This is what makes us unique

Experience

We have comprehensive experience in our areas of expertise, including business & operations management, accounting, income, sales & use tax, banking, HR, payroll, distribution and administration. We work as a team to deliver customized and proactive on-going support and services.


Strategy

We provide advice and services that combine extensive and diverse experience with critical thinking and creative mindset, enabling us to offer each client strategic and proactive advice tailored to their specific circumstances, needs and goals. We know that one size rarely fits all.

Client Focus

We make an effort to get to know each client and to deliver services that meets your specific needs and objectives. As your needs may change over time, we adapt. We believe in the strength and mutual benefits that come from long term and client focused relationships. 

Honesty

We tell it like it is. If we believe something you ask us to do will not achieve your objective, we will communicate our view to you and explain why, so you can make an informed decision.  Our goal is to understand what you want to achieve and guide you down that road. 

This is who we are

Our team of experienced professionals help Swedish-based companies
navigate the complexities and challenges of starting, managing and growing a business in the U.S.

Who we were then

Our founder, Annette Gustafsson Guenther, first founded Law Offices A.E. Gustafsson in 1993. After years of providing Swedish companies entering the U.S. with legal and business advice, she recognized there was also a need for qualified non-legal business and administrative services when operating a business in the U.S. To meet these needs, SkyBridge Resource Center was established in 2007.

Who we are now

Today, SkyBridge has evolved to a team of 26 consultants, specialized in a range of business areas, offering everything from customized specific services from time to time to turn-key solutions to primarily Swedish-owned businesses in the U.S. The foundation of our operations and services is the understanding of differences and similarities between Sweden and the U.S.

This is what we do

Incorporation Services

Based on each client’s specific needs and objectives, we offer turnkey start-up solutions and help you assess and determine type of corporate entity most appropriate for your business in the U.S. We also handle the registration process and all ancillary actions required to establish and operate a U.S. entity.

Business & Corporate Compliance

While privately held companies in the U.S. are not subject to as many regulatory requirements as in Sweden, there are annual actions required when doing business in the U.S., on federal and state level. We help you identify and handle requirements for your U.S. business to remain compliant and audit-ready.

HR & Employment Services

We help you understand and manage HR, employment regulatory requirements and customs in the U.S. We offer strategic guidance and advice for developing essential company policies and procedures, terms of employment offerings, terminations, compensation structures, resolving complex employment situations, and payroll management.

Talent Acquisition

We are uniquely geared to meet needs of Swedish businesses looking to find talent in the U.S. We can help you identify & assess qualified candidates, create a fully compliant position description or role profile, customize interview structure and assessment tools, and design recruitment specifications to client’s desired competencies, geographies, and markets.

Accounting & Financial Administration

We handle all your accounting needs, including payroll, financial statements preparation as well as coordination with tax services, outside auditors and benefit providers. Other services includes establishing bank & risk management relationships, and assistance with state and local tax activities as warranted.

Sales & Management Consulting Services

If you partner up with us, we become part of your team and business. We provide business development, sales strategies and management consulting. Apart from acting as your sounding board, we offer customer service representation, order coordination, and nurturing of customer & vendor relationships.

Virtual Office Services

We offer virtual office services, including but not limited to, use of our business address, mail handling & personalized phone services, use of office space and conference rooms.

IT & Managed Computer Services

We offer data security, managed computer services, as well as purchase and configuration of business-specific hardware and software programs, for your U.S. business.
