Success Story: How Chillibreeze & C-Design 3x’d Their Clients After U.S. Incorporation
Real Indian companies. Real results. Real growth.
From Local to Global
India’s creative and digital talent is globally admired—but many Indian agencies hit a wall when targeting international clients. The reasons?
U.S. clients often hesitate to work with foreign entities due to payment complexity and legal trust.
International payment platforms like Stripe or PayPal limit access for non-U.S. businesses.
Conversion rates for outbound proposals remain low due to jurisdictional issues.
So, how are some Indian agencies breaking through? The answer: U.S. Incorporation.
By registering a U.S. entity, these companies unlocked credibility, compliance, and client confidence—tripling their lead conversions.
Meet the Agencies That Did It
Let’s look at two inspiring Indian design agencies that made the leap—and saw real growth:
1. Chillibreeze – Graphic Design Services at a Global Scale
Headquartered: Shillong, India | Clients: Global, Now Including Wyoming U.S.
Challenge: Chillibreeze offered high-quality design but struggled with U.S. client onboarding due to cross-border payment limitations and slower trust-building cycles.
Solution: Through U.S. company formation via Profilers, they were able to:
Get a verified U.S. business address.
Set up Stripe, PayPal, Mercury & many more with full functionality.
Provide contracts under U.S. law, giving peace of mind to clients.
Result: In 6 months post-incorporation, Chillibreeze onboarded 25 new U.S. retainer clients—each averaging $30,000/month.
Headquartered: Thrissur, Kerala | Clients: Global, Now Including Florida U.S.
C-Design started as a specialist drafting and architectural visualization studio in Kerala, but quickly evolved into a full-service design powerhouse—offering everything from interior and landscape designs to 2D/3D animation and creative visual content. Despite a strong portfolio and global delivery capabilities, one hurdle remained: U.S. market trust.
The Challenge
Although they had served over 1,000 clients worldwide, U.S. clients still hesitated. Concerns ranged from time zones to contractual reliability and data security—common barriers that many offshore firms face, regardless of talent.
C-Design had the skills, the structure, and the experience—but lacked local presence and legal clarity in the United States. Their goal wasn’t just to land occasional overseas clients. They wanted recurring partnerships and projects from within the U.S.—and to do that, they had to level the playing field.
The Turning Point
Through Profilers, C-Design officially registered their U.S. entity. That single strategic move flipped the script.
Perception Shift: Prospects stopped seeing them as a distant offshore team and started viewing them as a legitimate local vendor—complete with a U.S. address and EIN (Employer Identification Number).
Trust & Protection: They could now sign contracts under U.S. law, offer clear IP protections, and send invoices from a U.S. business account.
New Opportunities: Shortly after incorporation, they secured their first collaborative deal with a U.S.-based animation studio—a milestone that previously felt out of reach.
The Result
By the end of the next quarter, C-Design’s U.S. client acquisition rate had tripled.
The incorporation didn’t just open doors—it knocked down walls. With a legal entity in the U.S., they became more than just a creative design firm from India. They became a trusted, go-to partner for American agencies needing high-quality, scalable design support.
What Changed After U.S. Incorporation?
Here’s what Indian agencies gained by registering in the U.S.:
| Advantage | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Instant Credibility | A U.S. address and LLC status help build trust with U.S. clients. |
| Smooth Payment Setup | Stripe, PayPal, and Wise offer better integration post-registration. |
| Legal Protection | Work under U.S. laws, use standardized contracts, and secure your IP. |
| Better Conversions | Agencies report 2–3x more interest and quicker deal closures. |
