Nevada Corporate Planners

What Nevada Corporate Planners does

Nevada Corporate Planners, Inc. (NCP), founded in 1997 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a privately held U.S. expansion advisory firm operating under its consumer-facing brand "Verified Expansion." The company is led by CEO Scott Letourneau (28+ years of experience; Amazon Agency Partner; Main Street Certified Tax Advisor) and serves primarily non-U.S. e-commerce brands that want to enter or expand within U.S. marketplaces. Its service portfolio covers the full compliance stack for foreign-owned sellers: LLC and corporate formation across all 50 states, ongoing registered-agent and compliance support, marketplace-specific verification (Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, Shopify), U.S. operational-presence strategy including virtual address and KYC alignment, and tax posture advisory covering entity selection, Form 5472, Proforma 1120, sales tax, and transfer pricing. The company has served over 7,000 clients across roughly 29 years and claims more than 50 non-resident TikTok Shop applications reviewed since 2023.

NCP generates revenue through a layered model: a low-friction one-time entry product (Complete LLC Formation Package at a $395 base plus state fees), higher-value front-of-funnel advisory diagnostics (the CEO Blueprint — two consultation calls with the CEO plus a written strategic plan in three business days), and a growing back-end of recurring and project-based engagements (Marketplace Clearance Plan, Verified Path / Seller Verified / Verified Rescue for TikTok Shop, U.S. Operational Presence Strategy, ongoing renewals, and registered-agent services). The underlying technology is not a proprietary platform; it consists of documented methodologies (Clear-to-Submit™ review, the 27-Step U.S. Business Representative System), a vested partner bench (Riverbend Consulting for Amazon, Kohler Group's 300+ CPA/attorney network, and a constellation of minor-tier integration partners including Shopify, Scharf AI, Schwartz International, TM Express, Well Insurance, and Ecommerce Chris), and direct consultative delivery by a small (1–10 employee) internal team. Marketing and distribution combine CEO-led consultative sales with content-driven and community-led channels — SEO-optimized blog resources, free lead-magnet guides, social presence on Facebook/X/YouTube, and a referral network of professional advisors.

Direct peers

• Firstbase: Firstbase is a technology-enabled service that helps international founders form US entities (LLC/C-Corp), obtain EINs, and access US banking and tax compliance — directly mirroring NCP's core offering for non-US e-commerce brands. Both target foreign entrepreneurs needing US corporate infrastructure and ongoing compliance.
• doola: doola assists non-US founders in forming US LLCs/C-Corps, obtaining EINs, setting up US bank accounts, and handling 5472/state tax filings. Its positioning around cross-border founders and bundled tax compliance closely parallels NCP's Verified Expansion offering.
• MyUSACorporation: Long-standing US incorporation service focused on international clients needing LLC/Corporation formation, registered agent, and tax ID services. Directly comparable to NCP's core entity formation and RA offering for foreign-owned entities.
• Treaty: Treaty provides US LLC formation, registered agent, EIN, and compliance services specifically targeting non-US founders. Comparable niche specialization to NCP, though treaty tends to overlap with software-first / self-serve delivery.

Broad incumbents

• Incfile (now Bizee): One of the largest US LLC/Corporation formation providers with registered agent and compliance offerings. Broader incumbent serving the same formation + RA category as NCP but at significantly lower price points and without NCP's non-US specialization.
• Northwest Registered Agent: Large incumbent combining registered agent services with entity formation across all 50 states. Overlaps with NCP's registered agent and formation offering for a broad national customer base, though not specialized for non-US founders.
• LegalZoom: Public-market incumbent offering LLC/Corporation formation, registered agent, legal services, and tax filings. Touches on many of NCP's services but operates at vastly greater scale and is much more generalist in its international client support.
• ZenBusiness: Mainstream US LLC formation and compliance provider with registered agent, EIN, and ongoing compliance offerings. Comparable on formation/RA services but without NCP's focus on non-US e-commerce sellers and marketplace verification.
• Swyft Filings: Online incorporation service offering LLC/Corporation formation, registered agent, and compliance packages. Overlaps with NCP's entry-level formation + RA package but operates at a different (lower) price tier.

Emerging players

• Riverbend Consulting: Amazon-specific agency partner of NCP that handles Amazon seller account verification, reinstatement, and account management. Adjacent emerging player in the niche of marketplace-side compliance that NCP clients are commonly referred into.
