How do fast food chains that originated in America start up/operate business across other countries?

208 views

How does McDonald’s America open a headquarters and chains in places like Europe or Asia? And how do they collect revenue from them? Or does each nation own their own chain?

How do countries share profits and who pays for what? I have so many questions about how these businesses operate internationally.

It’s all taxes. I mean it’s not like US based companies are freely sharing profits with the US government, they keep the money. A large corporation with locations in multiple countries just keeps track of where money is earned to pay taxes on it in the appropriate country. Large fast food chains and other huge companies have giant teams of lawyers and tax professionals that handle all of that.
