For technology companies that are thinking about developing their operations on foreign markets, obtaining financing from foreign funds may turn out to be an indispensable element of their business plan. Investors from the American market, the cradle of technology giants, play a special role. The condition for obtaining access to financial resources from American funds is to conduct business in the USA. Meeting this condition will most often involve establishing a company in the USA and transferring some of the assets and functions from Poland (so-called FLIP). FLIP may also apply to the transfer of business (assets) to a European Union member state or the UK. Conducting this process requires knowledge and assistance from an advisor who will take into account the perspective of Polish and foreign legal and tax regulations.
