International Development
The United States is the land of unlimited possibilities. Entrepreneurs are eager to try their luck there. If they succeed, there is market potential in a country with more than 335 million citizens.
However, gaining a foothold in the United States is not easy. More than half of the companies drop out within three years. America is expensive and the regulations are complicated, especially because they differ per state. Hiring the right specialists is therefore very important.
It takes time, patience and attention to build a company in the US.
It is better to start in one state: it is manageable, in terms of distances, regulations and culture. Texas alone is seventeen times the size of the Netherlands.
America should not really be seen as one country, but as fifty different countries, each with their own rules and customs.
“Coming together is a beginning, staying together is a challenge, working together is success.”
