Through step-by-step instructions provided by B&K, nominees (you) will be assisting with the business bank account setup, providing signatures & documents for merchant account applications & associated paperwork, and completing the occasional confirmation text/call.

Simply stated, it is mutually beneficial for all parties involved. Our international clients are not capable of setting up their own merchant account in the USA since they are not residents.

• Referral Bonus- anyone personally receiving $600 or more in a calendar year will receive a 1099.

All tax forms are completed by our CPA and digitally sent. Please let us know immediately if your address has changed or if you need a physical copy mailed to the address on file.

Potentially, the merchant account application can temporarily lower your credit score. Like any credit check, it usually has minimal impact, approximately 5-10 points if your credit is viewed through a “hard pull.” If your credit score is viewed through a “soft pull,” your credit score will not be impacted.

Business financials are required when applying for a merchant account. Since each LLC is newly formed for the nominee, there are no sales or financials to submit. Therefore, a credit check is done in place of the business financials to verify you are financially dependable and you do not have a history of fraud.
