Kolkata, Jan 13 (IANS) The US is "open to business" and Indians can start a business in the country within an hour, a US-based industry expert said here.
"It is easy to start a business here (US) as the cost of entry (business set-up) is low...You can open a business within an hour," world chairman of BKR International (BKRI) Howard M. Rosen said on the sidelines of an event here Monday night.
BKRI is a global industry association.
According to Rosen, federal and state clearances can be obtained online by Indians within an hour besides tax benefits which can put them to business at a lightning speed.
"Limited Liability Companies (LLC) is the highest growing segment in the industry variant and it is very easy for Indians to run, operate and dissolve," he said.
