Your Existing Spending Can Become Part of a Stronger Credit Profile

Marius Alexander Walter - Founder of GFS

You may already have monthly expenses.

Business expenses. Software. Ads. Travel. Contractors. Operations.

The question is not whether you should spend more money.

The question is whether your existing spending is helping you build a stronger financial profile over time.

With the right U.S. credit building strategy, responsible usage can help you build payment history, improve your profile, access better card options, and potentially unlock stronger financial opportunities like funding later.

But credit only works if it is used correctly.

This guide shows you what matters, what to avoid, and how non-US residents can approach U.S. credit building step by step.

Meet the Founder

Global Freedom Solutions was founded by Marius Walter, a former KPMG professional with a background in international structuring, advisory, and cross-border business setups.

After working in the field, he saw the same problem again and again:

International founders were running real businesses, spending serious money every month — but had no access to the financial tools U.S. entrepreneurs often use naturally.

Not through shortcuts.

Through the right structure, the right sequence, and a clear plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it even possible for a non-U.S. resident to get a U.S. credit card?

Yes—with the right structure and setup, this is possible even without U.S. residency and an SSN.

Do I have to live in the U.S. or travel there?

No. Most of our clients live outside the U.S. but still have access to the U.S. financial system, Tier 1 credit cards, and credit lines. There are even credit cards that can be applied for online. To open accounts at major banks like Chase, Bank of America, or Citi and apply for credit cards there, a short-term stay in the U.S. is required.

Do I already need a U.S. LLC or an existing structure?

No. Forming a U.S. LLC is not required. However, we recommend forming an LLC, as it will give you access to business credit cards.

How long will it take before I see results?

Initial progress can often be made quickly. However, a strong credit profile takes time to build (6–10 months). Many secure substantial funding as early as the first year.

Can I really get higher limits and financing?

Yes—that’s exactly what the U.S. credit system is known for. With the right structure, it opens up significantly better opportunities.

Does this work even if you don't have a credit history in the U.S.?

Yes. The structure is established from the very beginning and is developed in a systematic manner.

Can I also earn points and rewards with these credit cards?

Yes—and that’s exactly where the big advantage lies. Your spending can be specifically converted into points, flights, and other benefits. What’s more, the point multipliers are significantly higher compared to European credit cards. With some cards, you earn 3–5 times the points for every dollar you spend.

Is that legal?

Yes, it is completely legal for non-U.S. residents to access the U.S. financial system.

Who is this not suitable for?

For individuals who do not own a business and/or have low business and/or personal expenses.
