Investing in the US market is about more than Incentives.  It is a complicated package of ingredients to suit your company, your markets and your customers.

Blount County has an oustanding record of success in assisting UK and European companies get established in the US for the long term.  WE partner with our prospect companies to make sure they have the right package of support for their immediate and long term needs - and keep working with them to review those needs.

The word incentives often means different things to different people.  Our Incentives packages are customised to provide a great deal for a company's long term continuity / success - give us a call, we can work out the best deal, in the best location, with the best people.

Long term success in the highly competitive and demanding US market.  Now that's what we call an incentive.

Any European company looking to invest in Tennessee will probably be sending key personnel to the US in the short or long term.  This means those individuals (and their families as appropriate) will need to look closely at the immigration issues.
