Episode 33 - What Canadian businesses get wrong when expanding to the U.S.

Expanding into the U.S. can be a major growth opportunity for Canadian business owners—but it also introduces a complex set of cross-border tax rules that can create costly surprises.

In this episode, Frankie and Sarah speak with cross-border tax specialist David Downie about the real considerations behind setting up a U.S. company, choosing the right entity structure, and avoiding common traps that catch Canadian entrepreneurs off guard. From LLC pitfalls and foreign affiliate rules to “mind and management” risks, services business issues, and withholding tax on cross-border loans, David breaks down what business owners need to know before making the move.
