Globalization and international expansion are continuously creating new business opportunities on either side of the US/Canada border. However an expansion across the border raises many challenges brought about by dealing with two different tax and legal regimes. Even the best businesses can falter during an expansion due to the legal, tax and business pitfalls found on both sides of the border.

UHY Victor, in collaboration with its network of UHY affiliate offices across the US and Canada, can advise your business on how to maximize its potential and success as it ventures across the world's longest border. UHY Victor can assist your business to:

• Buy or sell a business on either side of the border
• Develop local business & banking contacts
• Evaluate and select the ideal operating structure (branch, subsidiary, LLC, ULC, etc.)
• Select the best location from which to operate
• Structure the right mix of debt and equity financing
• Comply with Federal, State & Provincial tax laws
• Maintain books and records in accordance with local laws and regulations
• Benefit from available corporate tax incentives and government assistance
