America Is Open for Business
Why the U.S. Still Welcomes Foreign Entrepreneurs, Investors, and Companies—If You Know How to Knock
Here’s the truth: America remains one of the most welcoming countries in the world for business. Especially for foreign businesses that are ready to invest, grow, and hire U.S. workers. If your company wants access to the world’s largest consumer market, the U.S. is not only open—it’s encouraging you to take the leap. Yes, America is open for business.
The U.S. Is Pro-Business—Especially U.S. Business
Let’s bust a myth right away: the U.S. is not anti-immigrant. It is pro-U.S. business.
One of the most effective ways for a foreign company to align with American interests is to establish a U.S. entity—a corporation or LLC—and create American jobs. Do that, and you’ll find the path much smoother than expected.
In fact, there are dedicated visa categories designed for foreign companies to expand into the United States and transfer essential personnel. These include:
- L-1A & L-1B visas: For executives, managers, and specialists transferring from an overseas office
- E-2 investor visas: For nationals of treaty countries making a substantial investment in a U.S. business
- O-1 visas: For individuals with extraordinary ability or expertise in their field
- EB-1C immigrant visas: For multinational managers seeking permanent residence
At Ortega-Medina & Associates, we guide foreign business owners through every step—from setting up the U.S. business structure to securing the appropriate immigration visas.
