We deal with highly motivated business owners who have made the decision to increase their market share in the United States before they walk through our door. Most businesses have already "tested the water" by making sales in the United States market. On several occasions, the response of the United States market to an international product or service has been so overwhelming that the business has difficulty filling product orders. We virtually never have to convince an international businessman or woman to form a Washington company — that decision was made before the company representative walked through the door.
Prudent formation of a subsidiary company in the United States involves securing professional advice from a US corporate lawyer, your Chartered Accountant, a Certified Public Accountant and immigration lawyer. Thereafter, United States service providers, such as banks, warehousemen, customs brokers, etc., may be required, depending upon the company's distribution and marketing plan. We work with and know the "service providers" who will serve your business best. Although the international business owner's first telephone call is generally to the lawyer, we encourage our international clients to meet with accounting and immigration professionals prior to finalizing the United States business structure. A corporation or other business entity can best be formed after the resolution of immigration and accounting issues. We often attend a client's initial meeting with accounting and immigration professionals to ensure that the legal entity of the business established meets tax and immigration requirements.
