When the Czech Republic is small: What do companies most often deal with when expanding to the USA?

Why stay only in Czechia when the whole world is waiting? Expansion into the US market is a logical step for Czech technology companies to grow. The US offers a huge potential - venture capital, a wide market, and consumers who (as they say) have a soft spot for Czech software.

But beware, entering the US market is not just about setting up a company. It has legal, tax, and cultural specifics. 💡 It's about having a strategy that helps you break through, while protecting you from making rash decisions.

What does expansion into the US entail? 🚀

Crossing the Atlantic with your business means more than just opening a new branch. Czech startups and tech companies are mainly concerned with:

• Which legal structure to choose and what are the associated tax obligations?
• What obligations does the company have as an employer?
• How to negotiate with investors?
• How to set up contract documentation for the global market?

And then, of course, there are the immigration matters. Are you planning to move to the US as a founder? That also comes with a hefty dose of bureaucracy to handle.

What do our clients ask us most often?

Companies heading overseas reach out to us about how to start. These are the challenges we solve most often (and can help with 💪):

• How to set up a company in the USA and what is needed for it?
• How to flip a Czech company to the USA? What does it actually involve?
• How to negotiate an investment into a US entity?
• How to handle the relocation of the founders to the US from the perspective of immigration law?
• How to set up contract documentation that will hold up in the global market?
• What about contract revisions under US law?
• And of course - how to set up Terms of Service and Data Protection for your application?

We often handle contract documentation for global markets. But because the American legal system has its additional specifics, we have teamed up with a strong partner in San Francisco who will cover everything we can't reach from the Czech Republic 👇.

Milo Poplar is a Czech and American startup lawyer, Of Counsel in our firm, and founder of Fellow, a law firm that helps founders and investors expand into the US market.

Expansion requires strategic partners

The American legal system is no walk in the park. It is governed not only by federal regulations but also by state laws. Navigating it isn't easy - but you don't have to do it alone. We'll handle everything simply and in your language. 👌
