Markteintritt in die USA
Strategien von der Expansion bis zur Firmengründung
Der Markt der Vereinigten Staaten ist von den meisten mittelständischen deutschen
Unternehmen nur zu einem kleinen Teil erschlossen. Wie Sie eine solche Expansion
und Markterschließung angehen, bis hin zu den rechtlichen und steuerrechtlichen
Besonderheiten einer Firmengründung, erfahren Sie in unserem Workshop. Rechtsund Steuerspezialisten sowie Praktiker aus den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen helfen
Ihnen, die Chancen der Geschäftserweiterung zu erkennen und die häufigsten Fehler
zu vermeiden.
Die Fotos und Lebensläufe der Referenten finden Sie auf den nächsten Seiten. Das
Seminar wird teilweise in englischer Sprache gehalten und findet in dieser Form auch
in München und Stuttgart statt.
