Choose the Right Business Structure

The first step in establishing your U.S. presence is choosing the appropriate business structure. Common options for foreign businesses include:

Corporation (C-Corp or S-Corp): Suitable for larger companies considering significant funding or planning to go public.
Limited Liability Company (LLC): Offers operational flexibility and protects personal assets, ideal for small to medium-sized enterprises.
Partnerships: Beneficial for businesses operated by multiple individuals or entities.

Each structure comes with its own tax implications, liability issues, and administrative requirements. Our experts at BTW will guide you through these options and help you select the best structure for your business goals.

Registration and Compliance

After deciding on your business structure, the next step is to register your business with the appropriate state and federal agencies. This process includes:

Obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS.
Registering for state and local taxes.
Acquiring necessary licenses and permits based on your business type and location.
