The trend of the recent years has been growing, and an increasing number of private and business companies are considering the possibility of investing in the US.
What are the reasons that push these investors overseas? 

Despite the recession of the most recent years, US economy surely remains strong. But the choice is also driven by other reasons.

Investing in the US has several benefits for foreign investors.

 

1 – GREAT EXPANSION POSSIBILITIES. The US has a huge and dynamic market. Investing in the US, hence, means interacting with a large number of potential customers. But the potential of this market goes far beyond American borders. In fact, the US has a number of Free Trade Agreements with many countries. They represent a major business partner globally, so investing in the US means to actually face a global market.
2 – NATIONAL LEGISLATION IS “BUSINESS-FRIENDLY.” In addition to encouraging and supporting local entrepreneurship, the US takes very favorable measures to encourage foreign investments. Facilitating investments in the US is the ultimate goal of Select USA. This is an initiative within the US Department of Commerce whose mission is to facilitate job-creating business investment into the United States and raise awareness of the critical role that foreign direct investment (FDI) plays in the US economy. On its website, you can find all the information about the programs and services available.
3 – LOW FISCAL PRESSURE. The tax burden is lighter than the Italian one, and the whole system is much more efficient also thanks to a leaner bureaucracy. Investing and starting-up are much less complicated than in Italy. The number of administrative requirements is lower, and timeframes are shorter. Hiring professionals with a deep knowledge of the market and its regulations is of primary importance to avoid mistakes.
4 – SKILLED LABOUR AND INFRASTRUCTURES. Investors will be able to rely on a skilled workforce. R&D are two areas where the US is at the forefront. Universities and colleges can train highly qualified professionals. All this, together with a well-developed infrastructure network (roads, railways, ports, airports), makes the picture even more promising.
