The experienced international investment team can do business in more than a dozen languages and can provide extensive knowledge for foreign nationals relocating to or investing in the U.S. The international investment team provides a variety of services for foreign-based businesses seeking to locate or expand in the U.S. such as:
- Customized site searches for available buildings or sites
- Information on operating costs, taxes, potential suppliers, industry sectors, etc.
