International Business Seminar – ‘Unlocking US Business Opportunities’

2nd June 2023

Are you considering expanding your business to the US market? If so, we have an exciting seminar that you don’t want to miss!

Join Moore Kingston Smith at their office near Liverpool Street station on Wednesday 28 June, for a comprehensive business seminar on successfully navigating the US market.

When a business is ready to focus on the next stage of its growth plan, it instinctively looks at the US, the world’s largest market.

However, starting a business in a new country comes with a set of challenges. Your business must comply with the local legal and tax obligations and pass immigration requirements.

At this seminar, our specialists will talk through the key points for successful expansion into the US, such as the establishment of a local subsidiary and visa strategies. Areas that will be covered include:

Trading with the US v. trading in the US
Choice of business/entity in the US and structure
Avoiding common tax pitfalls when setting up a US business
Essentials for US visa application

By attending this seminar, you’ll gain valuable insights and unlock new business opportunities for expanding your global reach. However, please note that availability is limited, so make sure to register soon to secure your spot.

“Fantastic event- I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in which was so lovely considering I was the only one from my company and slightly worried about not being able to relate to all the big firms in the room! I felt accepted immediately and the atmosphere throughout the whole event was just lovely. Well done for getting together such an amazing panel- it was incredibly refreshing to have people speak so honestly about their work and why they do it. More than that it was infinitely inspiring and made me realise the power of female leadership to be able to balance compassion with strong will to get things done! Thank you once again- I'm sure everyone in the room felt it was an extremely valuable few hours spent away from their normal lives.”

I have only been a member of Surrey Chambers of Commerce for just over a year and I have already made so many new and supportive friendships as well as gained business from members and through referrals. The networking meetings are always professionally run and there are great opportunities to attend industry specific meetings offering advice, training and updates. I’m proud to be part of such a professional organisation.

It’s a great example of the value Surrey Chambers brings through meaningful connections and impact in the community." Billy Clackers, Managing Director at Invotra

"This was my 3rd year in succession of attending the BWiS IWD event and I'll keep coming back! The mutual support and advocacy was palpable as you walked into the reception area, and remained throughout the event. Rarely have I heard a panel more authentic and thought-provoking with their personal stories that frankly were at times tough to take in. The food was delicious and the company sparky.” Anne Schiettecatte, AMCS Performance Consulting Ltd

"One of the standout aspects of my involvement has been the quality of guest speakers the Chambers bring in. For instance, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Sven Hughes, CEO of Enigma Strategic Communications. His insights into strategic communications have been both enlightening and inspiring, offering new perspectives on how to approach challenges in my own field of communications. Another memorable Executive Roundtable event allowed me to meet Matt Letley, Co-Chair for B Lab’s "B Local Surrey" group, whose passion for fostering responsible business practices resonated with me and many others at the Roundtable. His guidance on how businesses can work towards certification while also strengthening community ties was invaluable. The Executive Roundtable has given me far more than just professional connections—it’s fostered a space where I can exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and celebrate successes with like-minded peers. Surrey Chambers of Commerce is a pivotal organisation in the local business ecosystem, and being a part of it continues to bring me both personal and professional growth." Paul Zimmerman, COO, INV Group.
