Hi all, I am currently running a financial advisory firm through a US LLC. As I now plan to bring overseas investors onboard, my question is what regulations govern these investors; US regulations or the regulations in the countries in which they are domiciled? Regards
Seems like it would be US...especially if you don't openly solicit the foreign traders. If you advertise in that country you might need to register in that country as well. As always, don't put too much faith in legal or accounting advice from nameless people on internet forums and chatrooms!
why commingle the foreign with the domestic? perhaps an "off shore" arrangement may be worth a look? this is fairly common arrangement from my experience.
