US market entry & compliance
Enter the United States with the right entity, tax registrations, and privacy posture in place.
The US has no single national business registry or privacy law — rules are layered across federal and state levels. Most companies incorporate in Delaware (or their operating state) as an LLC or C-corp, obtain an EIN, and register in each state where they have people, offices, or economic “nexus”.
Since the Wayfair decision, sales-tax obligations can arise from sales volume alone, without a physical presence. Privacy is a patchwork: there is no federal GDPR-equivalent, but California (CCPA/CPRA) and a growing set of state laws impose disclosure, opt-out, and data-handling duties, with extra layers in regulated sectors.
- Recommend an entity type and state of formation for your model
- Map federal/state registrations, EIN, and sales-tax nexus
- Set a privacy baseline (CCPA and other state laws) and required disclosures
- Flag sector-specific licensing where relevant
- Entity & registration roadmap
- Sales-tax nexus assessment
- Privacy-policy and data-handling baseline
- Do I need a US entity to sell here?
- Not always for pure online sales, but a US entity is usually needed for payroll, banking, certain contracts, and to limit liability. We recommend based on your model.
- Which state should I incorporate in?
- Delaware is common for its predictable corporate law, but your operating state may be simpler and cheaper. It depends on where your people and customers are.
- Is there a US version of GDPR?
- No single federal law. California's CCPA/CPRA and other state laws apply based on where your users are and your data practices.
