Global Solo
If you're not American but run a US company from abroad, the confusing part is never one single rule — it's not knowing which of a dozen small paperwork gaps could quietly turn into a real problem, and this tells you which ones apply to you, for free.

Description
Running a US LLC from another country involves a scattered set of rules — banking, tax residency, entity structure, documentation — and most solo founders only learn where they went wrong after something breaks, like a frozen payment account or a missed filing. Global Solo was built by someone who nearly had their own payments frozen and wanted a way to see that kind of risk coming instead of discovering it after the fact.
The core product is a free diagnostic: a 7-question Risk Check gives an instant snapshot with no account needed, and a deeper Free Diagnostic runs through 45 signals across four dimensions — Money, Entity, Tax, and Accountability — producing a visual Risk Ledger with an advisor-ready PDF export. Alongside the diagnostics, the site includes comparisons of 43+ vendors (formation services, banking, employer-of-record, tax prep, payment processors) and 24 country-specific playbooks (India, China, UK, Canada, Nigeria, Brazil, and others), plus 116+ educational guides. Both diagnostic tools are explicitly free with no subscription or upsell.
💬 Our review
The short version: if you're a non-US founder running a US LLC and have never had someone map out your specific cross-border risk in one place, the free 45-signal Diagnostic is worth 10 minutes even if you never use anything else on the site.
Compared to hiring an accountant or lawyer for a one-off risk review (accurate but costly, often $200+/hour), or piecing together answers from scattered blog posts and forum threads (free but unreliable and not tailored to your situation), Global Solo's Diagnostic gives a structured, personalized snapshot for nothing — the tradeoff being it's a screening tool, not a substitute for an actual accountant or lawyer once a real issue surfaces. Its vendor comparisons are also useful groundwork before picking a formation or banking provider, though as with any comparison site, cross-check anything commission-driven against independent reviews before committing.
