Choosing where to set up a US office, factory or warehouse can be a real challenge, since laws, taxes and business costs vary hugely across states and cities.

Now, companies expanding into the US have a new source of advice. Global Location Link provides a wealth of online information to help them decide whereabouts to set up operations. Users can see what areas are appropriate to their industry, get advice on issues such as taxes, and view profiles of locations keen to attract overseas companies.

"Like it or not, the USA is a foreign country – even to Brits," says Debbie Kurtz, director of Global Location Link. "In my experience, British companies often do not research properly where to locate, and end up saddling themselves with long-term tax burdens, high wage rates or logistics costs.”
