Foreign citizens who are legally present in the states have the same rights when registering a company as Americans. Immigrants can open their own enterprise, buy or sell a business.
Non-residents also have the right to manage an organization in the United States from abroad through an officially registered agent, as well as buy shares or hold the position of a remote director of a company without opening an entry permit. However, to manage an enterprise in the states, a foreigner must obtain a business visa. This document gives the right to official employment in their own organization.
All entrepreneurs who plan to open a business in the United States must meet certain eligibility criteria. Thus, there are internal requirements regarding the conduct of business in the institution, as well as external factors that affect taxation and communication with government agencies. The specifics of paying fees and reporting are regulated by the laws of a particular state. Mandatory requirements for all US entrepreneurs are obtaining a license and medical insurance for employees. A corresponding permit is provided for each area of activity. For example, restaurateurs need a health and safety certificate, producers/sellers of alcohol – a sales license, and so on.
