U.S. Setup & Expansion

The right entity, the right registrations, the bank account, and a finance function built correctly from the first day.

The problem

Most Italian companies enter the U.S. the same way: an incorporation service files an entity, and a local bookkeeper is hired later. The entity gets created without anyone weighing the tax consequences, the banking turns out to be the real bottleneck, and the finance function is assembled piece by piece after problems appear. Decisions made casually at the start become expensive to unwind a year or two in.

How we approach it

We treat setup as the foundation of everything that follows, because it is. We advise on the entity choice with the tax consequences and the parent's reporting needs in view, handle the federal and state registrations, support the bank-account process that trips up so many foreign-owned companies, and put a finance function in place that fits the business from day one. You start clean, which is far cheaper than fixing it later.

What this includes

In practice

An Italian founder was entering the U.S. for the first time. Rather than an incorporation service plus a bookkeeper, we advised on the entity, handled the registrations, supported the banking, and set up a finance function that fit the business, so it began operating on a deliberate footing.

Common questions

Can't an incorporation service just set up the company?

It can file the paperwork, but it will not weigh whether the entity fits your tax situation or your parent's reporting needs, and it disappears once the certificate is issued. Setup decisions have lasting tax consequences, which is why a CPA should be involved at the start.

We keep struggling to open a U.S. bank account. Can you help?

Yes. Banking is one of the most common bottlenecks for foreign-owned companies, and we support the process so it does not stall your launch.

Which state should we incorporate in?

It depends on where you will actually operate and sell. We advise on the choice rather than defaulting to a popular state that may not suit you, and we coordinate with your commercialista on the Italian side of the structure.
