Describe your situation
Tell us where you live, where your clients are, your payment needs and your setup budget. Do not submit client contracts or identity documents.
Reality check for solo businesses
Incorporation is easy. Getting paid is hard.
Your client needs an acceptable invoice. You need a payment route you can actually use. Byrvia helps you investigate company setup options against your clients, tax residence, banking needs and budget—before you buy a formation package.
The diagnostic compares five researched company options. It cannot confirm whether your client or a bank will accept you, and it does not yet assess every country in the directory.
YOUR PREFLIGHT / PREVIEWClient invoice → payment route
Questions to verify · source-linked options · costs with scope
Input → Analysis → Output
A shortlist is a starting point. The checks are the product.
Find what must be true before you commit to a company or service provider.
Compare the researched routes
The free diagnostic scores five company options and explains cautions. The wider directory shows additional sourced routes without suggesting they have been scored for you.
Know what to verify next
Read the evidence and ask your client, payment provider and qualified adviser the questions that could change the decision. An approval remains theirs to give.
For a real client-payment obstacle
Need a closer look at your invoice and payment options?
Request a founder-prepared pilot preflight: a source-linked comparison of plausible routes, scoped setup fees and a question sheet for your client, provider and adviser. We confirm the scope before accepting a paid request.
$39 pilot price · per brief
Research and questions, not legal advice or a bank approval.

The directory is broader than the diagnostic. Each published route describes its sources and limitations; filing fees are not full operating costs.
Fees below cover named filings only. Total costs and tax outcomes depend on your circumstances.
