Seriously think about whether it makes sense, and think about all of the options. Your costs are going to be DRAMATICALLY higher. So you might not need outside capital to expand if you stay where you are, whereas you might if you take on a bay area-sized expense basis.
You could instead take a 2-month vacation/visit to the bay area twice a year, for example. You don't necessarily need to move to get the benefits you want. My $0.02, hope this helps.
- rstankov 16y agoYes, this is correct and I actually have been there several times, including last month for almost 3 weeks (stayed @ Mountain View). I'm generally willing to move the whole thing there and pay the extra price to get closer to customers first and I generally like the area. I'm prepared for the extra costs, legal issues, taxes etc and am willing to go this way, just not sure where to start. I have a 10-year multiple-entry visa, but this will not allow me to move the business, register US entity, pay taxes, etc there.
- adrianscott 16y agook, if you're really sure ;), i guess next step would be to look at the immigration side of things. creating a biz or moving the biz should be straightforward, consult a corp. lawyer, etc. immigration would be the most challenging piece of the move i expect.
