Expanding into the United States is a major growth opportunity for ambitious businesses, but the process is often far more complex than many founders expect. This seminar will provide a practical and candid look at what it really takes to establish and grow a business in the US, addressing the common misconceptions, legal considerations, and strategic challenges that can impact a successful market entry.

Our Managing Partner, Paul Samartin, will explore the key routes available to international businesses and entrepreneurs, including E-registration requirements, the distinction between trader and investor pathways, and the E-2 Treaty Investor visa as a mechanism for founders looking to expand internationally. Attendees will gain insight into the legal, operational, and commercial factors that should be considered before entering the US market, as well as the common pitfalls that can delay growth or create unnecessary costs.

Drawing on real-world experience of advising businesses on cross-border expansion, this session will equip founders, business owners, and senior decision-makers with a clearer understanding of how to structure their expansion plans, navigate regulatory requirements, and make informed decisions when pursuing international growth. Delegates will leave with practical guidance and actionable insights to help turn US expansion ambitions into a successful reality.
