You are at a family birthday party when your older sister, Julie, asks you to help her establish a company that seems to have many complexities. Julie says that she is now a marketing specialist with a hobby in childrens clothing and she is considering starting an international business. Her plan is to export clothing to the U.S. and Canada. The clothing will be made by a contract manufacturer in Viet Nam to her specifications. Julie envisions the operations being headquartered in California, initially with two retail stores – one in Texas and another retail store in Paris, France.

Since she has never been to either of these foreign countries, she asks you to explain what factors to consider including:

  1. What is the best form of organization to use for this multinational type of operation including factors such as formation, stock ownership, board of directors, annual meetings, subsidiaries, etc.?
  2. How will her unfamiliarity with the foreign locations impact the launch of this enterprise?
  3. Do finance and accounting need to be considered from the early stage of her planning; what is the meaning of Financial Statements; and why did her friends tell her to borrow all the money she needs to finance the company?
  4. The meaning and significance of internal control systems; and
  5. Any other factors of relevance.
