Taking Your Business to America
We call "Going to America" the process of transplanting and establishing one's business stateside, and of transferring the people who will head it. Ferman Law has been advising businesses and entrepreneurs on "Going to America" for nearly 30 years.
Setting up a business in the United States is not an easy task. Researching the American market, establishing a stateside presence, adapting to American business practices, obtaining the necessary licenses and permits and navigating through its legal framework, are essential to the success of the business.
As American lawyers practicing in Britain, Ferman Law can provide insights which a British solicitor or a U.S.-based business lawyer cannot offer. You can rely on our attorneys for practical help in drafting insurance and distribution contracts, forming and running the company, and resolving tax and legal issues.
We can help you:
- Set up a U.S. branch, subsidiary or office
- Enter into an agency or distribution agreement with a U.S. distributor of your product
- Advise you on the appropriate type of legal entity for your venture, whether a corporation, limited liability company (LLC), limited liability partnership (LLP), or sole proprietorship
- Prepare employment contracts for your staff
- Negotiate commercial property leases
- Open a U.S. bank account
- Deal with licensing and compliance issues, which differ dramatically from those in the UK
- Advise you on incentive schemes offered by various U.S. states to foreign investors
- Provide practical advice that makes real business sense
- Obtain visas and coordinate business, commercial and tax strategies with current emigration requirements
