Thread: Starting US business

Right, i'm fed up with those pesky communists here, new taxes are on the way, making Belgium the undisputed number one in the world in tax load...
Seriously, do they expect any entrepreneur to just bend over and give 60% and more of their income to the government?

Let alone cars, if I buy one on the company, the total cost in taxes is around 120% taxes over 4 years, and that doesn't include road tax, and isn't included in the purchase value of the car (like in Holland)... It's 120% of the purchase cost all gone, just to own the car...

Anyway, enough of a rant, I need some L4P guys to shed some light into what it would take (i.e. what requirements) to start a business in the US as a foreigner, and subsequently be allowed to live in the US as well... What costs are involved?

Any info welcome, I'm so ready to sell everything here and move to a normal country.

Thanks, what if there is more than one founder? Do they all get such a visa?
And what if I want to start a one man business, is that possible? How many employees do I need to hire?

What, pay 60% taxes or pack up and leave to start over?

Thanks for that, might be possible to find some like-minded people to set it up... Is it then possible for all investors to get the EB-5 visa?

I'll give you 600$ Make me a millionaire.

Yes. Several investors can team up and each get EB-5's. It is also applicable to your family members.
You must meet minimum of 10 employees per venture.
Lots of paper work and finding the right investors, projects, and local person to take charge.

Corporations - File in DE
LLC - Nevada, all the way

Thanks all

Does anyone have any experience with such companies as DialM mentions here:

Any references as to projects where I can invest, have a look at their business plan and so on?
