Complying with employment laws in the US can be challenging and daunting. There are varying state and local regulations which you need to comply with to ensure you are not leaving your organisation at risk. To navigate this complex landscape, many recruitment agencies enlist an Employer of Record (EOR), like Agile Partnering, to ensure compliance with employment laws for their contract workforce.
There are significant cost implications for setting up an office in the US. These include expenses for office space, furniture, equipment, utilities, insurance, and any necessary renovations. There is also a time cost with arranging visas for your employees who will be relocating to the US. You will need to engage with immigration lawyers and experts to ensure that you comply with the relevant legislation.
Understanding the difference between federal and state taxes is important when operating in the US. You must comply with tax regulations to avoid significant penalties. When dealing with international taxes, it's also very important to use billing strategies that balance revenue between entities based on where services are provided.
Managing ongoing payroll demands and having enough cash flow to cover expenses can hinder growth. It is essential to carefully manage cash flow, which includes optimizing payment terms with clients and exploring financing options to bridge the gaps between payroll demands and receivables.
Avoiding legal, tax, regulatory, or compliance issues at the start is important when setting up your company.
