Thinking about expanding from France to United States?
Selling software from France into the United States means translating your French-English documentation and marketing into polished American English, and aligning design conventions to US UX patterns. You must ensure compliance with CCPA and often secure SOC 2 or FedRAMP certifications to meet enterprise security requirements. Integration capabilities with US-centric platforms such as Salesforce, AWS, or Microsoft Azure are critical, and you’ll need US pilot deployments or case studies to demonstrate your solution’s performance under American regulations.
Your export strategy should weigh direct subscription or licensing models against alliances with US-focused VARs and technology partners—each needing US-specific enablement materials and margin agreements. France-based support teams must cover US time zones, provide SLA-backed assistance in native-level English, and handle state-level sales tax registrations triggered by nexus. Net-30 invoicing and purchase-order processes introduce financial complexity. Without a US-based entity or in-market technical advocate, French software firms often face cultural, regulatory, and operational hurdles delaying their American expansion.
