US Expansion Playbook: Choosing the Right US Entity
May 5, 2026Forvis Mazars, in collaboration with Nelson Mullins, invites you to a webinar focused on helping foreign companies navigate the primary legal and tax decisions involved in expanding into the United States. While entering the U.S. market presents significant opportunities, choosing an unsuitable legal or tax structure can create unnecessary risk and cost. This webinar will explore key considerations, including whether a non-U.S. entity can operate directly in the U.S., when incorporation is required, and how entity choice affects legal liability and U.S. tax treatment. Participants will gain practical insights to help ensure the legal framework aligns with business objectives from the start.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate whether and how a foreign entity (including German entities) can conduct business in the U.S. and identify common challenges of operating without a U.S. entity.
- Compare U.S. entity types and understand how incorporation decisions impact legal liability and operational flexibility.
- Distinguish between U.S. tax classifications for entities and assess how classification impacts federal and state tax obligations.
