Every founder we spoke to in Bangalore, Lagos, London, and Istanbul told us the same thing: they’d set up a Delaware or Wyoming LLC on day one, and then flinched every spring when “that 5472 thing” came around.
The existing options were:
- Pay a Big-4 adjacent accountant $800+ for a form that is, in most years, essentially identical to last year’s.
- Use a generic bookkeeping tool, hope it covers 5472 (it rarely does), and cross your fingers.
- Do it yourself and misplace a check-box in a 60-page IRS instruction set that quietly costs $25,000.
BorderFile is the fourth option: a focused service, run by Enrolled Agents and CPAs, that files one thing really well.
We’re starting with the standalone Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120. From there we’re building out the full annual calendar: Form 7004 extensions, Delaware tax, 1099-NEC, registered-agent renewals, and home-country filings through partner CAs.
