Hi guys,

I have set up a company in US 1.5 years ago (I am a GC holder) and also a company in India since then, where I get the work done (typical outsourcing model). However, these two are independant companies owned by me. I would like them to be same company with two offices.

How does a US company invest/take over a company in India. Have you done something like this? How's the taxation for such a company. Right now, I have setup an LLC and taxation is pretty straight-forward, I don't even need a tax consultant. Would this new setup mean more hassles? Any input is appreciated.

Btw, one of the main reasons I want both offices to be same company is that when I sign NDA with my customers, I need to tell put both companies names on the NDA and it sometimes freaks the customers out. US companies are comfortable dealing with US companies and that's the reason I started/registered a company in US. However, now, I need to go the extra mile and make it a truly US company.
 
I am also pretty much in the same boat. Finally decided to keep two companies seperate mainly due to the laws in India rather than here. In India when a company is owned by a foriegn entity, there is a lot of restrictions on how manage any posible revenues in India, and mainly how the cash flow in and out of the country is handled.

Here also there are some complications for the tax. But not as much complicated. My revenue didn't warrant such headaches. So we are still two seperate companies. US entity is a customer of teh indian company. Since both companies has the same name NDA issue is as much in my case.

Thanks,

Aji
 
Hello...

Can you please tell me the procedures to start a company (consulting) in US.
I would like to start a S corp. I guess which is good with the tax part.

thanks
