However, it is important to be mindful of the regulatory environment when setting up a company in the United States.

Your U.S. advisors should be able to elaborate on many of the issues listed below. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2: IMMIGRATION Copy Link SECTION 1: Visa Overview Most foreign citizens need to obtain a visa in order to visit or work in the United States.

Below is a description of the visa types available for business and employment purposes. For information on the U.S. visa process, including updates to visa policy, please refer to the Department of State’s travel website. SECTION 2: U.S. Immigration Pathways: Which is Right for Your Investment Project?

Investors need to make sure that their employees have the correct U.S. visa(s) and an immigration advisor to ensure the visas are secured as seamlessly as possible.

INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 12.2 CHAPTER 13: U.S. CAPITAL MARKET STRUCTURE Copy Link Understanding the U.S. Capital Market Structure for Capital Raising Success The capital markets in the United States are the world’s largest which makes them very attractive for both domestic and international companies that want to grow and expand.

Since U.S. markets are so diverse, the range of capital providers is large and the competition for this capital is fierce.

This is intended to be a first-step resource for companies interested in making business investments in the United States. There are many factors to consider when investing in the United States, and we hope this guide will help answer at least a few of your initial questions on some of the most common topics we address in our day-to-day work at SelectUSA. To provide guidance on these topics, qualified service providers who regularly work with investors have drafted the following chapters of this guide. FULL INVESTOR GUIDE FULL INVESTOR GUIDE - SPANISH INVESTOR GUIDE: INDIVIDUAL CHAPTERS Click on the tabs below to view individual chapters of the full Investor Guide to explore specific topic areas quickly. Expand All CHAPTER 1: OVERALL INVESTMENT CHECKLIST Copy Link Key Considerations for Foreign Investors in the United States The United States business market is competitive. It generally allows for a relatively short period to establish new business operations. However, it is important to be mindful of the regulatory environment when setting up a company in the United States. This checklist is designed to provide an efficient and concise summary of the key issues and considerations when investing in the United States. Your U.S. advisors should be able to elaborate on many of the issues listed below. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 1 CHAPTER 2: IMMIGRATION Copy Link SECTION 1: Visa Overview Most foreign citizens need to obtain a visa in order to visit or work in the United States. The U.S. Department of State, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security, oversees the U.S. visa process. The purpose of your intended travel and other facts will determine what type of visa is required under U.S. immigration law. Below is a description of the visa types available for business and employment purposes. For information on the U.S. visa process, including updates to visa policy, please refer to the Department of State’s travel website. SECTION 2: U.S. Immigration Pathways: Which is Right for Your Investment Project? In an environment of fluid markets and changing policies, understanding the immigration options available to investors and their workforces is an essential – but sometimes overlooked – aspect of investing in the United States. Investors need to make sure that their employees have the correct U.S. visa(s) and an immigration advisor to ensure the visas are secured as seamlessly as possible. This chapter details the immigration options available to business investors and their prospective U.S. employees, including information on visa requirements, timeframes, and considerations for families. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 3: BUSINESS STRUCTURE Copy Link An Overview of Common Business Structures for Foreign Investors Choosing the right type of business structure is a critical first step for foreign persons planning to conduct business in the United States. There are several types of entities available, each with its own unique benefits and limitations. The “right” choice depends on a foreign person’s specific interests and needs. There is no “one -size fits -all” structure. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a high -level comparison of some common business structures used by foreign persons to conduct their U.S. operations and what impact that structure might have on the company’s business and financing opportunities. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 3 CHAPTER 4: TAXES Copy Link An Overview of Key U.S. Tax Considerations for Inbound Investment A s the world’s largest economy, the United States provides tremendous operating and investment opportunities, with an innovative and productive workforce, robust infrastructure, and lucrative markets. However, foreign businesses interested in investing in the United States can find it daunting to navigate the U.S. federal tax code and regulations, as well as state and local taxes. Inadequate preparation can create undue risk, result in increased and unanticipated tax costs, and ultimately impact the overall success of U.S. operations. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 4 CHAPTER 5: WORKFORCE Copy Link Creating Employment Success in the United States The key to any organization is people, and any company doing business in the United States will have to recruit, interview, hire, and manage a workforce. The process of hiring and managing a U.S.-based workforce may differ greatly from those practices customary in other countries. In the United States, employers are regulated by (1) federal laws that apply to all companies regardless of location; (2) state laws, for the individual state(s) where the employees are physically working; and, (3) local- or city-based ordinances in some larger cities. