The United States of America are associated with boundless expanses, freedom, and great business opportunities. The latter, in particular, has led to a veritable expansion wave by international companies since the early 2000s.
The United States of America has been the world’s strongest economy measured by gross domestic product for decades. It is the fourth biggest nation by territory and the third biggest by population. The high consumption of American households and investment-stimulating reforms are just some of its competitive advantages.
And even better for businesses trying to locate or relocate: There is strong competition among states and counties for jobs and investments from private companies. Public incentives, tax cuts, land donations and personnel hiring services are just a few examples of local offers to attract businesses.
But be careful: The legislation and other site selection factors can differ greatly in some cases.Labor law, tax policies, environmental regulation, for example, vary widely state by state.
Germany’s stable regulatory environment, impressive consumer market, and highly skilled workforce combined with its central geographical position in Europe make it a perfect choice for businesses looking to grow their influence in Europe and across the world.
Its population of more than 83 million and GDP of more than 4 trillion US-dollars tops the numbers of all other European countries and ranks Germany number 4 of the biggest economies in the world.
While the country’s social market economy may be prosperous, businesses must comply with extensive regulations and face very robust employee protection laws making labor very expensive. Germany typically ranks around the 125th of 190 countries on the World Bank’s “starting a business index”.
Procuring construction and environmental permits involve a lot of time and paperwork too. Companies should budget plenty of time launching their ventures in Germany. The language barrier – in particular when dealing with public authorities and blue-collar workers – can be a major challenge too.
