Guide To Operating A Business In The US

Starting and operating a business in the United States is an exciting step for most businesses. However, failing to understand the US employment laws can make your venture to explore new markets a nightmare. Whether you’re a first-time entrepreneur or an established business owner, here’s how you can navigate the legal landscape and set your business up for success.

The Right Local Entity

Before you launch your business, you should choose a legal structure that suits your needs. For instance, you can opt for Sole Proprietorship, where you will be personally responsible for all aspects of the business, or Limited Liability Company (LLC) that offer personal liability protection for owners while maintaining flexibility in management and taxation.

Apart from all these, you can also work with an EOR who will function as your legal business entity, saving you time and resources.

Understanding Tax Obligations

When hiring international employees, it is important you understand your tax obligations to stay compliant and avoid penalties. Your legal responsibility regarding taxes in the US includes Federal Taxes, State Taxes, and Sales Taxes. Each state in the US has its own tax laws. So, make sure you are familiar with the rules depending on the state you operate in.

Licenses And Permits

Depending on your industry and location, you will have to obtain various licenses and permits to operate legally and hire employees abroad. For instance, some of the licenses and permits you’d need include:

• Business License: Required by most jurisdictions to operate a business legally.
• Zoning Permits: Ensure your business location complies with local zoning regulations.

Employment Laws

Every business has employees, and this means you must comply with federal and state employment laws, including:

• Minimum Wage: You must pay your employees at least the federally mandated minimum wage or the state minimum wage, whichever is higher.
• Overtime Pay: All your eligible workers must be paid for overtime working hours which is typically 40 hours per week.
• Worker Safety: Providing a safe working environment for your staff is necessary to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.

Records And Compliance

Lastly, it is important to keep thorough records of your business activities, including financial transactions, contracts, and regulatory filings. This is because, if you’re ever asked by the governmental authorities to submit any of these documents, you should be able to do so to avoid penalties. Apart from paperwork, make sure to regularly review and update your compliance practices so as to adhere to laws and regulations.
