About this Webinar

Planning a US market entry? What to Do, When to Do It, and What Comes Next

Setting up a US entity is only one piece of the puzzle. A successful market entry requires legal, tax, operational, and hiring decisions to come together at the right time.

What needs to be addressed early? Which steps depend on each other? What can be prepared in parallel? And when should you start building your first US team?

GACC Midwest invites companies that are exploring, preparing for, or already beginning their US expansion to join this complimentary 60-minute webinar.

Using a practical market-entry timeline, Matthias Amberg of Rödl & Partner, Timo Rehbock of Barnes & Thornburg, and Nathalie Rusznyak of GACC Midwest will walk through the key stages of establishing a US presence and show how legal, tax, operational, and hiring considerations fit together.

Key topics include:

 

  • Entity setup and legal structure
  • Tax and operational requirements
  • Preparing for your first U.S. hires
  • Key dependencies, timing, and next steps


This session will give you a clear, high-level roadmap so you can better understand where your company is in the process, what needs attention now, and what should come next.

This webinar is intended for companies considering the US as a growth market, actively preparing to enter, or already putting initial structures in place.

In 60 minutes, you will leave with a clearer picture of the US market-entry process, a better understanding of how the major steps connect, and a practical sense of what belongs on your agenda next.

What participants will gain

  • Understand which steps in a U.S. market entry build on each other and which can be prepared in parallel
  • Put the key legal, tax, and workforce considerations into the context of the overall market-entry process
  • Identify common dependencies and potential delays early in the planning process
  • Better assess when to establish the operational foundation and begin building the first U.S. team
  • Walk away with a clearer roadmap for planning the next steps in your own U.S. expansion
