Hello. I'm new to this sort of thing so I hope I'm doing it right. I own a business in the UK and have recently taken over the employees and customer base of a US (Wisconsin) based Rep Agent. This Rep had 2 Administrative employees in Wisconsin, a Technical Specialist who lives in Florida but spends most of his time in China and Taiwan with the manufacturers, and 3 sales guys, one in Texas, one in North Carolina and one in Illinois. The business represents the Asian manufacturers into major Global Electronic Manufacturing companies, most of whom have their corporate headquarters and design centres within Europe and USA, but the manufacturing is located in Asia. The role is therefore mostly to promote the pcb manufacturer's product and get their name on the AVL (Approved Vendor List), so that orders will come from the purchasing departments out in the manufacturing locations, in China, India, Mexico and other, low cost areas. All the US employees work from their homes in the respective States. It has been suggested that I set up a US based LLC, which will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the UK company. The LLC will pay the US employees both a base salary as well as commissions, based on the level of sales achieved through the China and Taiwan factories to their respective customers' production locations/sub-contractors. I have been told that I will, at some significant cost need to register each employee to do business in their respective States. This doesn't seem right. It would almost be cheaper to fire them all and set up an office in one State, then employ new people to work from that State and travel out to the customers, located in numerous other States to provide the services we offer. Can anyone advise me on the best, most cost effective way to set up this business, please?
