Which location should you choose to establish your business in the United States?
Do you want to
do business in the United States? You are making the right choice! As an entrepreneur, you will benefit from the many advantages of Uncle Sam's country. A new question arises: in which state should you register your company? Be aware that not all states are equal!
The United States consists of 50 sovereign states. In other words, each of them has the power to make decisions concerning education, justice, and, of course, the economy. It is therefore important to learn about the specific features of each state.
Should you avoid states such as Nevada or Delaware?
Some states may seem more attractive than others. Moreover, as a non-resident of the United States, you may be tempted by Delaware or Nevada. Why? Well, because they are
tax havens. Taxation there is therefore particularly attractive. In addition, these states are not on the OECD blacklist.
Take Delaware as an example. This state does not require the beneficiary to be identified. Because anonymity is guaranteed, it is not uncommon for unscrupulous entrepreneurs to choose this location for tax evasion.
Good to know
Delaware attracts many entrepreneurs every year. However, other states are at least as attractive, whether for benefiting from a sustainable business activity or for enjoying an excellent reputation. Florida is one such state.
Starting a company in the United States: why choose Florida?
Starting your business in the USA can be done in many states. Florida is a location that offers numerous advantages. Like Delaware and Nevada, Florida is a state that offers highly attractive tax benefits.
Here are Florida's other advantages.
- Florida is internationally known and has an excellent image.
- Florida's thriving economy reassures customers and suppliers.
- You give your company a good image.
- There is no state income tax in Florida.
