What should you consider before forming a US business?

Whether you plan to sell into the US from Denmark or Europe, or establish a physical presence there, there is a lot to weigh before incorporating. The United States is not one country for corporate and contract law purposes — it is 50 states and territories, each with its own rules and processes. This can look complicated from the outside, but with the right guidance it does not need to be expensive or time-consuming.

Who manages the formation process?

Rosenfalck & Thorup's Danish-American lawyers have more than 20 years of experience assisting Danish and other European companies and entrepreneurs with US company formation, including the legal set-up and the ongoing compliance filings that follow it.

What does full-process assistance include?

  • Initial advice on whether and when it is relevant to establish a US company at all.
  • Selecting the right state of incorporation — for example Delaware, a common choice, versus a state where the business will actually have an office, shop, or warehouse.
  • Preparing all necessary company documents and overseeing the incorporation process from start to finish.
  • Determining whether the newly formed company must also register in additional states beyond its state of incorporation.
