Thinking about expanding from United Kingdom to United States?
Selling software from the United Kingdom into the United States involves converting British English interfaces and documentation into American English and adapting to US corporate norms. US enterprises expect CCPA compliance and often require SOC 2 or FedRAMP certifications for cloud-based solutions. You’ll need to integrate seamlessly with US-standard tools like Salesforce, AWS, or Azure, and strengthen your credibility with US-based case studies or pilot programs that show performance under American regulatory requirements.
Your go-to-market approach should balance direct SaaS subscriptions with partnerships through US-focused VARs or managed-service providers—each demanding US-centric partner enablement materials and margin structures. UK-based support teams must cover multiple US time zones, handle inquiries in native-level English, and meet SLA commitments. Navigating state-by-state sales tax registration, net-30 invoicing cycles, and purchase-order workflows adds administrative overhead. Without a US legal presence or local technical liaison, UK vendors often encounter cultural, regulatory, and operational roadblocks that slow their American market entry.
