Is it easier to do consulting work for American companies if I, a Canadian citizen, incorporate my company in the US?
Dear Emily,
Although you could provide consulting services to US companies using a Canadian entity, I have encountered many cases where Canadian consultants where asked by their US clients to provide them with an easier way to pay (to a US based bank account). In some cases US clients would ask them to form a US based company, with which they would be doing business.
I would suggest you to inquire your potential US clients if they would mind working with a Canadian company and making payments to a Canadian-based bank, or they would rather have you form a US entity. Keep in mind that you would probably need to make a trip across the border to open a bank account for your US company, as banks in the US require physical presence of ?° company representative, with a few documents such as a photo ID, proof of address, etc.
The instrument presented was either declined by the processor or bank, or it can't be used for this payment.
Try again later.
(a) You made a typo in the card number, CCV code, expiration date, name or address;
(b) Your card balance is too low;
(c) Issuing bank has declined this transaction for some other reason related to your account.
