Starting a Company in the U.S. as a French National: Why Choose Capitalink

Creating a company in the United States is an ambitious entrepreneurial project for many French nationals. Whether you're a sole trader, entrepreneur, start-up founder, or business executive, Capitalink guides you in setting up a legal structure tailored to your needs: LLC, Corporation, Sole Proprietorship, SASU, or public limited company — from business plan to incorporation, drafting articles of association, and opening a U.S. bank account.

Why Start a Company in the U.S.?

A Business-Friendly Environment for Growth

The United States — and Florida in particular — offer legal and fiscal stability, simplified procedures, and access to funding, venture capital, and business support (such as incubators, accelerators, or Bpifrance). Local taxation and fiscal advantages for sole proprietors or limited liability companies encourage entrepreneurship.

Increased Competitiveness and International Expansion

By creating a tax-optimized U.S. company, you can:

• Choose the most suitable legal structure (LLC, SASU, SARL…)

• Optimize social charges and corporate tax

• Open a U.S. bank account

• Structure your capital and contributions

• Present a solid business plan to raise funds or secure a loan
