Why the USA?
It’s easy to understand why the USA is an attractive market for companies looking to invest overseas. Firstly, it represents 25% of all global economic activity and is home to one in four of the world’s top 500 companies. Plus, it offers a reliable and consistent long-term record of economic growth, giving companies that are considering establishing themselves in the USA the confidence they need to expand their businesses.
However, the size and scale of the USA can also represent significant challenges to businesses that are planning to expand into the world’s biggest economy. The federal system in the USA means that legal requirements vary from state to state, and maintaining compliance can be a real challenge to someone entering the market for the first time.
Given the sheer number of local service providers, sometimes it can be difficult to know who to trust, which is even more important when considering the amount of litigation which occurs in the USA.
