USA Representation
The establishment of Alliance in the U.S.A. (in 1986) has enabled its British management to gain extensive local on-site experience not only in shipping, forwarding and brokerage fields but in all aspects of inter-state commerce marketing sales and distribution methods and practices.
Accordingly the Alliance U.S.A. Headquarters offers overseas exporters an exclusive North American presence to service their U.S.A. business in the capacity of manufacturer’s representative, providing a specialised on-site logistical service by acting as an intermediary between overseas manufacturers and their U.S.A. client base.
The Alliance Group can arrange for the incorporation of the client’s Company within the U.S.A. subsequently dealing with such matters as business licensing, product liability insurance, the appointment of a Corporate Attorney/C.P.A./U.S. Banker (F.D.I.C.), Federal and State tax filing, telephone/fax/e-mail installation, stationery printing and indeed all aspects of establishing a U.S. presence within the Alliance office and warehousing infrastructure utilising the Alliance staff and facilities to project the desired operational corporate presence on behalf of the client.
The Alliance Group operates an extensive range of computerised logistical and administrative services for its clients covering inventory warehousing, stock control, order processing, nationwide air and road distribution, invoicing and credit management of receivables and a host of peripheral on-site value added services all overseen by senior (British) Alliance staff.
This facility has proven very popular with those clients wishing to maintain the considerable benefits of a tangible identity in the U.S.A. whilst avoiding the often prohibitive costs involved in establishing a dedicated administration and distribution centre consequently incurring the attendant overheads of staff recruitment, immigration (legal) fees, payroll costs, medical, dental and workers (liability) insurances, State and Federal social security taxes, office/warehouse leases, Company vehicles, utility bills et al. in addition to the unavoidable fixed establishment costs illustrated above.
The Alliance Group represents numerous overseas manufacturers in the U.S.A. in this capacity and can structure a client’s U.S. operation according to its individual product range and own special requirements but at a fraction of the cost of maintaining their own autonomous U.S. centre.
