Hi,

I am from India and I have opened offshore company in US. I got mailing address and company name. No phone and fax.

I am targeting hosting business world wide. I need your suggestion should I use US company name on my webiste or only India company address?

Such as in About Us and Contact Us for setisfication the US clients.


What do you suggest?


Thanks,
Raza

There are those that will not buy from you if you put India (why I am not sure) but this would be the same if you were in China or California. there will always be someone that will not like where you are located.

Now with that said, can I ask a question? Where Are you located? I mean where are you physically located? India? and are you just using a US mailing address which is being forwarded to India? If so why would you ask this, it is a question of business ethics to me. If I am in India and I think I will get more business by saying I am in US then I am lying to my customers. In my opinion it should not matter where you are just as long as service is good.

My 2 cents

I am based in India. and have open offshore company in US because was having some problem such as paying credit card online, marchant account for processing online payment on my webiste and some other issue which needs for US based company.

I understand your thinking.. Let me ask you this. If you have a mailing address in the USA I think if you put in your About Us page your company and and then were you are going to have your address put Mailing Address: and list your USA and even your India address, I would assume that people will want to do business with those in their own country to help support each other and this will solve both issues??

Again just my thoughts. :)

it depends on who your target market is. If you will be selling more to people in India, use that address, US, use that address.

Another suggestion, you have to have a primary address. This is nothing new, companies do it all the time. You can publish two addresses. One is your US based address and the other your India.

Now it comes down to how you describe your business point of presence. Are you an India based business with offices in the US or a US based company with offices in India? This is the approach you need to take.

whatever

My thoughts exactly. I would list both your US and India address. This way you look a bit bigger than you really are, and can satisfy both markets.
