If you are a registered company in your country of origin, you are qualified to register in the US.
Businesses in Africa are finding it difficult to access capital at home but one of the ways around this problem is for these companies to tap into the global market by launching a branch or a subsidiary of their company in the US.
Registering your business in the US is a badge of honour to enable your organization to offer services to anyone around the globe.
