The questions you're asking

Four questions we hear most

Here are the short answers. The full answer for your company, at the afterwork.

01
Question 01

Is the U.S. worth it for my company?

Four times the customers and forty times the venture capital of Germany.

See the numbers →
02
Question 02

Which visa fits me?

Three business routes: as owner, with your team or on your own merit. None of them depends on the H-1B lottery.

03
Question 03

Can I bring my own people?

In many cases, yes. Key employees can follow once your U.S. company is set up, as ArcheryTime did.

Question 04

Do I have to move?

It depends on your case. Some clients travel back and forth, others move with their families.
