North America is an economically developed region that attracts investors from all over the world with its flexible approach to business organization, existing incentives for start-ups and competitive conditions for scaling your own business. The most promising countries for buying or registering a company from scratch are the USA and Canada.

Forms of legal entities

When buying a ready-made company, opening a branch or creating a business from scratch, you will need to choose one of the following forms:

Limited Liability Company (LLC) — the simplest, yet the most demanded variant of a legal entity, which does not imply personal responsibility of the owners for the firm’s assets. Beneficiaries cannot alienate the shares of the company, but must be guided by the terms of the founding documents.

Corporation — a complex form of doing business, which provides for the need for mandatory registration, contribution of authorized capital, as well as constant support of business activities. This organization is usually used to attract outside investment, and shares can be sold and alienated.

Branch — a format of a foreign legal entity that already has its main registration in another country and plans to carry out similar activities in the selected state.

Representative — a form of legal entity that does not imply independent entrepreneurial activity. The established company will be engaged only in promoting the services/goods of the main company in the local market.

Each of the selected forms of legal entity may differ, depending on the local legislation and peculiarities of the jurisdiction. Alt-industry specialists will help to understand the intricacies of company registration and choose the best option, depending on the priorities and objectives of the client.
