Frequently Asked Questions
Our frequently asked questions (FAQs) are a live repository of common issues our clients inquire about. By creating an archive of questions and answers, we want to help you understand the nature of the work we do—and how we do it. After all, our goal is to help business executives and entrepreneurs plan and execute an effective entry into the U.S. market.
What exactly does Atlas Entry Global do?
We specialize in premium U.S. market entry for established and new international companies. Our advisory-led engagements include corporate structuring, regulatory setup, banking infrastructure, real estate acquisition, hiring, and full operational launch — all customized to your business model and goals.
What types of businesses do you work with — and what level of investment should we expect?
We work with international companies that are serious about building a real, compliant, and lasting presence in the U.S. Our clients typically include manufacturers, service providers, exporters, and established ventures entering the U.S. as a strategic market — not just testing the waters.
A typical engagement with Atlas Entry Global involves a consulting investment is around $150,000 USD, with the total scope varying based on your goals, industry, and infrastructure needs. If you’re planning for meaningful growth in the U.S., we’re built to be your high-level partner — not just a filing service.
Do you offer “just company formation” or low-cost entry packages?
No. Our focus is on turnkey market entry — not just forming acorporation or filing documents. If you’re looking for a low-cost filing service, we’re not the right partner. If you want trusted U.S. infrastructure and strategic guidance, we are built for you.
Do you only work with large corporations?
Not necessarily. Many of our clients are mid-sized, family-owned, or venture-backed — but all are serious about creating a real and lasting footprint in the U.S. We work with organizations that want structure, not shortcuts.
Do you offer a smaller first step before committing to full U.S. market entry?
Yes. Our U.S. Market Entry Roadmap (starting at $35,000) is designed as a focused, standalone engagement for companies seeking a clear, structured plan before moving into execution.
We deeply analyze your business, goals, and industry context to outline a step-by-step market entry strategy tailored to your unique case. This includes recommendations on entity structure, regulatory path, location strategy, banking, compliance, and early-stage staffing — all mapped into a realistic, actionable plan.
There is no obligation to move forward beyond this phase. You gain a complete roadmap and clarity on what your U.S. expansion would require — and can choose when and how to execute it.
How long does a typical project take?
Full engagements last 3–12 months or longer, depending on the complexity of your goals (e.g., acquiring real estate, hiring a team, or setting up regulated operations). We’re not here for speed — we’re here for sustainable success.
Can we operate remotely, or must we be physically in the U.S.?
You can start remotely. Many of our clients launch operations before relocating — and we assist with everything from registered agents to property acquisition to remote onboarding.
Can you manage our accounting, taxes, and compliance?
We set up compliant accounting infrastructure, integrate QuickBooks or Xero, and bring in licensed CPAs and CFOs when needed. We don’t file your taxes, but we build the framework and team to ensure nothing is missed.
Do you help with staffing and HR?
Yes. We guide you through employer registration, payroll systems, and help recruit your first hires through our vetted local HR partners. We also support compliance with state and federal labor laws.
What about licenses and permits?
Our team researches and supports all necessary state, federal, and local permits, based on your industry. Whether you’re opening a food facility, medical lab, or logistics hub — we manage or coordinate permitting with precision.
What is your typical project budget?
Most of our client projects average around $150,000 USD, depending on the size, complexity, and specific needs of the business. Engagements that include real estate, staffing, or operations in regulated industries often range between $200,000 and $300,000. These amounts reflect the full scope of work we deliver — from strategic planning to complete legal, operational, and market setup in the United States.
Do you accept startups or new entrepreneurs?
Only if the startup is well-funded or backed by a credible program or investor. We do not work with solo founders seeking passive entities, crypto-related ventures, or anyone looking for low-cost access to the U.S. market.
Can I pay in installments or after setup?
We operate on structured milestone payments. We do not offer deferred payments or profit-sharing models. Clients are required to commit financially to each project stage before work begins.
Do you work on commission or success-fee basis?
No. We are strategic advisors, not brokers or intermediaries. Our value lies in our ability to prevent failure, structure your U.S. foundation, and accelerate success through precision—not sales commissions.
Who leads and oversees the work?
Each project is personally led by our founder, Linas Statkus, whose background spans over two decades in operations, logistics, and international business expansion. His leadership ensures that every engagement is grounded in practical industry experience, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of what it takes to successfully establish and scale in the U.S. market. Our clients benefit from hands-on guidance shaped by years of working with a broad range of industries and organizational models.
How do we start?
We begin with a Market Entry Roadmap Session (starting at $500). This includes a strategic consultation, rough diagnostic assessment, and an outline of your best path into the U.S. If we’re a mutual fit, we proceed to implementation.
What’s your success rate?
We don’t measure success by survival — we measure it by compliance, clarity, and real market presence. Our clients launch on solid foundations and grow sustainably because their U.S. entry is structured correctly from day one. Our promise: your corporation will be fully operational in the U.S. — legally, financially, and strategically.
