So I am thinking about marketing my simple web app to the canadian market. We are in a very niche industry and feel professionals in Canada could benefit from our service so why not help them out right?<p>Well my question for you all is do I need to do anything on the business end of things? We are an LLC in NH, do we need to set anything up in addition to this to make it legal to do business in Canada?<p>I'm not sure what the process is because all of our business is done through the internet. Any help is much appreciated!<p>Thanks.
Now, I don't specifically target the international market, but a large portion of my customers (less than 50%, but, I think, more than 20%) are from outside of the country. To the best of my knowledge (and I do pay someone for tax advice) being as I'm providing a service and not leaving the country I don't need to do anything special because these customers are outside the country.<p>I've still gotta pay US taxes on my profits, of course, just like if my customers were all within the US, but to my knowledge the US government is happy if I pay my US taxes, and none of the other governments have any authority over me, so I as long as I'm square with the IRS here in the US, I don't need to worry about the laws of every country where a customer might come from.<p>This may be different if you have employees in other countries (all my employees and current contractors are US citizens working here in the US. I have had foreign contractors in the past, and I'm <i>much</i> less sure of what the law is in that case.)<p>This may also be different if you have infrastructure outside the country. All my stuff is currently in the US.
