Entity-launch coordination
Manage the practical launch agenda across qualified corporate counsel, CPA advisors, banking, insurance, ownership records, decision rights and operating readiness.
04 · Business infrastructure
Establish the U.S. business. Build the operating platform. Lead it with accountability.
Henneke Holdings helps foreign-owned and growing businesses turn a U.S. entity into a functioning operation. Kane leads the executive and technical-commercial agenda while Heather supports customer communication, order coordination and daily follow-through within the operating platform required to serve customers confidently and scale responsibly.
Choose this service when the entity or commercial decision exists, but finance, customer service, supply chain and governance remain fragmented.
Who this is for
Senior operating leadership for a consequential growth move.
For foreign-owned manufacturers and growing businesses that need experienced U.S. operating leadership and practical local infrastructure without prematurely building every function in-house.
Questions we help resolve
A U.S. entity creates obligations before it creates momentum. The business must coordinate advisors, banking, contracts, imports, inventory, customer service, reporting and decision rights as one operating system.
- No senior U.S. leader accountable for local decisions and headquarters alignment
- Entity, banking, insurance, accounting and governance workstreams moving separately
- Unclear importer-of-record, customs-broker, tariff and landed-cost model
- No coordinated warehousing, inventory, freight or customer-service platform
- Weak forecasting, financial visibility, quality response and operating controls
Infrastructure that scales with demand
Create dependable local execution without overbuilding fixed cost.
A coordinated combination of customer service, third-party warehousing, freight management, order flow, accounting, professional advisors and operating controls gives the business a credible foundation for growth.

Local commercial and operating control
