"The U.S. market offers a unique opportunity for growth for Canadian and foreign companies. But expanding into any foreign market has its complications and risks. That is why many of Canadas largest companies, and a number of international firms, have turned to Crossborder Development Corporation (CDC) for help. For over two decades, CDC has been helping companies successfully locate or expand in the U.S. CDCs complete package of services can make your venture into the U.S. marketplace a profitable one."
This is from a very interesting company located in Rouses Point, New York called Crossborder Development Corporation. Operated by Mark Barie and Mathew Boire, CDC offers immigration consulting and real estate brokerage services. This packaged service offers Canadian companies what they need to cross the border and enter the U.S. market. CDC is a licensed real estate broker providing traditional commercial real estate services including site selection, leasing, and sales. In addition to real estate services, they can provide consulting on start-up financing and market research. However, finding a location in the U.S. is of little use to a Canadian company if they are not able to secure proper immigration visas. Recognizing this need, CDC packaged these services into one company. What a dynamic and innovative approach to traditional real estate brokerage service. CDC is able to provide immigration consulting, including obtaining work visas for company execs and employees, providing the ablility for a Canadian company to legally enter the U.S. market. Then Crossborder Development Corp is able to assist the Canadian company in finding a location to set-up and conduct their business in the U.S.
I believe many companies look to solution providers like CDC that are able to handle multiple issues. A one-stop shopping approach. I know when I was looking for crossborder accountants, I choose one who could prepare both my Canadian and U.S. tax returns. This way, I am not having to juggle between two accountants and there is no confusion as to timing or missing items between the two returns. This type of service has reduced my stress and helped to remove some of the concern of crossborder issues. Crossing the border is a significant and often complicated undertaking for a Canadian company. Utililzing the services of a company like CDC can help in this process and possibly reduce some of the complications and risk.
