Expansion · Latin America → United States

Enter the U.S. the right way, the first time.

Most companies don't fail in the U.S. because the product is wrong. They fail on the entity, the tax structure, the channel and the first three hires. Daniel plans the entry — and runs it with you.

The problem

The U.S. punishes improvisation.

It is the largest, most competitive market on earth — and the one where a wrong first move is most expensive. The wrong entity, a tax surprise, a distributor who disappears, a sales process that doesn't translate: each can burn a year of capital.

Daniel has done this from the inside. He expanded his own operation from Mexico into the United States, Colombia and other Latin American markets, and wrote the playbook as Destino USA.

What you get

Outcomes that show up in the numbers.

01

Readiness before spend

A clear read on legal, fiscal and cultural gaps before a single dollar goes into the market.

02

A market thesis, not a hunch

Where to play first, who buys, through which channel, and what the first 90 days must prove.

03

The right structure

Entity, compliance, banking and hiring set up once — and set up to scale.

04

First revenue, faster

Daniel's network and USFTI relationships open doors that cold outreach cannot.

How it works

Diagnose. Decide. Deploy. Deliver.

  1. Step 01

    Diagnose

    A U.S. readiness diagnostic across legal, fiscal, commercial and cultural dimensions, with an honest go / adjust / no-go.

  2. Step 02

    Decide

    A market and channel thesis with clear paths, the trade-offs between them, and the capital each one needs.

  3. Step 03

    Deploy

    Entity, compliance, partners, hiring and go-to-market stood up in a gated 90-day blueprint.

  4. Step 04

    Deliver

    Daniel stays in the operating seat through first revenue — or hands over a running business.

Deliverables

  • Market & channel thesis with three decision paths
  • Entity, compliance and banking roadmap

  • Boards approving a U.S. expansion budget
Questions

Straight answers.

Start with a readiness diagnostic covering legal structure, tax exposure, commercial channel and cultural fit, then commit capital in gates against clear proof points. That is the sequence Daniel lays out in his book Destino USA and applies in every U.S. market entry engagement.
