"AAB received an enquiry to assist a prospective client with an expansion into the U.S. The company is headquartered in the Middle East and has never provided services outside of this area, so it required support from both a corporate structuring perspective and the need to move employees and contractors across international borders.
After an initial call, we established that a collaborative approach would be best for the client, with AAB partnering with a provider in the U.S. who could support the initial corporate setup and ongoing compliance. Our thoughts immediately turned to Weaver (Texas, USA - TIAG), with whom we have a successful history of referrals and working together. With support from Vince Houk and Craig Epstein, in particular, we secured the client and provided them with the services they needed to establish themselves in the U.S. market. With AAB providing global payroll, employment tax and employee compliance services and Weaver advising from an entity perspective, we were able to offer an end-to-end service utilizing the skills and experience of both firms but aligned as part of the TAG Alliances.
Recently, this same client has come back to AAB to ask for a number of additional services relating to contractors and international tax advice now that their business has taken off in the U.S. Once again, a joint proposal for support between AAB and Weaver was deemed the best approach, and with the feedback from the client the first time around being so positive, this has now resulted in terms being agreed and a project to be delivered in the coming months and beyond."
