The bottom line is that you will NOT be able to find a US investor who will help you start a company in Europe. That is just not going to happen, and you really shouldn't waste the next year of your life trying to find such a mythical person. But if you want to start a company closer to home, check out these two books:\n\nJohn May's "Every Business Needs an Angel" [first link] and Asheesh Advani's "Investors in your Backyard" [second link].

I work at setting up small businesses, and I need to let you know that what your listed (inventory, wholesales, etc) are not the things you need to do first. \n\nFirst, you need to come up with a business name and open up a business entity. This will tell the government that you're opening a business, make you legal, guarantee that no one else can have your name, and give you an EIN/tax number. \n\nOnce you've done that, go open a bank account under the name of your business. Once of the biggest mistakes small business owners do is to use their personal money to start the business. Open the bank account, get a business credit card, and a business loan. (You will probably need a business plan to qualify for the loan.) \n\nOnce that is all done, find out the specifics of where you'll get your supplies from.

First, you should talk to an advisor at your university. This is advice from my advisor and personal research. If you're talking about being an International Trade Specialist or International Marketing Specialist go for Business Adm. (Marketing or anything else should work) and a MBA in International Business. American Intercontinental Univerisity offers International Business as in the undergraduate program. If you're thinking about government employment in Foreign Policies, try Business, or whatever major Pre-Law students are in. Also try www.usajobs.opm.gov to see what education is required for certain positions. I just changed my major to Bus. Adm.- Marketing to be an International Trade Specialist for a mojor corporation like Sony!!

Scholarships are an alternative to money in the bank. The first Web site listed under Sources is a general international scholarship search page.  The "educationUSA" Web page can help your friend find the nearest US Advising Center and there may be links that lead to other opportunities.  For certain countries, the US Agency for International Development has scholarships in fields that will help their economic development.  The last Web site listed will help him determine if there's an active program in his country.  If so, it's definitely worth asking if there are any scholarships.  Finally, it's worthwhile contacting US colleges directly - even individual departments.  Some schools have international scholarships or private scholarships open to international students.  If your friend is an athlete, this may be another way to get some help.  Tell him to contact the coaches directly; they can move mountains if they're interested in someone.

In the US I took small business classes and also property management classes through my local community college.\n\nI don't know the education system in your country.  I think your biggest thing would be a system of taking credit cards, advertising, and making sure your business is allowed by local law.

You can open up a DBA (doing business as) account using any person's information and the company name.  That way you can deposit and write checks with the company name on it.  You'll only need proof of business.  International business liscenses would suffice.

Anyone can do business in US with no requirement to be physically present here. Of course, registration, license etc are required.\n\nGenerally you will need to register in every state where you intend to do "business" (e.g. recruit employees, open shop or other physical presence, not including internet or remote sales). Otherwise it is sufficient to register in a single state out of the 50 states.\n\n(1) Pick a state. Most foreign companies pick Delaware\n\n(2) Get incorporated (either as corporation or LLC etc). \n\nIf you do not want it as a corporation but only as a sole proprietorship, you don't have to incorporate. But you can rent an office in any city, go to that city office and get a business license with that address.\n\n(3) If it is a corporation you will need a separate tax id (Also known as entity identification number). You can telephone IRS and they will assign one. For sole prop you can file taxes with personal income tax. \n\n(4) If you incorporate in Delaware and also keep a physical presence in Delaware you won't need a separate certificate from the DE state. IF you incorporate in Delaware and rent an office space in California, you will need a separate "certificate of qualification" from CA state, as a "foreign corporation" (foreign in the sense of another state, not country). You will pay taxes to CA state and not DE State (Where you pay only franchise taxes for shares and no business income tax).\n\nGenerally companies located overseas incorporate in Delaware, and also open a virtual office in Delaware through "Registered Agent" who helps you incorporate. It costs about $500 for one time incorporation, and a recurring cost of $200 or so each year to maintain legal active status it in Delaware. (Figures are approximate).  OFfice space costs are extra.\n\nThe other alternate would be finding a "partner" company that imports your product and markets it in US.\n\nYou will need to decide if you want to go alone or find a partnering company. \n\nImporting gold may invoke custom duties.\n\nOften each segment of a business US is outsourced to expert companies. Importing company could be different from marketing and sales company.\n\nHope the writeup helps a bit. Good Luck on your plans.

I think you have to have a certain (very large) sum of cash and then you can enter on an entrepreneurs visa.\n\nAnd even then, I think you have to be from certain countries.\n\nIt's very difficult to move there. The more money you have the better. Often buying a franchise is the easiest way for people to immigrate, not sure how it works if you want to set up a business as opposed to just buying one.\n\nHave a look on the US immigration websites.

If youintend to work there the first thing you will need is a work permit. So you need to find an employer with a shortage of staff they can source in the US. If you have a specialist skill you are more likley to find an employer. Start with websites on employment.

A proposal to do what??  You probably need a friend or somebody in the US or EU to get you started in whatever you want to do.  Or spend some time over here til you get whatever going.
