This is pretty much as far off topic as I could possibly get I guess.
Basically I'm considering setting up an American division of my UK company and to do this i'd like to setup a whole new legal entity over there that would be part of my group rather than operate over the UK side.
That means I'd want office space / hiring staff both professional (software developers) and admin/customer service people.
So because I don't know the states too well any of you that own/run your own business please give me your knowledge.
What area's are good?
What states have better business taxes and/or incentives for bringing a company to those states?
How is the distribution of skilled professionals over there like over here we struggle like hell to hire devs in certain area's as they simply won't leave places like London is it as bad over there and will this dictate what states I should be considering?
I'd like where possible to avoid the stupid hot spots like Seattle/SV/Austin etc as I can't compete at google/apple/amazon prices for property and staff plus I pretty much hate big cities i'm much more of a country side boy myself and I'll be over there for at least the first 6 months setting things up and getting everything in motion?
For now I'm just wanting to make a short list of states/cities that I should be considering and why I'll then hand them to lawyers for them to deal with final selection and incentive applications etc.
Anything any of you could give me to think about is much appreciated.
