The US has the largest technical ecosystem in the world. Doing business in the US is different in every state. The laws and regulations differ, the conditions are different and the opportunities differ. And not unimportantly: there can also be strong cultural differences. 

Starting a company in the US is not as difficult and costly as it seems. Most transactions can be done over the Internet. First, the United States is the biggest economy on the globe. Secondly, everything associated to intellectual company in the U.S. (development, consulting, and marketing) is conventionally very costly, so many local businesses are searching for low priced and eminent CFO Service providers abroad. 

There are 4 legal forms of doing business in the United States, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, before starting to register a business abroad, it is necessary to apply for ITIN and to carefully study the features of each form and focus on the most suitable option for you. Single property is the simplest organizational form. To register, you will need to prepare a small set of documents and follow a minimum of formalities. This form is suitable for doing business in the service sector, including accounting, legal, medical and other fields. A significant disadvantage of sole proprietorship in the United States is that it is a complete financial liability, which also puts the business owner’s personal property at risk. In addition, banks are very careful when issuing SP-shaped loans for business development. Collaboration is a collective form of business management that consists of two subtypes:

General partnership - in this form all business owners assume full financial responsibility similar to sole proprietorship;

Limited liability partnership - this form provides for the liability of business entities only in the amount of their contribution to the general affairs, possible penalties and compensations can not affect their personal property. 

Many peer professionals, such as lawyers, auditors, and programmers, choose the form of partnership for their companies.

Corporation (corporation) - a universal form suitable for any type of activity. Significant shortcomings of the corporation are its excessive bureaucracy; a lot of paperwork needs to be prepared to register a company. It is advisable to seek the advice of an experienced professional to perform the process correctly. On the other hand, it is much easier for corporate owners to attract investors and raise funds to grow their businesses.
