For any cross-border business, the current tariff talk coming out of the United States is presenting new challenges. But, as a trusted specialist in borderless business, we have some ideas, and solutions, to help make operating globally less complex and more cost effective, even when U.S. tariffs are imposed.ย ย This time, we want to tell you…
Why form a U.S. entity?
Even before the tariffs became a consideration, there are plenty of good reasons for global businesses to form their own U.S. entity. One of the most attractive of these reasons is how much simpler it is for you to get paid in U.S. dollars, without the usual cross-border issues that can occur.
But thereโs also the added trust and credibility you can establish with clients, platforms and financial institutionsโnot just in the U.S. but worldwide. In fact, some clients may even require you to have a U.S. entity, and so setting one up could be a way to unlock new opportunities.
