Are you considering expansion of your business outside North America?

Making your first move into Europe can be a demanding prospect. There are now 15 countries within the European Union with ten more hoping to join shortly. Each has its own legal framework and tax system as well as that imposed by the European Union. As well as deciding in which country to set up, you will be faced with unfamiliar rules and conventions, cultural and language differences and a distance of several thousand miles and several hours time difference. Fortunately, help is at hand.
