Why Starting a Business in the U.S. is a Smart Move

Starting a business in the U.S. boosts credibility and unlocks global opportunities. I’m sharing all my experiences with you!

Starting a company in the United States is a significant step for any entrepreneur looking to expand their reach and establish a presence in one of the world’s largest markets. Having gone through this process with Vedego Media Inc., I can confidently say that the benefits far outweigh the challenges. Here’s what I’ve learned from my journey, along with some tips and advantages of incorporating in the U.S.

Choosing the Right State Matters

One of the first decisions you’ll face is choosing the state where you’ll incorporate your business. This is a crucial decision that depends on your business model and long-term plans. Since I plan to live in the U.S., I chose to incorporate my company in the state where I intend to reside. This approach simplifies tax and operational matters, aligning my personal and professional life seamlessly.

If you plan to operate your business remotely without moving to the U.S., states like Delaware, Wyoming, or Nevada are popular choices. For example, Delaware is well-known for its business-friendly environment, low incorporation costs, and robust legal protections. Wyoming offers privacy advantages and no corporate income tax. The key is to evaluate what works best for your specific business and future goals.

Proximity to the U.S. Market and Building Trust

One of the most notable advantages I’ve experienced with Vedego Media Inc. is having direct access to the U.S. market. Being a U.S.-based company with an American phone number and address builds trust and credibility with clients. For businesses selling digital products or services, this is particularly important.

Yes, you can sell to U.S. customers with a European company, but having a U.S. company comes with these key benefits:

• Transactions in U.S. dollars, reducing exchange rate complications

• A local presence that builds trust with American customers

• Faster and more cost-effective payment processing options

• Easier access to U.S.-based partnerships and opportunities

After establishing Vedego Media Inc., I noticed a significant improvement in how American clients perceived my business. This made client communication smoother and opened doors to opportunities I couldn’t access as easily before.

Future-Proofing Your Plans to Live in the U.S.

If you’ve ever dreamed of living and working in the U.S., starting a business there can be an excellent first step. Owning a company in the U.S. can play a crucial role in visa and residency processes, making it easier to transition if and when you decide to move. While this may not be an immediate goal, incorporating now can position you for future success and flexibility.

Why the U.S. is a Great Start for Global Growth

Incorporating in the U.S. is not just about tapping into the local market—it’s about global positioning. A U.S. company has a level of prestige and accessibility that resonates worldwide. The infrastructure, financial systems, and customer trust that come with being based in the U.S. make it a powerful launchpad for scaling your business internationally.

How I Started My Company in the U.S.

When I decided to start my company in the U.S., I knew that setting it up correctly was crucial. While it’s possible to handle the process on your own, I didn’t want to risk making mistakes in such an important step. That’s why I partnered with GrapeLaw, and they professionally managed the entire incorporation process for Vedego Media Inc.. Their expertise made everything smooth and stress-free, and I’m truly grateful for their support.

For me, the journey of starting Vedego Media Inc. has been transformative. The proximity to American customers, the credibility of being a U.S.-based company, and the long-term strategic advantages make this a decision I would recommend to any entrepreneur. Whether you sell digital products or plan to enter other industries, incorporating in the U.S. is a step worth considering.
