Pre-Deployment Checklist

Essential steps before wiring capital to the US.

  • Entity Formation: Establish the offshore HoldCo and US Blocker Corporation.
  • Tax ID: Apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for the US entity.
  • Banking: Open US-based corporate bank accounts (which can take 4-6 weeks for foreign beneficial owners).
  • Shariah Review: Obtain preliminary fatwa or Shariah board approval for the proposed capital stack.
