ABOUT ABOUT

AVITUS are the 'One stop shop' for setting up a presence in the USA. This event looks at how to establish a business in the USA. The USA is a large, and highly competitive market.This can be daunting for many companies.  It is also a market than can make all the difference to a company future, when positioned in the USA for sustainable success.

Foreign busineses have been coming to American shores and having great success for a long time. They have been coming at an even higher rate in recent years. 

Here are five big reasons why companies have found success in the United States:

  1. Big, Attractive Marketplace

  2. Free Trade Agreements

  3. Highly Educated, Productive Workforce

  4. Abundant Natural Resources

  5. Entrepeneurship, Intellectual Property Protection

Who should attend? CEO's, International Sales, Marketing, Business Development professionals and exporters to the USA, who are seeking to go to the next level in the USA by establishing an investment presence. 

AVITUS Group

AVITUS can support those exporters  who wish to go to the next level and establish an investment presence in the USA. Such a move will allow the company to retain control of a greater slice of their margins, and be hands in guiding the direction of their USA sales strategy. Our support starts with Phase 1 -  helping to shape the entry strategy, market research, business planning, location advice, incorporation, tax planning, set up the bank account, visa and immigration support, and recruitment of USA professionals as required. Phase 2 could include taking care of the firm’s back office needs; finance, accounting, payroll administration, co - employment arrangements, tax, HR, benefits administration, benefits provision, risk and safety, IT, & branding to ensure the marketing fits with USA culture.   

The company is at liberty, to take all or some from this suite of services. Our price points are aimed to appeal very much to SME's. 

The UK and US share the world’s single largest foreign direct investment partnership with over $200bn of trade flows annually and the US is the No.1 destination for UK exporters with 4000 companies shipping goods and services last year. 

Most of the mainstream UK banks are either focused towards only the “large corporate” market or indeed not actually in the country in any meaningful way.
