Expanding your startup to the US: A practical 90-Day Playbook
Expanding into the US is a huge opportunity for UK startups. It’s the world’s largest market, packed with customers, cap...
For UK founders looking to expand to the US, raise from US investors or do the Delaware Flip (moving your company to the US), it can be a minefield navigating the choices and solution providers. So we took our experience expanding SeedLegals in the US to create this video to save you time, effort and money.
For any UK founder thinking about US expansion, SeedLegals is the only platform to help every step of the way. In the first 6 years of SeedLegals, I could count on one hand the total number of companies contacting us about the Delaware flip. I don’t know if it’s my LinkedIn posts or Rachel Reeves, but I’m now talking to three founders *per day* looking to move their companies to the US. Soon it may be the norm that ambitious UK founders incorporate in Delaware from the get-go (minor added bonus: in Delaware, shareholder details are private, they’re not made public as they are on Companies House).

It’s now pretty much as as easy for you to incorporate in Delaware as it is on UK Companies House.
And you can then go on to raise SEIS and EIS into your Delaware company – something that most founders and investors don’t know, but we can help with on SeedLegals.
