List of Services
Individual Market Potential Analysis
The goal of the market research is to identify barriers to market entry so that we may help you respond effectively.
Address Research
Our tailored address research service provides profiles of American companies. This allows you to obtain information about potential business partners in the U.S. We utilize business databases and listings to compile a list of target companies based on your specific criteria, including all available contact information.
Business Partner Search
The goal of the Business Partner Search is to establish a solid foundation for long-term business relationships by arranging productive meetings. We can organize your business trip to the U.S. and would be happy to support you during your visit. In doing so, we can create a target list of potential business partners based on the specifications and requirements you provide.
Each target company will be contacted to verify the appropriate contact person and their interest in your products or services. We can also assist you in adapting your marketing materials to the specifications of the U.S. market.
Establishing a Company in the U.S.
In contrast to Germany, incorporating a business in the U.S. is less bureaucratic, and even possible online. Before choosing the appropriate legal form of a company, an initial consultation with a lawyer and/or accountant is highly recommended.
DGIC has access to a broad network of German-speaking international lawyers and accountants who are all familiar with both the German and American legal systems. At your request, we can connect you with the appropriate contacts and assist with the incorporation of your business. This creates flexibility, so you don't have to immediately be physically present in the U.S.
Delegations & Trade Missions USA/GER
Our services include selection and managing the itinerary, planning travel arrangements, accompanying the delegation during the travel, arranging B2B meetings, providing bilingual representation, and supporting deadlines and state-by-stare legal requirements.
Due to our close cooperation with the International Finance Institutions in Washington, DC, we arrange for fact-finding mission trips to the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, and Millennium Challenge Corporation to introduce companies to the vast opportunities to do business with these institutions.
