Comprehensive package of servicesRunning your US office.
Office services as and when you need them. Warehousing and logistics available. ExportAction can do almost everything in the US that you do for yourself in the UK. We don't do product design, advanced technical support, or manufacture (although we do light assembly, configuration, and software installation). Help is in our DNA. |
Address, telephone, fax
Address with mail processing and unscheduled visitor hosting. Have important and urgent incoming mail scanned and emailed to you on the day it arrives in your US office.
Telephone answering and messaging - your own number professionally answered in a US time-zone and using your US company name. Remember, most telephones in the US cannot call outside the +1 international code area - they can only call ten digit numbers.
Fax forwarding (fax is still much more widely used in the US).

Company set-up
Beware expensive attorneys and online incorporation firms with hidden extras.
ExportAction will arrange company incorporation with full documentation including: Articles of Organization filed with the state, available company name search, Certificate from the Department of State, dates for tax filings, instructions for Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), Employer Identification Number (EIN), Operating Agreement draft showing percentage of Members’ ownership, voting rights and responsibilities, power and duties of Members and Managers, distribution of profits and losses, holding of meetings, buyout and sell-out rules for transferring interest when members choose, or in the event of a death.
ExportAction will act as your Registered Agent (comparable to Registered Office in UK). A company cannot be its own Registered Agent, which must be open and staffed during normal business hours.
Also provided is a help-desk to assist with US legal and financial processes.
Inter-company transfer-pricing agreement template for your UK and US companies for optimum tax flexibility and efficiency.

Professional services
ExportAction does not accept introductory commissions or incentives from third party suppliers. We always act in what we believe to be the best interests of our clients.
Appointment of firm of business attorneys experienced in assisting UK companies trading in the US. The worst time to look for an attorney is when you need one!
Appointment of firm of Certified Public Accountants experienced in assisting UK companies trading in the US and ensuring tax and statutory returns are filed on time to avoid expensive fines, helping with tax planning and profit repatriation to the UK (if that is what you want).
Introduction to commercial insurance broker(s). Insurance for the US purchased in the UK is frequently considerably more expensive than similar policies taken in the US. Explanations are UK insurers are unfamiliar with US markets, or are cautious about litigation costs in the US. Our recommendation is to get “benchmark” quotes from Hiscox (using the US web site) and The Hartford. Then, when you have decided upon the cover you want, get a quote from a US broker who will be able to advise you and “shop around” for the best cover and rates.
Introduction to recruitment agency(ies).
Introduction to reputable visa application company. Beware charlatans! Visa work seems to attract them.
