Doing Business in the U.S.
Your Business. A New Market. An Experienced Guide.
Establish, relocate and grow your business in the United States.
The United States offers tremendous opportunities for ambitious entrepreneurs. But knowing where to begin—and whom to trust—can be challenging.
Where should you locate? How should you structure the business? What immigration options might support your plans? How do you recruit employees, establish banking relationships and identify potential funding?
JPF Venture Group helps international business owners turn these questions into a practical plan. Whether you are opening your first U.S. office, bringing an established business into the American market or relocating with your family, we help you connect the commercial decisions with the professional support needed to move forward.
Guidance Grounded In Personal Experience
“When I came to the United States, I wish I had someone to guide me through the decisions, introductions and unfamiliar requirements involved in building a business here. It would have made the process considerably easier. That experience is at the heart of the support we want to offer other entrepreneurs.”
Jeremy P. Feakins, Founder, JPF Venture Group
British-born entrepreneur Jeremy Feakins brings more than 40 years of experience founding, financing, operating and advising businesses in the United States and United Kingdom. His perspective comes from making these decisions himself—and understanding that a successful move requires both a sound business strategy and attention to the people behind it.
How We Can Help
Plan your entry into the U.S. market
We help assess your commercial opportunity, define your target customers, evaluate competition and develop a realistic launch plan. Together, we establish priorities, budgets and milestones, with a clear focus on winning customers and building a sustainable business.
Coordinate immigration and business planning
Your business plans and personal relocation plans need to work together. We help coordinate with qualified U.S. immigration counsel to explore relevant business and investor visa options, understand their implications and prepare the business plans and financial projections that counsel identifies as necessary. Immigration advice, eligibility assessments and applications are handled by licensed immigration professionals.
Choose your location and establish your business
The right location depends on your customers, workforce, operating costs and growth objectives. We help compare locations and coordinate introductions to economic development organizations and appropriate advisers for company formation, banking, premises, insurance and operational requirements.
Address legal, tax and accounting needs
Cross-border ownership and operations require careful planning. We help coordinate qualified legal and tax advisers to address business structure, contracts, accounting, payroll and applicable federal, state and local obligations—so these decisions support your wider business objectives.
Build your U.S. team
We help define the leadership, staffing and external support your business needs, from initial hires to a broader operating team. Support can include recruitment planning, introductions to staffing and payroll providers, and fractional executive leadership while your U.S. operation takes shape.
Identify financing and economic development opportunities
We help assess your funding requirements and investigate potential private financing and local, state and federal programs. Depending on eligibility, these may include loans, loan guarantees, targeted grants, workforce training assistance and location-based incentives.
We also help develop business plans, financial projections and investor materials, and coordinate discussions with appropriate lenders, professional advisers and economic development agencies. Program availability depends on factors such as ownership, industry, location, job creation and intended use of funds.
Move from establishment to growth
Setting up the business is only the beginning. We can continue supporting customer development, strategic partnerships, commercialization and management decisions as your U.S. presence grows.
One coordinated plan with experienced support
We begin by understanding your business, your ambitions and your proposed timetable. From there, we define a focused advisory engagement, identify the specialists you need and help coordinate the next steps. You gain an experienced business adviser who can help you see how the decisions fit together and maintain momentum from planning through implementation.
