About USG.

We help entrepreneurs from high-barrier countries start and run businesses in Asia. Not just paperwork – the whole process: registration, banking, compliance, and solving the problems that come after.

Our story

We exist because nobody else would help

USG was born out of necessity. Our founder Roman holds a Russian passport. After 2022, that passport made it nearly impossible to run an international business – not because the business was problematic, but because of where the passport was from. Every corporate service provider said the same thing: “We’ll register your company, but figure out banking yourself.”

Roman solved his own problem by testing more than 50 banks and fintech platforms. Then he helped a few founders facing the same barriers. Then the word spread: this is the company that can get the bank account open and keep payments and compliance running – even when your passport is the problem.

Most corporate service providers in Hong Kong and Singapore serve clients who need standard setup – Western passports, clean corporate histories. Our clients have none of that. And that’s exactly why we exist.

The team

Meet the team

Practitioners, not intermediaries. We’re a team of partners who’ve built our own companies in different countries – we’re not a law firm, we do it ourselves and for our clients.

Between us: offices opened, export deals run, teams hired, operations scaled, money moved across borders – and plenty of things fixed after they went wrong.
