What are some challenges that outbound businesses face?

If a U.S. business is considering expansion into other countries, there are many obstacles it might face on the road to international establishment, including:

Regulatory and Legal Compliance: Navigating foreign labor laws and standards can be complex, and compliance failure can have steep costs. Be sure you’re aware of any labor, tax, trade, environmental, or other legal regulations that may apply in your target market.
Economic Volatility: Factors like inflation, unemployment, and interest rates in your target market can impact growth potential for your business. Be sure to assess your target market’s economic volatility and have a plan for any unfavorable circumstances that might arise.
Cultural and Social Differences: When mobilizing a global workforce, it’s important to remember that different countries have different customs and communication styles when it comes to managing or discussing business. Be aware of any etiquette differences that could affect your relationships with foreign business partners or employees.
Intellectual Property Concerns: It’s important to develop protection strategies around any patents, copyrights, trademarks, and any other intangible assets that distinguish your business from others in the marketplace before taking your business global.

If you’re considering expansion into other countries, Aprio is here to help. Contact us today to learn more about our outbound tax planning and advisory solutions.
