Hello all,

I am considering investing in a business in the US. I would go into partnership with a friend. He would run the business from over there. I will be here working as PAYE worker.

I would be interested in any thoughts people have around this.

I am guessing that many Irish people must be organised in business in US.

The plan would be to invest $X and that in time a percentage of profits would be paid to me on an annual basis.

How straightforward would it be from a tax perspective?

Apart from the risk of the business failing which I can assess myself are there other problems with investing directly in a business in US?

Thank you.
