Overview

Creating a StartGlobal account is a quick, three-step process. You will select your business stage, answer a few questions about your goals, and then fill out your account details. Once complete, you will have immediate access to your dashboard.

Before You Begin

Before You Begin
  • Have a valid email address that you can access (you will need to verify it later).
  • Have a phone number where you can receive verification codes.
  • Decide whether you are forming a new LLC or managing an existing one.

Step 1: Choose Your Business Stage

  1. Navigate to the StartGlobal signup page.
  2. You will see the heading "Where are you in your business journey?" with two options:
    • "Just getting started" -- Select this if you need to form a new US LLC.
    • "I already have an LLC incorporated in the US" -- Select this if you have an existing company and need compliance or management services.
  3. Click the option that matches your situation.
Tip

Step 2: Answer the Questionnaire

  1. You will be presented with four questions about your business goals and needs.
  2. Select the answer that best fits your situation for each question.
  3. Progress through each question by clicking the next option.

Step 3: Create Your Account

  1. Fill in the following fields on the account creation form:

    Field What to Do
    First name Enter your legal first name (e.g., John).
    Last name Enter your legal last name (e.g., Doe).
    Email Enter your email address (e.g., john@example.com).
    Country Select your country of residence. This may be auto-detected based on your location.
    State Select your state or province, if applicable.
    Password Create a password that meets the requirements (see below).
    Phone Enter your phone number with country code.
  2. Password requirements

    As you type your password, a strength indicator will appear. Your password must be at least 8 characters and include an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, and a number.

  3. Email typo detection

    If you mistype a common email domain (e.g., "gmai.com" instead of "gmail.com"), the system will display a suggestion such as "Did you mean gmail.com?". Click the suggestion to correct it, or ignore it if your email is correct.

  4. Email validation

    Your email address will be checked to confirm it is a valid, deliverable address.

  5. Click the "GET STARTED" button (displayed with a right arrow on desktop).
  6. What you will see

    A success message: "Excellent! Your account has been created successfully." You will be redirected to your dashboard.

What Happens Next

  • You will receive a verification email. Follow the instructions to verify your email address. See How to Verify Your Email Address.
  • You may be prompted to verify your phone number. See How to Verify Your Phone Number.
  • Once verified, you can begin setting up your company or managing your existing LLC from the dashboard.
