Entering the U.S. Market: A Guide for FinTech Firms
The U.S. is home to the world's most vibrant capital markets and deepest pool of venture capital funding.
Successful expansion to the U.S. can cement a FinTech firm's status as a top player in the global landscape
and can provide FinTech firms with opportunities for exponential growth. However, with these opportuni-
ties also come significant regulatory responsibilities and considerations that FinTech firms must navigate.
While entering the U.S. market may seem like a daunting task, as one of the leading firms advising
financial institutions and FinTech firms globally, Shearman & Sterling is well-positioned to guide you
throughout the entire U.S. expansion process and beyond, allowing you to seize these opportunities
while focusing on building out your product and growing your business.
The U.K. Department for International Trade and HM Treasury also provide advice and practical support
for U.K. FinTech firms that wish to scale to the U.S. There is an extensive network of specialists in the U.K.,
the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. and the British Consulates General located throughout the U.S.,
that can signpost firms to knowledge, expertise and opportunities in-market.
