When an international company is expanding to the US there are core legal services they need – contracts, immigration, and intellectual property protections, to name a few. Our legal partners are responsive, fairly priced and willing to help the guppies as well as the big fish.

Tax and Accounting Partners

Proper tax advice before expanding to the US is critical for an international company learning the mysterious ways of the IRS and state tax regulations. We always recommend our clients take tax advice before US expansion. Beyond tax consultation, most of our partners are able to fulfill accounting and tax preparation services for our clients across the US.

Recruiting Partners

Competition among recruiting firms can be fierce. We help our clients find the best and most appropriate recruiting partners whether that’s international, specialist or executive. We have a consistent need for experts who fill sales, upper management, and research positions in specialist industries such as life science, technology, and marketing services.

Funding Partners

Some clients come to us with private equity or VC financing in hand; others are looking for partners. At Foothold America we have a vested interest in our clients being properly funded to be successful in the US – that’s why we want to connect them with you, most often for their Series A or B funding between $1M-$20M. If this is your sweet spot, contact us.

Banking and Foreign Exchange Partners

Companies expanding to the US won’t get very far without a US bank account or a way to move money in multiple currencies quickly and inexpensively. Foothold America has strong partnerships with a core group of providers who can serve the multiple banking and foreign exchange needs of our clients, treating them with the attention and support they deserve.

Insurance Partners

Understanding the insurance market in the US can be tricky for those unfamiliar with the States. We seek insurance providers licensed throughout the country in general liability, workers compensation, employee benefits, D&O, and other business policies. The language of insurance varies across the world, so our partners explain the details for our mutual clients.

Government Partners

Our government partners clearly present their remits so we can steer the right candidates to you for support.

OUR TESTIMONIALS

Don’t just take our word for it…

Foothold was able to get things done for us very quickly. They made life easier for us and worked with us to make sure staff were looked after and that we were able to get up and running.

Operation Manager, Network Security Company

Foothold America was instrumental in helping my UK company employ field applications sales people in the US without having to set up a US subsidiary, which is the usual route for foreign companies. Foothold America facilitated this by employing the people we had chosen and handling all the employment, terms, salaries, taxes, social costs etc. They then billed us monthly for these costs plus a reasonable service charge. As a result, we were able get going very quickly with our own people in the USA and at a much lower cost base.

Managing Director, UK Biotech Company

We needed to access the US market to maximize our potential for growth. We selected our employee and Foothold America managed the payroll, benefits, taxes and other employee logistics, enabling us to avoid dealing with the bureaucratic maze of employing someone in the US.
