If you want to invest and start a business in America, Americans only need $65,438 +00. However, if China citizens want to become investors, they need to invest 500,000 US dollars to apply for starting a company in the United States, so as to solve the problem of green cards for two people. In the United States, the legality of investment funds is strictly examined, mainly depending on whether the investment funds are legal income and whether they are taxed according to regulations. because

Therefore, if private entrepreneurs from China invest in the United States, they must also show the tax collection certificate notarized by China Taxation Bureau. Even if these two conditions are met, domestic investors still need to know the relevant policies of the state on foreign exchange management and what regulations and requirements are there for the remittance of large overseas investments.

If the investment funds are in place and verified by the US, the company can apply for a business license, open an account and formulate its articles of association. Generally speaking, opening a branch in the United States can be composed of four people: manager, deputy manager, secretary and accountant. One of the four people must be American. These four people are the core of the company. Except Americans, all three people hold L 1 visas, that is, visas held by company managers and key management personnel. Holders of L 1 visas can apply for a green card after two years. It should be noted that a company opened in the United States is best a branch of a domestic head office, and the best candidate for its manager is a domestic deputy manager or something. If you fill in the position of President or General Manager of China when applying for L 1 visa, the US Immigration Service will suspect that you have an immigration tendency. Therefore, the domestic title of the person applying for the L 1 visa is preferably enterprise planning and deputy general manager, and his identity is consistent with the nature of working in the United States.

According to the business needs and business scale, the company can apply to the US Immigration Bureau to hire employees. These employees can be local in China or domestic. However, the US Immigration Bureau has a principle when recruiting employees. Locals come first, then China people. That is, you can't apply for recruiting domestic people until you can't find a local person who can do the job the company needs. According to the regulations of the Immigration Bureau, you must first publish a job advertisement in a local newspaper in the United States, detailing the recruitment requirements, so that all interested parties can compete fairly. However, if domestic branches in the United States really want to recruit people from China, it is also a piece of cake. If you want to recruit special talents, such as workshop management experience, understand Chinese and master a dialect skillfully, Americans can't compete. When there are no local people in the newspaper, the US Immigration Bureau will approve the employment of people from China. These domestic employees hold H- 1 visas, that is, employment visas.

After the company starts to operate, it should make tax returns and pay taxes normally, and the income and expenditure accounts of the business should be balanced. Losses are not taxed, but there is a time limit. If you keep losing money for one or two years, there is no need to start this company. The most important thing to start a company in the United States is to have performance, complete and clear accounts and stand the test. If the company is profitable, besides paying taxes according to regulations, there are many ways to avoid taxes in disguise, such as buying real estate, buying cars, or making charitable donations. Generally speaking, American taxes are paid according to the fiscal year. Usually, if you have paid the tax on buying a car or a house, you don't have to pay the enterprise income tax. Many China companies solve their tax problems by buying real estate. Some big bosses in the United States avoid taxes through charitable donations, that is, they get fame and benefits. Because the United States government has regulations, donations can be tax deductible.
