South African moving to Grand Cayman looking for a starting point

[Ian MacLean]

Hi Guys.

So, as per the title, I am a South African CA (equivalent of your CPA) moving to Grand Cayman at the end of this year for 18 months.

I've been building my portfolio in South Africa, and would like to take the opportunity to diversify and invest in the US during my time in the Caribbean.

Given the above, I'm looking for anyone who could possibly help with some links to "crash course" sites on:

- setting up an LLC in the US as an expat

 - financing (should I attempt to finance through my Cayman bank account, or set up a US bank account now and start building credit today to improve my chances once I'm there etc...)

 - other laws and regulations to be aware of

 - any other requirements I need to be aware of / can start putting into place now so that I can hit the ground running once I'm there?

Thanks so much for taking the time to read!

Ian :)
