Monezzi University.
The course your government did not teach you.

If you are reading this, you are probably running a business from outside the United States. Or you want to. The mechanics of forming a US company, opening a US bank account, accepting payments worldwide, staying compliant with the IRS, and even moving to the US through a business visa are not taught in any school. They are not in your accountant's playbook. Most local advisors do not know how this works.

This is the course. Forty-three short lectures, taught by founders who run real US businesses from outside the country every day. In four languages. Free.
