The United States can offer several advantages:

• Strong legal frameworks for intellectual property protection
• A competitive environment that can support innovation and expansion

Yes. A foreign business generally does not need a US Social Security Number simply to operate in the United States. Depending on its structure and activities, the business may instead need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and other federal or state registrations.

Businesses have several options for building a US workforce:

• Establishing and employing workers through your own US entity, such as an LLC or corporation
• Using a PEO under a co-employment arrangement
• Working with an EOR to employ workers without establishing your own employing entity
• Engaging independent contractors where the working relationship meets applicable classification requirements

• Coordinate workforce structures as operations expand across US locations
• Connect payroll processes with broader employee and workforce data

Setting up a US entity typically requires choosing an appropriate business structure, registering with the relevant state, obtaining required tax identifiers, and completing any additional registrations necessary for the company’s activities and workforce.

Komp can support the workforce planning around this process by helping organizations evaluate:

• Whether direct entity employment, PEO, EOR, or contractor models better fit the expansion plan
• Payroll and workforce requirements associated with the chosen employment structure
• Compliance and documentation workflows as teams expand into additional locations
