Sevara Advisory embeds inside your business as your US operating partner — managing entity formation, banking, hiring, regulatory compliance, and institutional access from day one. Not arm's-length advice. Operational accountability.
Begin the conversation →Global consultancies advise but do not execute — and charge premium fees for the privilege. Law and accounting firms handle paperwork but provide no commercial leadership. A direct US hire carries full salary and employment risk long before the market is proven.
The result: slow, expensive, high-risk entry even when your underlying business is strong.
Sevara Advisory solves this with a single model: we embed as your operator on the ground, take operational responsibility for your US subsidiary, and charge a straightforward monthly retainer. A committed senior operator at a fraction of the cost of a permanent executive hire.
Market analysis, state selection, regulatory and incentive mapping, launch budget.
Weeks 1–4
Entity formation, banking, tax structure, compliance registration.
Weeks 3–8
Office secured, first US hires made, vendor contracts, technology, brand localisation.
Months 2–6
Client acquisition, partnerships, government and institutional introductions, revenue generation begins.
Months 4–10
US operation runs independently. Transitions to ongoing monthly retainer advisory relationship.
Months 10–24
We work with established, profitable European mid-market companies who have strong products and real capital — but no trusted operator on the ground to build their US presence.
We do not work with early-stage companies or speculative ventures. Our clients have committed to the US market and need someone who will execute alongside them.

Sevara Advisory is founded and led by Lauren Lizanich, whose background in high-stakes political fundraising provides the firm's principal strategic asset: relationship access across Arizona's political, civic, and institutional leadership that competitive advisory firms cannot replicate.
The skills developed managing multi-million-dollar political campaigns — discretion, trust-building, navigating institutional decision-making, and converting access into committed outcomes — translate directly into guiding European businesses into the American market.
