From UK to USA: Finance & Compliance Essentials to Get StartedJoin this free webinar to understand the key finance and compliance considerations when expanding your startup from the UK to the US.
Date:ย Wednesday 25 February 2026, 12:00pmโ1:00pm (GMT)
Speaker:ย Michael Budnow (Standard Ledger)
Expanding your startup into the US is a big opportunity, but things can easily go wrong if the foundations arenโt set up properly.
This practical webinar is designed forย UK startup foundersย who are consideringย entering the US marketย and want to understand what actually needs to be done on the finance and compliance side - before spending money or locking in the wrong structure.
Led by Michael Budnow, UK Director and Co-Founder of Standard Ledger, this session cuts through the noise and focuses on the essentials founders need to get right early to avoid painful (and expensive) fixes later.
What weโll cover:
Entity setupย - When and why a Delaware C-Corp makes sense, QSBS eligibility, registered agents and basic US entity requirements
409A valuationsย - What a 409A is and when you need one, IRS-compliant valuations that stand up to investor diligence
R&D tax creditsย - How US R&D tax credits work (federal + state) and how to maximise claims without creating risk
Payroll & benefitsย - How to pay US employees correctly, W-2 vs 1099 contractors, multi-state payroll basics using platforms like Gusto or Rippling
Sales tax & nexusย - What โnexusโ actually means, common triggers in states like Texas and Florida, and how to avoid accidental non-compliance as you grow
Who should attend:
UK startups planning to expand into the US
Founders preparing for US hiring or revenue
Companies raising (or planning to raise) from US investors
Finance-light founding teams who want clear advice and not jargon
๐ฅ Canโt attend live?ย Register anyway and weโll send you the recording afterwards.
