It is the perfect time to enter the US market!

The USA is by far the largest and most important export market for European countries. Today we’ve seen the best running economy in the US, since a long time. Current Administration is willing to invest in infrastructure. With the historic tax reform, a pro-business environment is supporting investments in the US, to be successful a local presence is a must. The overall situation wasn’t that good in a long time and this is the optimal time to act!

So how do you penetrate the US market? The annals of business are littered with foreign companies that have never quite succeeded in the USA. An independent study says that up to 65% of companies fail in this endeavor. It doesn’t have to be like that!
