Finding a bank for your LLC's needs will largely depend on the specific requirements of your business, your location, and other factors. Here are some banks in the U.S. that are well-regarded for their business banking services.
1. **Chase Bank**: Chase offers a variety of business checking accounts and has a wide network of physical branches.
2. **Bank of America**: Known for its strong customer service and comprehensive business services, Bank of America offers several types of business checking and savings accounts.
3. **Wells Fargo**: Wells Fargo has a large network of branches and offers a wide range of services suitable for businesses of all sizes.
4. **U.S. Bank**: They offer a comprehensive suite of business banking products including checking accounts, merchant services, and business lending.
5. **PNC Bank**: PNC offers a variety of business services, including business checking and savings accounts, cash management, and payroll services.
Before making a decision, consider the following factors:
- **Fees**: Look for banks that offer low-fee or no-fee accounts.
- **Location**: If you need to visit a branch regularly, choose a bank with locations near you.
- **Online and Mobile Banking**: Look for banks that offer robust online and mobile banking platforms.
- **Customer Service**: Check customer reviews to gauge the bank's reputation for customer service.
- **Additional Services**: If you need services like payroll, merchant services, or business lending, find a bank that offers these.
Please note that the best bank for your LLC will depend on your specific needs and circumstances. It's always a good idea to research and compare several options before making a decision.
Remember 'banks' like WISE - you can create virtual bank accounts with them in many different countries. While WISE is not a bank they offer a lot of banking services.
Hi. Well from the information you have submitted it would be wise to consider a European Based bank that specialises in project funding etc. There are quite a few reputed ones that do international funding etc. The other option would be online banks, however there are many disadvantages of this system (Online Banks) such as reliability, compliance with local regulations etc. Would like to advise you further with after obtaining more specific information.

How do you get exposure on AngelList to attract angel investors?
What of the following things does your startup have? > Founders who have graduated from prestigious universities / previously exited companies to known acquirers / worked for a known companies (with known being a brand-name company such as Google, Amazon, Facebook etc) > Three or more months of statistically meaningful growth (e.g. for easy sake, double digit growth of a number in the thousands) > At least one investor who is active on AngelList (defined in the ideal state by at least one investment in a company who raised their round through AngelList and ideally whose social graph is connected to "high signal" members of the AngelList network) If you have none of these things, then at least, have advisors and referrers who have a strong AngelList profile. And another option is to seek out the AngelList scouts and pitch them directly. They are more open to this than anyone else and I've seen companies with very little traction and very little social proof get featured because a scout believes in the founder and/or the story. Without any or most of the above, it will be difficult to stand out or build relationships via AngelList, in my opinion. I assume now AngelList operates on a concept similar to the LinkedIn "degrees of connection" model, whereby an entrepreneur can now send unsolicited messages to investors so long as there is a degree of connection between the investor and the company. I get a few unsolicited emails a week from companies whose advisers or investors aren't people I follow but that because of the way they determine "connection strength", these unsolicited emails still gain my attention. I assume this is the case for all investors. So the more that you can build your list of advisers and referrers, the more connections you can solicit. That said, AngelList's inbound email system is almost entirely ineffective for "cold" emails to really high-profile investors. Happy to share with you what I think to be your best options for raising profile for your company.Tom WilliamsTW

What is a fair rate of return on a $70K investment?
An agency is an instant cashflow model business. Ugly to scale due to logistics of a team and the mess of being in a client-service business model. But easy to rapidly monetize. Make a phone call. Close a client. Collect the cash. (Yes, that's a bit over simplified). Your girlfriend shouldn't grab a dime from anyone before locking in her first client. An agency can be entirely self-funded and there's little reason to pursue funding. After she had generated her first $50,000 in clients (for example), she can supplement growth with debt financing. And, in no way, is the idea of your generous, retiring parents investing $70,000 into a first time business owner, when statistically most businesses fail ... a good idea. Fair rate is a flexible concept. If I was lending out $70k, I'd want to see 3x $210k back as a minimum. Irregardless of whether that is "fair"... it would be the minimum (for illustrative purposes) where the process of the due diligence and contracts and parting with $70k liquid in trade for a "maybe" $140k gain would be of interest.Rob TothRT

You usually only recognize the commissions as revenues and use the term "Gross Merchandise Value" (GMV) to describe the size of the marketplace (value of all transactions going through the site)Boris WertzBW
