Networking / Relationship Building

The decision to cross the “Big Pond” with your family or your business is a big one that involves considerations outside of the visa realm.  Each step should be carefully planned, as legal considerations are often intertwined with logistical issues such as site selection, opening bank accounts, hiring workers and/or relocating personnel, who need schools and support services for their families.
The business may need to establish contacts with elected officials or determine how to best integrate into the local community. Large companies often have staff to accomplish these tasks, but small and medium sized companies and start-ups benefit from joining networks and engaging consultants to help with smooth operations.
