Expanding Business Operations into the United States

One important consideration when moving a business into the US is choosing the right legal entity structure for its US operations. Arbitrarily choosing a legal entity structure could result in significant tax implications that may be avoided with good decisions in the early stages.

Another key element when moving a business into the US is where to establish branch offices and subsidiaries. A knowledgeable advisor can help companies take advantage of federal, state, and local tax incentives, depending on the type of business.

Companies should also plan for employment as early as possible. To avoid potential legal problems, offer letters, severance agreements, and employment contracts should be prepared by attorneys with experience in employment law matters.
