I am a US citizen and want to become a partner in a friend's UK startup, helping her start a branch office in the US. What is the best way to proceed with this? What forms need to be filled out?

  • Can you be more specific? Are you asking how to incorporate a subsidiary in the US, or how to become a partner to the UK company, or whether you can start activities without any paperwork (answer is yes)? – Alain Raynaud 13 years ago

This sounds like a situation in which it will be really helpful to speak to a lawyer who has some experience in your domain.

I would recommend--at the very least!--having a contract precisely spelling out what each person's rights and responsibilities will be, and what will happen when things go wrong or if either person wants to terminate the agreement.