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 6: FDI RESTRICTIONS Copy Link Limitations on Foreign Investment into the United States The United States has consistently ranked as a top destination for foreign direct investment (FDI). The United States boasts a high Ease of Doing Business ranking, a population of over 325 million people, the world’s largest economy, and one of the best educated, most productive, and most innovative workforces in the world. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 6 CHAPTER 7: COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN THE U.S. (CFIUS) Copy Link Considerations for Foreign Direct Investment The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is an interagency committee that is authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States and certain real estate transactions by foreign persons, in order to determine the effect of such transactions on U.S. national security. CFIUS is exclusively focused on national security risk and takes action only when other provisions of law do not provide adequate authority to address the risk. CFIUS operates within the broader context of the U.S. open investment environment. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 7 CHAPTER 8: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Copy Link An Overview of Intellectual Property For Foreign Investors For foreign investors, like other business owners, the most valuable assets of a business are its Intellectual Property (IP). The heart of the IP are four categories of assets: trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets. Each of these assets is the basis upon which a business is built and thrives. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 8 CHAPTER 9: BANKING CHECKLIST Copy Link A Checklist for Foreign Companies Opening a Bank Account in the United States For a foreign company establishing business operations in the United States, is there a right way to open a bank account? Consider the what, why, when, where, and how. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 9 CHAPTER 10: SITE SELECTION IN THE U.S. Copy Link Site Selection in the U.S.: Key Variables, Processes, and Technologies Site selection is a process of identifying a state, region, and local community to locate a new corporate facility. When investing in the United States of America, private companies take responsibility for researching, analyzing, and selecting their locations. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 10 CHAPTER 11: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES Copy Link An Introduction to Incentives in the United States As businesses consider investing in the United States, there are many factors to assess when evaluating where to locate facilities and operations. Economic development incentives (also commonly referred to as business incentives) may be one of those factors because such incentives have the potential to provide financial support to minimize upfront costs and speed up the timeline to profitability. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 11 CHAPTER 12: FEDERAL PROCUREMENT PT. 1 Copy Link Federal Procurement: An overview of Federal Laws relating to Domestic Content Requirements for Government Procurement This chapter will provide readers with an overview of certain country of origin-related requirements used in U.S. federal procurement, including the Buy American Act (BAA), Trade Agreements Act (TAA), the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-58), and the Berry Amendment. We will also discuss practical tips for companies looking to sell products or services to the United States federal government. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 12.1 CHAPTER 12: FEDERAL PROCUREMENT PT. 2 Copy Link Federal Procurement: The Basics of Entering Federal Contracting in the United States Providing services to the federal government is no ordinary business. While the industry can be both rewarding and profitable, it does carry additional compliance requirements which should all be considered as part of the procurement process. Throughout this chapter, we’ll explore topics that should be top of mind for organizations that are looking to enter the federal space. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 12.2 CHAPTER 13: U.S. CAPITAL MARKET STRUCTURE Copy Link Understanding the U.S. Capital Market Structure for Capital Raising Success The capital markets in the United States are the world’s largest which makes them very attractive for both domestic and international companies that want to grow and expand. In addition to the public equity markets which represent approximately 55 percent of all global public equity markets, the United States has the most developed private capital markets for companies that are not yet ready to go public or who do not want to go public. Since U.S. markets are so diverse, the range of capital providers is large and the competition for this capital is fierce. This chapter will describe some of the institutional players in the U.S. market as well as give some tips for effectively raising capital given the analytical nature of the U.S. institutional investment decision making process. INVESTOR GUIDE CHAPTER 13 CHAPTER 14: PARTNERING WITH U.S. RESEARCH ORGS Copy Link Partnering with U.S. Research Organizations for SME Technology Firms the goal of this chapter is to guide small and medium-sized innovation-based foreign companies, including startups, interested in entering and scaling in the U.S. market by developing Research & Development (R&D) activities with a local research university or a federal agency. Innovation-based means a company with a strong competitive advantage based on its technology, innovation, patents, and usually with long sales cycles; a good example is in the life sciences industry. This chapter is designed to illustrate how U.S. universities and federal laboratories can be partners to collaborate with and can provide launch pads to test the U.S. market before any market entry decision/investment.
