Business Support Services for French or Russian Speakers
Establishing Your U.S. Business with the Help of a Remote Business Assistant who Speaks Your Language
Are you thinking of establishing a business in the US? Is your native language Russian or French? Is your English less than perfect and you just don’t know where to start? Allow me to help you build a strong business presence in the US by showing you the right path and providing professional help you can count on.
Cultural awareness and understanding are by far more important than even speaking the language. You can hire a great interpreter, but what you truly need is a professional with a deep understanding of US business etiquette, cultural differences and overall corporate structure. That’s where I come in: coordinating all day-to-day business aspects, ensuring a smooth start and connecting you with a helpful network of professionals tailored to your company’s specific needs.

Polina translated for me on several occasions while representing a client who was most comfortable speaking in Russian. Polina was excellent – she was prompt, accurate, timely, and ensured that both my client and I were comfortable with our communications. She provided expert translation in court and did a stellar job. Polina is warm and helpful, and she is my first and only choice for Russian and French translation needs. Highly recommend!
