Hi,
There are a number of platforms and opportunities for taking on contract work in the USA, but the yanks generally won't deal with non-US based companies, even if they are happy with the timezone difference etc.
To that end, I have been thinking of incorporating a subsidiary in the USA and having a 'virtual office'. The idea would be that the US based LLC would be 100% owned by my UK company. It would also have a US bank account. I believe these things are entirely possible to do, even though I am not a US citizen or green card holder. Running a US company can also open the door to obtaining a green card further down the line.
Has anyone experience of doing this? I am interested to hear about it, and also get an idea of the costs involved in incorporating, and what to expect in terms of annual costs of running a small business in terms of having the accounts prepared each year. If its likely to be of the order of a few $K per year, then I think it is quite viable.
