How do I expand my US business to Europe?
Expanding a US business abroad usually means forming a local entity (e.g., a German GmbH), registering for VAT, setting up cross-border accounting, and handling US-side CFC reporting (Form 5471/GILTI). Taika coordinates all of it through vetted licensed partners — notaries, attorneys, Steuerberater, and CPAs — and translates every document. Founded 2009, 102,000+ projects, 5.0★.
Foreign expansion fails in the gaps between advisors
A European entity needs a local notary, a registered address, a Steuerberater for accounting, and a US CPA for Form 5471 and GILTI — with penalties starting at $10,000 per missed form. Coordinating four advisors across two languages and time zones is where founders stall. One quarterback closes those gaps.
We coordinate and translate; licensed pros execute
Taika is the single point of contact across your foreign expansion: we line up and coordinate vetted local notaries, attorneys, and accountants plus your US CPA, translate every filing and contract in-house, and keep the whole project moving — while the licensed professionals perform the regulated work.

Foreign expansion rarely fails on strategy — it fails in the gaps between a local notary, a local accountant, a local attorney, and your US CPA, spread across two languages and time zones. A missed Form 5471 alone starts at a $10,000 penalty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I form a company in Germany from the USA?
A German GmbH requires a local notary, articles of association, a registered address, minimum capital, and Handelsregister registration — plus US-side Form 5471/GILTI reporting. Taika coordinates the local notary, attorney, and Steuerberater and your US CPA, and translates every document. Licensed professionals perform the regulated steps.
Does Taika form the entity or give legal/tax advice itself?
No. Taika coordinates, translates, and project-manages, while vetted, licensed notaries, attorneys, Steuerberater, and CPAs perform the regulated legal and tax work. You get one point of contact and everything in plain English.
What is Form 5471 and do I need it?
US shareholders of a foreign corporation generally must file Form 5471, with penalties starting at $10,000 per missed form, and may face GILTI/NCTI inclusions. Taika coordinates this with your US CPA as part of the expansion.
