Knowing your business is the key to our success
Our Attorneys communicate directly with executives and senior-level managers
to understand your company’s expansion goals. We typically have several
in-depth consultations and meetings in order to outline the next steps.
For any business, there are a multitude of critical considerations when planning an
international expansion. At D&A, we provide a full- service for our clients
seeking to expand operations into the United States. From complex corporate
structuring and global tax
planning to handling all business visa matters, our turn-key solutions
permit the client to continue to focus on the most important aspects of their
business.
Most of our Agriculture and Commodities clients leverage their successful and
cost-effective overseas operations in order to take full- advantage of a steady
United States market demand and branch existing operations strategically into U.S.
soil.
We have successfully supported these expansion initiatives by establishing a
strategic business presence in the United States for our clients:
-
Sales & Marketing Office. Many of our overseas clients
seek to grow aspects of their overseas production and commodities businesses
by establishing a dedicated U.S. sales & marketing office space. Such
efforts typically involve procuring a strategic lease- space, hiring 2+
employees, and transferring key personnel from the overseas entity.
-
Distribution Operations. A strong consumer marketplace in
the United States for finished goods has led many of our clients to pursue
expansion efforts into the United States distribution business. Leveraging
overseas costs for goods and labor, our clients vertically integrate
operations by forming corporate relationships between a newly formed U.S.
and their Foreign Entity. These efforts typically require negotiating a
leasehold, formalizing buyer/seller and distribution agreements, training
U.S. based employees, and careful global tax planning.
-
Logistics & Warehousing.
Some clients choose to establish U.S. businesses for logistics and
distribution, as doing so can be a strategic way to build and grow
international trading. In addition to helping clients address administrative
matters related to employment law, licensing and insurance, Davies &
Associates also helps with corporate accounting solutions.

Registered Agent Services.
When you establish a business in the United States, you must appoint a registered
agent. This applies to both Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and corporations.
Your registered agent is the first point of contact in the event someone intends to
take legal action against your business.
When you choose Davies & Associates as your registered agent with a registered
address in the U.S. state of your choice, you can have peace of mind knowing that if
someone intends to file a lawsuit against your company, it will be addressed
promptly and appropriately.
With our team receiving and forwarding mail on your
behalf, we are able to deal with legal matters as soon as they arise. This is
especially useful for foreign-owned businesses where the owner lives overseas, or
where the owner lives in the United States and needs to remain compliant with their
visa requirements
Incorporation Services
Incorporating a business entity correctly is crucial for any U.S.-based business, but
it is especially important for businesses tied to a business owner’s visa. Your
Davies & Associates business law attorney can help you avoid many potential pitfalls
related to share issuance, voting rights and board member/officer appointments.
We can also prepare the required state filings, draft operating and shareholder
agreements, and ensure corporate books, records, and other required documentation is
complete and in place. Ultimately, this should help ensure your company remains in
compliance with statutory requirements and reduce the risk of potential immigration
issues related to the business.
