Winmor's Guide to Doing Business in the States

    NEW YORK, NY, September 11, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Recent research reported on Inc.com, illustrated how a start-up visa (which makes it easier for foreign founders to come to the U.S. to start a business) would benefit the economy. Reforming the process of bringing entrepreneurs to the states isn't just a matter of generating 1.6 million new jobs and a 1.5% bump in economic growth. These reported numbers hide an abundance of human stories of talented individuals facing very frustrating experiences in getting a visa.

Winmor offers ten top tips to those talented individuals considering starting a business in the USA as the difficulties are rarely publicised.

1. Does this business really need to be located in America?
There are numerous vibrant places to start a business these days - London, Berlin, Melbourne. There are cities all around the world that are trying to nurture start-ups.

2. Don't cheap it out
Getting a visa isn't cheap. It generally costs around $10 000 to $15 000 all in so a person might be tempted to cut corners. This would be a bad choice. Don't scrimp, instead ask around and get a great lawyer.

3. Look at all the options
There are lesser known possibilities such as setting up a subsidiary of an existing foreign company and essentially transferring yourself to the States. Research these other options thoroughly.

4. Opt for openness
Being transparent with business partners and clients is vital.

5. Expect getting a visa to be a full time job
Having strong business partners or a great team around will really help and free up time to focus on the visa application. Getting a visa is an intensive process and will use up a considerable amount of time.

6. Have a back-up plan (or 2 or 3)
Applying for a visa is an inherently uncertain process so there must be a couple of back up plans in the pipe line.

7. Be honest with officials
Be brutally honest with officials because if caught out, there is a good chance that will end the visa application for good.

8. Political support can help
There are many politicians who like to foster entrepreneurship so writing to them enlisting them to help in the visa application could be an option if things go wrong.

9. Leverage technology to stay productive while waiting
Tools such as Skype and FaceTime can be used to continue to accomplish things whilst a visa application is tied up.

10. Remember the reason for the application
There must be a strong motivation and drive to complete the visa application process - this is not something that is taken lightly.
