You put a lot of time and effort into deciding to expand your business into the U.S. market. Just as all that due diligence is vital for ensuring your success, so is having the right expansion partner to guide you through that process.

Too often, foreign businesses encounter one surprise after another as they navigate setting up their business in the States. The more you’re caught off guard, the longer your expansion takes, and the more you risk getting hit with penalties for non-compliance. 

At Hiline, we help small businesses like yours transition from international startups to U.S. market players as smoothly as possible. To that end, we’ve built a dedicated expansion team to support you as you navigate the complexities of U.S. taxes, accounting, and payroll.

Let’s look at how you can make your expansion a breeze with Hiline as your partner.

Where Hiline helps your U.S. expansion

At Hiline, our dedicated U.S. expansion team is committed to being by your side at every stage of your journey to set up your U.K. business stateside. From formally establishing your business to planning your financial future, we guide you through the expansion process with ease.

1. Enter the U.S. market

We assist you in setting up your Employer Identification Number (EIN) so you can start getting your tax liabilities and payroll in order. We’ll also perform a tax nexus analysis to determine if you meet the threshold of being required to collect sales tax.

2. Navigate compliance and regulatory spaces

No matter your business model, we ensure you’re compliant with all federal, state, and local tax requirements—and educate you on the various taxation differences that you’ll need to be aware of. We’ll also ensure you’re set up to meet and follow employment and payroll regulations. 

From there, we help you obtain any licenses your business requires and monitor compliance regulations and your financial activities to maintain compliance. 

3. Plan and manage your finances

As your expansion partner, your future success is just as important to us as it is to you. 

We work with you to create a custom chart of accounts for your U.S. operations. We’ll include multi-year budget projections, offer cash flow management strategies, and deliver real-time financial data so you always have the up-to-date insights you need to make sound decisions for your business growth.

4. Support your payroll and HR needs

With 50 states and a federal level’s worth of regulations to account for, we make sure your hiring processes are compliant with all employment laws and directives. Once you have people to pay, we get you set up with efficient payroll processing and U.S.-specific HR management.

5. Advise on growth strategies 

Your company’s growth doesn’t end with your initial U.S. expansion. You’ll need materials to support future endeavors.

We take care of board meeting preparation and long-term financial planning services. Using the real-time financial tracking capabilities from our partner Digits, we make sure you’re on the right track to reach future business goals.

While you may think that any old accounting team can handle all this, a few things set Hiline apart as your best bet for supporting your U.S. business expansion journey.
