US Expansion Partners

Expanding into the US market is a critical milestone for tech companies wanting to become the global leader in their category, but many make the costly mistake of hiring a senior executive to lead their #usexpansion efforts. Despite the temptation to bring on experienced US executives, their skill set often misaligns with the entrepreneurial demands of launching in a new market, potentially setting companies back months or years in their expansion efforts.

When expanding to the US, creating a Delaware C Corporation is often one of the first steps foreign companies take. But does it provide an edge with US investors or customers? Not quite. US venture capital investors typically prefer investing in your parent company, while US customers require a fully operational US corporation to transact seamlessly. This means establishing a comprehensive US presence—beyond just forming a Delaware entity. From obtaining an EIN and setting up a US office to meeting tax and regulatory requirements, success in the US market demands thorough preparation.
