Invest in America / Economic Development Agencies
Invest in America (also called SelectUSA) is the federal body dealing with inward investment into the US (setting up a business in the US). It provides information on issues such as federal taxes and incentives. However, it mostly operates as a coordinating platform for various local economic development agencies. The development agencies operate on a state level and within states there are local agencies on county and city level. Economic development agencies assist foreign companies looking to set up a presence in the US by advising on locations, incentives, regulations, etc. Generally, these agencies are only based in the US.
