital infrastructure for banking, payroll & compliance
The trend data coming out of 2025 shows that already over 58% of newly registered businesses have been structured without a fixed location; below this threshold: parents know from experience. But now the founders are turning to digital calendars and global travel.

Incorporation is Strategic, Not Just Legal
In 2025, your choice of where to incorporate is of even broader importance beyond legality itself, it will also affect your access to payment systems, taxation, fundraising capabilities, and perceptions worldwide.
Here’s what digital entrepreneurs weigh before registering a business.
- Tax structure: Is it territorial taxation? Are there exemptions for foreign income?
- Ease of formation: Am I able to register 100% online? Can non-residents register?Payment structures: will I be able to use Stripe, PayPal, Wise, and have a multi-currency bank account?
- Compliance burden: Is it manageable to do the annual filings, bookkeeping, or audit obligations?
- Startup ecosystem: Can I access grants, VC funding, or support locally?

2025 Is Here! FinCEN BOI & KYC 2.0
One major compliance update we should all keep on our radar in 2025 is the implementation of Beneficial Ownership Information or BOI reporting, announced by FinCEN in the U.S. which will directly affect every remote founder.
All forms of entities formed in the U.S. (LLCs and Corps) will now have to disclose:
- Ultimate beneficial owners
- Control persons
- Ownership percentages
Non-filing or improperly filing states penalties up to $500/day plus or potential criminal charges. Countries across the world are moving forward with an increased focus on transparency and aligning anti-money-laundering compliance to this new global framework, including but not limited to the EU, UAE, Singapore and many others.
Pro-tip: You may automate BOI filings using incorporation services designed with compliance dashboards.

Remote Compliance: More Than Just Annual Reports
If you are a remote business owner, the key to finding compliance efficiencies could be compliance automation.
In addition to the more traditional compliance services provided, recent platforms now provide:
- Automatic filings for annual reports with registered agents
- Digital bookkeeping with multi1currency functionality AI-driven tax estimates
- Tracking for cross-border VAT/GST
- Automatic reminders and renewals for registered agent
Instead of hiring teams, and keeping track of multiple spreadsheets or manually doing complicated cross-border tax combinations, founders will plug-in to a one-stop-shop solutions for transaction & tax reporting, EIN/ITIN acquisition to foreign entity tax reporting.
Summary:
EINs, itins, and Banking Without Borders In order to scale globally you will need access to business banking, payment processors and credit lines and it all starts with the right identification numbers.
EIN (Employer Identification Number): You need this for U.S. LLCs and bank setup.
ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number): You may need this for foreign individuals receiving U.S. income.
LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) new ID needed for cross-border payments for business in Europe and Asia.
In 2025, most of these ID’s can be obtained 100% online via agents instead of waiting weeks of bureaucracy to obtain most of these permits, certifications, and identification numbers. For example instead of waiting 45 days I can obtain an EIN in 48 hours or less with expedited EIN services.
